Ice Cubes

Picture 101

For the brownie

2 cups water
250 g + 6 Tbsp sugar
juice of one lemon
6 eggs
2 Tbsp cocoa
3 Tbsp oil
6 Tbsp flour
10 g baking powder

Beat egg whites with 6 Tbsp of sugar. Add egg yolks, cocoa, oil, flour and baking powder. Bake in a greased pan in preheated oven (I baked mine on 190°C for about 25 minutes). Make a syrup out of water, 250 g sugar and lemon juice, and while it’s still hot, pour it over cooled brownie.

For the filling

9 Tbsp flour
11 Tbsp sugar
a few Tbsp milk
250 g margarine

Dissolve flour and sugar in some milk. Boil 1/2 l milk, remove from heat and gradually pour into it flour and sugar mixture, stirring continuously. Continue to cook on low heat until it thickens. Beat margarine with a mixer. When milk mixture is completely cold, stir it carefully in margarine. It should be foamy. Spread over cooled brownie.

Top with favorite chocolate glaze. I make mine with 100 g dark chocolate, a piece of butter and some milk.

Dessert should be kept in fridge, and served cold. After preparation, leave in a fridge overnight.

This was a common dessert in former Yugoslavia, for another version of this recipe, visit Medena’s beautiful Café Chocolada blog.

    Thank you for the terrific Serbian recipes! Do you know any other Serbian cakes, possibly something fruit like strawberry? I need to make a special birthday cake. Thanks for any information, I really appreciate it.
