Introduction to the Culinary Magic of Turron
Turrón de Jijona, a treasure of Spanish gastronomy, is much more than a simple ingredient; it’s an invitation to a sensory voyage. Made from ground almonds, quality honey and eggs, this tender Turron reflects a rich tradition and know-how handed down through generations. Incorporating Turrón de Jijona into a cake recipe means blending tradition and innovation to create a pastry rich in history and flavor.
Ingredients: Choice and Quality
To make this wonder, you will need the following ingredients:
- 130g Turrón de Jijona: The star ingredient, known for its soft texture and rich taste of almonds and honey.
- 150g butter: To add softness and unrivalled richness to your cake.
- 100g sugar: To sweeten and add flavour.
- 3 eggs: They will be the key to obtain an airy and light texture.
- 100g flour: The base of your cake, providing the structure.
- 1 sachet of yeast: To ensure your cake rises perfectly and is soft and fluffy.
Preparation: Child’s play
-
Preheating: Start by preheating your oven to 180 degrees Celsius, a crucial step for even baking.
-
Fusion of Flavors: In a saucepan, gently melt the Jijona Turron with the butter until smooth and creamy. Leave to cool.
-
Beat for Lightness: Meanwhile, in a bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar until the mixture whitens and becomes frothy, a sign that the air has been well incorporated.
-
Incorporating the dry ingredients: Gently add the sifted flour and yeast to your preparation, mixing just enough to incorporate, without overworking the dough.
-
Mixing Magic: Then add the warmed butter and Turron mixture to your bowl. Stir gently until smooth and homogeneous;
-
Perfect baking time: Pour the mixture into a buttered and floured cake tin, then bake for 20 to 25 minutes. The trick to knowing when your cake is ready? Insert a knife blade into the center; it should come out dry.
