Lenten chocolate cake
During Lent, you want to treat yourself to delicious pastries.
Ingredients:
- 250 ml
water - 130 ml
vegetable oil - 180 grams
sugar - 1 tablespoon
cocoa - 380 grams
flour - 1.5 teaspoons
baking powder - 100 grams
raisins - 100 grams
walnuts
Recipe:
1 Place raisins in a small bowl and pour boiling water over them. Leave for 7 minutes for the raisins to steam. After which, pour everything into a sieve. After the water has drained, transfer the raisins to a paper kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
2 Sift the required amount of flour through a fine sieve. This process will help rid the flour of lumps and enrich it with oxygen. Next, we need to roll the raisins in a small amount of flour. This is done so that the raisins do not stick together and are distributed evenly in the dough. It is better to use seedless raisins to prepare this dish. 3 Place the peeled walnuts in a blender bowl and grind at medium speed. This will take about 2 minutes. You should not chop the nuts too much. Then you need to transfer the chopped nuts to a separate bowl. 4 Sift premium wheat flour through a fine sieve into a separate bowl. This process makes it possible to get rid of lumps, dirt and enrich the flour with oxygen. 5 Now you need to take one hundred grams of flour and pour it into a separate bowl. Add cocoa powder and baking powder. Using a tablespoon, mix all ingredients thoroughly until smooth. Pour warm water into a bowl, add sugar and vanilla. Using a tablespoon, stir all ingredients until the sugar is completely dissolved. After this, pour in vegetable oil and mix everything thoroughly again. Then add the chocolate-flour mixture to this bowl and mix well. Add the remaining flour. The consistency of the dough should resemble thick sour cream. Then add chopped nuts and raisins. Mix everything thoroughly with a tablespoon until smooth. 6 Grease a baking dish with vegetable oil and sprinkle lightly with flour. If desired, line the pan with parchment paper. Pour the dough into the pan, spreading it evenly over the entire surface so that the dough bakes evenly. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and place the mold with the dough there. Bake the chocolate cake for 40 minutes. Check if the baked goods are ready by piercing them with a toothpick. If the toothpick remains dry, the gingerbread is ready. 7 Turn off the oven and remove the pan. Allow the baked goods to cool at room temperature. Then transfer the gingerbread to a wide dish. Serve the lean chocolate cake on the table, cutting it into portions. These pastries are good with a cup of aromatic tea. Enjoy your meal!

What is gingerbread?
Presumably, gingerbreads appeared in Rus' in the 9th century. Back then they were called honey cakes. And for cooking they used flour, honey, and berry juice. Historians attribute the modern name of the sweet pastry “kovrizhka” to a later period – the 13th-15th centuries.
The name of the aromatic, sweet and tasty pastry supposedly comes from the word “kovriga” (whole bread) - this is a round, large, most often rye bread. But often (especially in modern cooking) they are baked very small.
In culinary dictionaries there is the following description of this very popular pastry in Russian cuisine: “This confectionery product is prepared from gingerbread dough using a large amount of honey, sugar syrup, jam and spices. The rugs can be downright gigantic in size: more than a meter long, 6-10 cm high, about a meter wide. And sometimes they weigh more than a pound.”
For reference: a pound is equal to 16.38 kg.
This sweet and spicy pastry is very popular in Russian cuisine. Perhaps one of the reasons for this special love lies in the fact that it is very easy to prepare honey gingerbread. And numerous recipes allow you to use quite affordable products that are usually required for making gingerbread.
But one batch produces a lot of gingerbreads, because they are almost always small. In the old days, they baked only one rug, but a very large one. Such that it was impossible for one person to hold her.
In classic modern recipes, such gigantic gingerbread sizes are, of course, very rare. Unless you need to set some kind of culinary record.

How to bake gingerbread?
Read and be sure to prepare HONEY RUGS.
In fact, to prepare this dish you need very, very few ingredients and very, very much desire and love.
Here's what you'll need:
2 cups premium flour 0.5 cups granulated sugar 150 g honey, it is better if you use buckwheat honey 1 egg 0.5 teaspoon soda 50 g walnuts ground cloves cinnamon powder.
And I already said about patience, desire and love, there is never too much of them, so invest - don’t regret it!
Grind the egg with sugar until homogeneous, add honey, cinnamon on the tip of a knife, a little ground cloves and soda. Mix everything very thoroughly. Add flour to the mixture and knead the dough with your hands for 5-10 minutes.
Now some digression
. If you want your gingerbreads to have the dark color characteristic of real gingerbreads, add zhenka to the dough. It is a sweet mass and is prepared as follows. Two pieces of sugar are burned in the smallest frying pan (Teflon is not suitable for this purpose), diluted with 0.5 cups of boiled water, brought to a boil right there in the frying pan, and added to the dough along with honey.
Place the finished dough on a baking sheet, previously greased with oil, and smooth it out. I do not recommend sprinkling the baking sheet with flour, since the layer of dough that will come into contact with the flour will absorb it and be tough, like a sole, and tasteless after it cools. Place crushed (but not very finely) nuts on top of the dough; you can add raisins to the nuts. Bake in a moderately hot oven for 15-20 minutes.
When the gingerbread is ready, remove it from the oven, cool, cut into diamonds or squares and place on a beautiful dish. The gingerbread can be cut in the middle into two cakes, spread with jam (preferably thick and sour, for example plum), and pour glaze over the top layer.
The glaze for gingerbread is also better from jam, marmalade or marmalade. The jam (the same as that which was spread in the middle of the gingerbread) must be melted with a small amount of boiled water (in a 2:1 ratio). Bring to a boil and turn off immediately. Pour the cooled glaze over the top of the gingerbread several times to give it a long-lasting, shiny, sticky crust. After each subsequent watering, you need to let the gingerbread dry. You can sprinkle raisins and nuts on top if they were included in the dough.
You can also simply sprinkle the gingerbread with powdered sugar and lightly dust with cinnamon powder (cinnamon should be sprinkled on top only when the gingerbread is still in the oven, but the heat is already off. This rule with sprinkling cinnamon applies to almost all baked sweet dishes).
Note! I don’t recommend making a lot of small gingerbreads on one baking sheet, since the middle of the gingerbread is much more pleasant to eat than the side, and small gingerbreads are just sides!
In addition, you can cut out almost anything from a large gingerbread. When I was a child, my mother baked me a gingerbread, and I don’t know what scissors or knife she used to cut out a hedgehog from it, then she covered it with regular white glaze, dusted the spine area with powdered sugar, made eyes and a nose out of raisins, and smeared her mouth with red jam. I will remember this gingerbread all my life!
Enjoy your gingerbread tea party to you and your children!

Honey gingerbread recipe with photo
Preparing honey gingerbread begins with brewing strong tea. Pour the required amount of hot tea into the bowl in which you will prepare the dough.
Add natural honey to a bowl of tea.
Stir. Beat in the egg.
Mix all the ingredients for the honey gingerbread dough with a whisk.
Pour in sunflower oil.
If you can use both refined and unrefined sunflower oil for frying, then for dough it is best to use refined oil. Thanks to this oil, the dough will turn out without the characteristic aftertaste of oil.
To enrich the taste of the honey gingerbread, add a small amount of cinnamon.
As we know, cinnamon and honey go very well in taste and this tandem can be found in many home baking recipes. Add cocoa powder. Cocoa will not significantly affect the taste of the gingerbread, but it will change the color of the dough, making it darker. Mix the dough. Place raisins in a small bowl. Sprinkle it with a tablespoon of flour and stir.
Raisins rolled in flour will be better distributed throughout the dough. Add it to the bowl with the dough. Stir again.
To make the honey cake airy and rise well, add soda. Just baking soda, no need to quench it with vinegar.
Sift the wheat flour through a sieve. Add to bowl with dough base.
Mix the gingerbread dough thoroughly until the lumps of flour disappear. It should be about the same thickness as biscuit dough. If you scoop the dough into a spoon and turn it over, it should flow slowly, in thick ribbons.
Grease a glass or ceramic baking dish with vegetable oil. It is better to cover a Teflon mold with baking paper and then grease it with oil.
Heat the oven to 160-170 C. Place the pan with the gingerbread on the middle shelf.
Bake it for 40-45 minutes. Check the readiness of the pie using the classic method - with a match or a toothpick.
The honey cake is ready. All that remains is to decorate it. I decided to top it with milk fudge. Mix milk with sugar. Pour it into a saucepan. Add diced butter. Place the pan on the stove. Bring the mixture to a boil while constantly stirring. Add flour and stir quickly until lumps of flour are incorporated. Add food coloring. Cook the fudge over low heat for another 2-3 minutes.
Pour milk fudge over the honey gingerbread. Sprinkle it with coconut, nuts or grated chocolate. Place it in the refrigerator for one hour to allow the fudge to set. But it’s hard to resist, it smells too temptingly of honey and cinnamon.
The honey gingerbread, the photo of which you see below, was photographed immediately after preparation. The glaze, as you can see, has not hardened yet. That's all, now you know how to make honey gingerbread at home. Enjoy your meal. I will be glad if this honey gingerbread recipe is useful to you. I also recommend making the Honey cake with sour cream.
