Bizcocho de Almendras

An almond cake soft and delicious. Recommended to see a smile of pleasure at breakfast or snack.
It is made without flour, only almonds, eggs, sugar and potato starch, and therefore is suitable for coeliacs.

Ingredients:
-250g of almonds
-220g of sugar
-150g of potato starch
-6 eggs
-1 pack of pastry yeast
-Icing sugar.

Procedure:
Beat the egg yolks with half the sugar until fluffy.

Add the potatoes and grated almonds. Mix well until a homogeneous mixture is a little thick.

In a separate bowl, the egg whites are mounted until stiff (about to snow), adding the remaining sugar to form a firm meringue to incorporate with the rest of the dough.

Add the rest of the meringue turning and spinning around so the dough doesn't lower.

Place in a buttered pan.

Place in the oven, which is preheated to 180 degrees.

Bake for about 40 minutes.

Chocolate Vegan Donuts

Ingredients (donuts)

225 g flour 
150 ml of milk
15 g of yeast
1 tablespoon margarine
1 tablespoon of sugar.
1 pinch of salt.

Procedure (donuts):

Dissolve yeast in warm milk. Put in a tall glass. Let stand for about 15 minutes (Put a towel or some kind of cloth over the glass and leave it in a place where no air can get in.)

While we wait for the 15 minutes to pass, we can go into mixing the flour with the salt, sugar and margarine (previously melt it in the microwave). 

When the 15 minutes have passed, mix the rest of the milk and yeast with the flour until the dough no longer sticks to your hands or the bowl. (You may need to add some more flour to make it a soft dough but not sticky).

We let the dough rest for about 35 minutes in a container in the oven but covered with a towel. The trick is to put the oven at 50º the first 5 minutes and then turn off and let the dough fermented follow with the residual heat. After the half hour or so goes by, the dough will have increased more than twice its size.

Knead again and stretch dough on a flat surface sprinkled with flour to prevent from sticking. Try to leave a thickness of 1cm or so. Start making the shape of donuts with two covers (one big hole and a smaller hole). Repeat this process until you have finished all the dough. (I made 12 donuts, it all depends on the size).

When ready, we place them on a tray with flour sprinkled on the bottom and put back to let sit in the oven that should still be warm for about 15 minutes.

Fry in a pan at medium heat, but not very high so that they cook well on the inside. Make sure they're a golden color on both sides, then drain the oil from the donuts when fried on kitchen paper to remove excess oil.


Ingredients (chocolate glaze)

100 g of chocolate to melt
3 tablespoons of water
1 tablespoon of butter
100 g sugar glaze (or powdered sugar) 

Procedure (chocolate glaze):

Mix the chocolate, water and butter to melt in the microwave for about 30 seconds (until melted).

When melted, add the powdered sugar to the mix. Make sure it gets a creamy texture, not too watery or too thick.

Decorating (2 options):
1. Pour the glaze carefully on each one of the donuts with a spoon.
2. Dip the donuts into the glaze to have more chocolate flavor.
