BASS AND PRAWNS CAKE
Ingredients
1/2 kg sea bass already cleaned
300 gr of cooked prawns
3 eggs
250 ml of cooking cream
2 tbsp fried tomato
Salt and pepper
To decorate
Mayonnaise or pink sauce
Cooked shrimp
Egg Yarn
First we will cook our already clean sea bass (I ask for it without bones and in fillets from the fishmonger).
About 5-6 minutes, no more because then it will continue to cook in the oven.
In a food processor or food processor, place all the ingredients together with the already shredded sea bass (as I am a mother of little ones, I shred it well with my fingers to make sure that there are no bones left. Shred well and transfer to an elongated silicone mold, in typical plumcake. We place the cake mold inside another container suitable for the oven with water, the water has to reach half the height of our cake mold. We heat the oven to 180º and bake (heat up and down) for a few 25-30 minutes Let cool, unmold and decorate Keep it in the fridge and serve cold.
And for dessert...
CHOCOLATE CHRISTMAS FLOWER CAKE
Ingredients
1 package of phyllo dough (6-8 sheets)
Butter
Healthy cocoa and hazelnut spread, mine is from
400 ml oat drink
2 eggs
Sweetener (erythritol, cane sugar, coconut...)
1 lemon peel
1 cinnamon stick
Icing sugar to decorate
This cake is not complicated but it requires time and patience.
We separate our sheets of phyllo dough as we work them.
Grease them with butter and fold them accordion-shaped, then roll them into a flower shape and place them from the center of the mold outwards.
Spread a couple of sheets, instead of butter, with your chocolate cream and follow the same process, I have placed them separately to give it a cocoa flavor throughout the cake.
Bake at 180º for 10 minutes.
Now we prepare the flan with which we will cover it.
We put the vegetable drink to boil with the cinnamon and the lemon.
When it starts to boil, remove from heat.
We beat the eggs with the sweetener and add it to the vegetable drink.
Remove the tart from the oven and pour the flan mixture all over it.
We bake again for 25-30 minutes,
We will check that the cake is done by clicking with a stick.
We can decorate with icing sugar.

30 gr of unrefined cane sugar or sweetener of your choice

1 apple or 2 if they are small

Peel and chop the apple very well.

We place the braid in a previously greased round mold, we seal the crown well.

Stir well and put in an elongated mold, better if it is silicone so that it is easier to unmold.
Cool in the fridge for a couple of hours, in an airtight glass tupperware.
