Cupavci

This is my mothers recipe. She used to make it a lot when I was a kid. Now it’s my turn to make it for mine.
I wrote it down many years ago, but now I have changed it.

The original recipe:
4 eggs
16 tbsp. sugar
16 tbsp. canola oil
22 tbsp. wheat flour
16 tbsp. milk
Baking powder

I think, it is easier to measure with a measuring cup, but if you have time and think it is fun to measure with a tablespoon, then you should definitely try it.

Equipment

• Electric whisk
• Whisk (regular)/spatula
• Measuring cup
• Bowl
• Pot
• Baking pan lined with parchment paper

Ingredients

  

Sponge

• 4 eggs
• 250 g sugar
• 150 canola oil
• 245 g wheat flour
• 170 ml milk
• 2 tsp baking powder

Cocoa sauce

• 200 ml milk
• 100 g sugar
• 100 g margarine
• 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

Coating

• 1 bag grated coconut

Instructions

 

Sponge

• Preheat the oven, 175°C (conventional).
• Beat the eggs with the sugar in a bowl until light and fluffy.
• Mix the baking powder with the flour in another bowl and add to the egg-sugar mix.
• Mix with a whisk or a spatula (fold in).
• Add the rest of the ingredients and mix.
• Pour the batter into a baking pan.
• Bake 30-35 min. It depends on the oven.

  Use a toothpick to see if it is baked.

  Cool completely.

Cocoa sauce

• While the sponge is in the oven, make the sauce.
• Add all the ingredients in a small pot and heat until melted and combined.

  Cool.

The fun part

• Cut the sponge 6×4.
• Take one piece at the time and dip it in the sauce – every side. Put it down on a plate or a chopping board. This way you can see if you have enough sauce. You can always add more with a teaspoon, if you see some yellow sponge.
  
• When you are done, take one piece at the time and coat it with coconut – every side.
  
• Store in airtight container in the fridge.

  Enjoy with a cup of cold milk or hot coffee.
