Cake "Green" with halva

Irsha, thank you. I don't like halva, but the birthday boy has a weakness for this product. Therefore, I tried to please him. I tried so hard, I tried so hard, but he didn’t feel the halva.
And I added oil, I really wanted the green color. In the next. once the oil will be excluded. It really is superfluous

Thanks a lot to the author of the recipe!
I baked a cake twice according to this recipe, at first just try it, and today, or rather yesterday, for my daughter's birthday. The guests were sooo surprised by the unusual color of the cakes !!!
The halva was in a pack for the first time, with a soapy root in the composition, the presence of which I learned about almost starting to cook, decided to take a chance and baked with one cake .. Cut into layers, smeared with sour cream, they turned green only partially and only after a while. .. However, it was quite tasty!
The second time the halva was weighed out, which is not known in the composition, it baked with three cakes, the cuttings along the edge were also not very green, I was already upset, but in the end the cake in the cut was a wonderful green color!)) The only thing, it was necessary to soak it harder, it was a little dry for my taste.

For a long time I dared to bake this cake, and now, finally. The cake is just super. Everything turned green, and not immediately, but gradually. I baked with one cake, cut into 3 parts. Custard cream + butter with condensed milk. Awesome recipe. Thank you very much!!!

I LOVE HALVA NECESSARILY TRY THANKS FOR THE RECIPE

Vooot, I wanted to bake, but decided that first I needed to find the reason for the greenness ...
found ...

[/ quThe greenish color of the under-protein mass and the grayish-greenish color of the halva produced from sunflower is explained by the presence of a sensitive dye in the sunflower seed kernel, which turns green with slight dissociation, and becomes discolored when acidic hydrogen is introduced.
]

I'll bake! Only now I’ll crawl out of a cold condition ... The recipe is in the tabs)

Didn't bake the cake (yet). But somehow I added sunflower seeds to soda bread with rye flour. They turned emerald in color, and the bread around them also turned green. It sounds nice, but the view was not very good.

Everyone was shocked by the emeraldness of this cake, arranged a quiz for the victims to guess why the cake is green (!) Despite the prompts, the tasters were confused and could not get to the bottom of it, hehe. I immediately warned, however, that it was not a dye. In the answers, all sorts of gooseberries, etc., prevailed. The top was covered with chocolate icing, everything was organically matched and there was no dryness. I propose a competition for the original name of this wonderful miracle, otherwise it is just Green ... Emerald took root in me.

[alinych]

Agree with alinych,! Let's call this miracle "Emerald Cake"

I suggest names:
"Malachite Box"
"Tales of Bazhov"
"Ural Gems"
"Emerald City"
"City of Emerald"

[Veronica]

Veronica, I am for the "Malachite Box" For the anniversary of one lady I want to give such a cake as a surprise))

So you need to bake it with one cake? (or is it three cakes?)
and increase the amount of cream?

[alinych]

Agree with alinych,! Let's call this miracle "Emerald Cake"

I support! I will bake again, they ask.

The oven, in my opinion, is optimal with three cakes, in my personal and Cartoons experience, you should avoid a lot of liquid creams and sour cream, because of them, the cakes lose their emerald color!

The cake is delicious. preparing is simple. made three cakes. 300 grams of butter and 300 grams of condensed milk. ate the next day. inside the cakes are green.halva was cheap, with soap root extract. Everyone asked again cautiously, "Why is it green ?!" assumed the taste of nuts, although they were not there. turned out to be 8-9 cm high. the family said to take note.
thank you very much!
And also .... I would like to figure out how to make bottle-colored jelly on it .... like "Nugget" .... perhaps?

Fairies, and what can replace eggs in this recipe? I really want to cook, but we don't eat eggs

So you need to bake it with one cake?

with the purchase of a pizza maker - more often I bake all the cakes in it, in a silicone pizza mold (bottom 29 cm, wall height 3 cm), and quickly and always successfully
and my friend bakes it in a grass grass, and in the oven on a large baking sheet, if more is needed

product norm for Green cake for 1 tab = half, crust = about 2.5 cm

and what can replace eggs in this recipe?

Masha, only if with a decoction of chickpeas, there are many girls invented - and meringue make on broths of chickpeas and some other broths

I recently baked this cake in a slow cooker - then I divided it into 2 cakes, = - it is better in an oven or pizza maker - and faster and drier, the main thing is that a thinner layer is baked much faster

I smeared the bottom layer with raspberries and sugar + a bit of sour cream on top = and this cake and soak from raspberries completely ceased to be green, but at first it was, the top cake was smeared with a simple, simple cream of condensed milk + cocoa powder, mix, this cake remained dry and green

in. there is a vote, and I’m just cooking it a second time. ))) that is: "I will repeat")))
Here, I see how to lubricate the form? and then I forgot the first time ... (and this time my husband took halva with peanuts. did not have time to warn)
for the first time baked for my daughters to return from the camp "Ural Gems"
now the youngest on dr. Everyone asked him))).
I report: maybe I baked the cake a little higher temperature (I usually always put the oven at 180 degrees - I have a gas oven and 180 is just "6 o'clock" on the clock, and then I decided to increase the temperature a little and spun more, but how much is it really in degrees - I don't know, I wanted 200 .. ..); the second possible deviation from the recipe is whole peanuts in halva; third deviation - apple cider vinegar... In the end: the cake is tall, tasty, but only slightly green in the very center of the cakes. so that it does not even catch the eye and absolutely did not cause the emotions that I was counting on .... We just ate it all with pleasure and additives))).
I decided for myself - the reason is the temperature. overheated, I think the cakes. I will do it next time at 180 degrees. easy and tasty and effective! ))))
by the way, the guests, guessing this cake, said "ahh! this is that ...." moss ... "," Forest moss ", it seems ...." that is, people caused such an association. but it looks like! So I will sign it in my notebook ...

Live and learn.

Thank you! Need to try!

sharing again. they only ask him to cook at home! I already just don’t perceive halva.))) tastier in a cake.)))

Veronica, formochka, not every sunflower halva gives a rich green color. The lighter the halva, the less green the cake. It is necessary to take a darker, fatty halva - as they did in Soviet times, although that one is not there.
And if you put baking powder, and not soda, it also turns a little green.

Hello. Oh, I didn’t know that not every halva gives color in the cake. I cooked it yesterday, three cakes, on a 26 cm shape, rose, lush, while I was cooking, it smelled of halva, but there was no color at all (in the sense - not an ounce of green)
I wanted to ask you more - how do you grind bread crumbs with halva? I grated the whole halva 0.5 kg on a fine grater, and poured in the crackers and mixed everything. Maybe it was wrong?

And one more thing - my stove has only 4 positions in the oven - and not the temperature, but the heating elements (top, bottom). I bake mainly on 1-ch, but on 2-ke - everything burns quickly (temperature 180-220). Yesterday I put 1, and the next cake at 2, and the third alternately. No, it didn't help, none of them turned green.I did two under creams, I did a rough alignment, I will train a picture with a decorgel. But the last one, so I left, to try. In general, I liked it. Now I wonder what he is with the cream and in the cut.

[RedmondM70]

RedmondM70, Ludmila, baking longer than necessary and at higher t also reduces greens.

And I only poured the crackers the first time, then I forgot - and not at all worse.

Irsha (Irina), of course .. I wanted so much to get a green one .. Well, then, when I change the stove, I'll try to bake it again. About crackers - very interesting, without them I'll do it. Thank you

[Ludmila]

Ludmila, do you have a pizza maker? there are biscuits, etc. bake

Irin, no. I didn’t even know that there was a special machine for pizza. Yes, I’m looking after another oven anyway, but it’s been half a year already. This one is good, very nimble, but with the temperature - that's the only way.
