Pasca

 Ingrediente/ingredients:
- 10 oua - 10 eggs
- 6 linguri de faina - 6 tablespoons flour
- 10 linguri de zahar - 10 tablespoons sugar

- zahar vanilat - vanilla sugar
- 3 linguri de ulei - 3 tablespoons oil
- un praf de copt - eu am folosit unul cu aroma de sofran - Baking powder - I used one flavored with saffron
- esenta de vanilie - Vanilla
- coaja rasa de la o portocala - Zest of one orange
- coaja rasa de la o lamaie - Zest of one lemon
- 100g nuca de cocos - eu am folosit nuca de cocos mozaic, din cauza asta a iesit si colorata umplutura
- 100g coconut - I used coconut mosaic, the filling came colored
- 500g branza dulce - 500g cheese
- 3 linguri de apa rece - 3 tablespoons cold water

Facem un pandispan din 6 oua, 6 linguri de zahar, 6 de faina, esenta de vanilie, 3 linguri de ulei si praf de copt.Il punem la copt intr-o forma de tort cu peretii detasabili.

Make a sponge of 6 eggs, 6 tablespoons sugar, 6 tablespoons flour, vanilla, 3 tablespoons oil and baking powder.Bake it in a form with removable walls.

Batem 4 oua cu zaharul vanilat si 4 linguri de zahar tos. Adaugam coaja rasa de portocala si lamaie, vanilia , branza si nuca de cocos. Amestecam totul bine.

Beat 4 eggs with vanilla sugar and 4 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Add orange and lemon zest, vanilla, cheese and coconut. Mix everything well.

Dupa 15 minute la foc mic, scoatem pandispanul si adaugam in centru compozitia de branza,chiar daca nu s-a copt.

After 15 minutes on low heat, remove the sponge and add the cheese mixture in the center, even if it's not baked.

Mai lasam la cuptor pana se coace bine.

We leave in the oven to bake well.

Lasam sa se raceasca si apoi scoatem pasca. Este delicioasa si atractiva pentru ca are un aluat de prajitura si nu cel traditional de pasca.

Let it cool and then remove the cake. It is delicious and attractive because it has a cake dough and not the traditional one.

Bon appetit!
