Orange cake with maple syrup and Mascarpone

Ingredients

For the cupcake:
Baking mix - 1 pack (400 g)
Soft butter - 100 g
Milk (or water) - 160 ml (3/4 cup)
*********************
For impregnation:
Maple syrup - 5 tbsp. (can be replaced with honey or orange juice)
Citrus liqueur - 1 tsp.
Water - 2 tbsp.
*********************
For cream:
Mascarpone cheese - 250 g
Egg yolks - 2 pcs
Powdered sugar - 3 tbsp.
Citrus liqueur - 1 tbsp.
Zest of a small orange - 1 pc.

I always have dry baking mix on hand (just in case). To prepare the cake batter, you need to follow the instructions on the package...(I used orange cake mix).

The 400 gram pack says that you need to add 100 grams of softened butter and 160 ml of milk or water to the dry mixture. Mix everything thoroughly.

Grease the baking dish with oil and place the dough in it, filling no more than 3/4 of the way.

Bake at 200 degrees for 40 minutes. At this time, prepare the impregnation: mix all the ingredients for it. If you like moist desserts, I recommend preparing a double portion of the soak.

Prepare the cream: combine the yolks with powdered sugar and liqueur and beat with a mixer. Add cheese and orange zest, mix everything well. Place the cream in the refrigerator.

The cooled cake releases very well from the sides of the pan. Remove it from the mold and cut it lengthwise into two parts with a long knife. Soak the lower part with syrup (1/2 part of the syrup). Spread half the cream onto the cupcake. Cover with the top of the cake and soak it with the remaining syrup.

The cooled cream will harden a little... so you can put it in a pastry syringe and decorate the top and sides of the cupcake (as you like). Since the cake is well soaked in syrup and the cream has been previously cooled, the cake can be served immediately. But if you have time, then keep it in the refrigerator so that it soaks in more deeply.

Maple syrup pie

A quick and tasty pie, it’s like a lifesaver for me when I need to quickly figure out something for tea, but don’t have time to fuss too much. There is no butter or margarine(!), and less sugar can be used. Guests always ask for the recipe:

It turns out very tasty if you add something sour and piquant mixed with maple, for example, lemon syrup, pomegranate concentrate, or simply sprinkle the pie with lemon juice before pouring over the mapel. (Lemon syrup: lightly boil the juice of one or two lemons with 2-3 tablespoons of sugar.)
You can eat the pie right away, but it tastes even better the next day.

First of all, people with high blood glucose levels should be careful with it, as the product is very sweet and can cause a jump in blood glucose levels.

Maple syrup can cause harm due to individual intolerance, which occurs quite often. If consumed by people with sensitivity to the components of the liquid, there is a possibility of skin rash, itching, redness and other symptoms of diathesis.

Note! Due to the high risk of developing allergies, pregnant women, especially in the last trimester, children, especially small ones, and the elderly should exclude this liquid from their diet.

How is maple syrup made?

Before making maple syrup, the sap is first extracted, usually in early spring or late winter, after buds appear on the branches. For this, only healthy, young trees are used. Their bark is cut to a depth of 5 cm, and special tubes are inserted into the resulting voids. Next, they are sent to a bucket or jars, where the liquid drains. This process is in many ways reminiscent of collecting birch sap.

After receiving the liquid, it is filtered to eliminate any remaining bark. Then it is filled into non-stick pans and evaporated under the lid for 30-60 minutes. It is not recommended to do this for longer, otherwise the product will turn out too thick, which may result in difficulties with sugaring. It may also reduce shelf life. At the same time, it is best to boil the juice outside, since at this time the steam evaporates, which then remains on the furniture in the kitchen, leaving a sticky film.

After purchasing maple syrup at home with a more or less thick consistency, you need to cool it a little, pour it into jars and seal it tightly with plastic lids. It should be stored in the refrigerator or basement for a maximum of one year.

Recipes with maple syrup

This product is used very widely in cooking. It is used to cook fruits, meat and even fish. It makes quite tasty sweets and baked goods. This is an excellent replacement for honey and sugar in jams, preserves, and preserves. He showed himself perfectly in buns, pies, waffles. It can not only be added to dough, but also used as an additive to pancakes and pancakes.

Pay close attention to the following recipes using maple syrup:

• Baked apples. First, prepare a mixture of cinnamon (a pinch), pre-soaked, dried and ground white raisins (100 g) and walnuts (one cup). Then pour boiling water over and leave large, non-wormy green apples with a sour taste (5-7 pcs.) for 30 minutes. After this, cut off the top, remove most of the pulp and fill the depressions made with the previously prepared filling. Next, place it all on a baking dish and pour maple syrup on top, mixed in a 1:1 ratio with boiled, cooled water. Bake the fruit in the oven at minimum temperature for 20-30 minutes. Before serving, finished apples can be poured with melted ice cream.

At this time, mix cinnamon (a pinch), maple syrup (60 ml), water (70 ml) and crushed walnuts (100 mg). Then place this mixture on a baking sheet, greased with butter and lined with parchment paper, and bake for about 10 minutes. Next, cool this stuffing and fill the cleaned bird with it. Place the chicken on a baking sheet, drizzle maple syrup on top and place in the oven for an average of 40 minutes.
• Cupcakes. Break chicken eggs (3 pcs.) into a saucepan, pour in butter (120 g) melted over low heat, add soda slaked with vinegar (1 tsp) and sugar (100 g). Then beat the mixture and carefully add into it, stirring, the sifted flour, which is needed so that the dough turns out a little thicker than for pancakes. Then peel and chop the apples, add to the pan, and also pour in maple syrup (5 tbsp). Stir the mixture, grease the molds with vegetable oil and spread the dough over them. Bake the cupcakes for 25 minutes at a temperature of no more than 200 degrees. When ready, sprinkle them with powdered sugar or maple syrup.
• Cookie. Melt the butter (200 g), combine it with granulated sugar (150 g) and beat with a blender.

After this time, take it out, roll it out into a thin layer no more than 0.5 cm thick, cut out a maple leaf using special molds, place it on a baking sheet greased with vegetable oil, and bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Top the cookies with your favorite marmalade, jam or condensed milk.

Salt the dish to taste, cool and eat along with your favorite side dishes.

There are usually no difficulties with how maple syrup is eaten. You can use it to make ice cream, yoghurts, buns, cocktails, and puff pastries. It is also suitable as a substitute for sugar in tea, coffee and other drinks. Its taste is so interesting that the product can simply be spread on bread and consumed as is.

The first written mention of the product dates back to 1760. One of the documents talked about certain trees growing in Canada that produce very tasty juice that can be processed to produce healthy treats. But there is evidence proving the fact that maple syrup was used by the indigenous Indians of North America even before Columbus landed on the shores of the continent. In Russia, people started talking about it only in the 20th century; it was then that the first attempts were made to produce a delicacy from the sap of Norway maples.

The most delicious syrup is made from the sap of the sugar maple, which, unfortunately, grows only in North America and Canada. By the way, it is the latter country that accounts for the largest percentage of product exports in the world. She earns about 140 million Canadian dollars annually from this. In the US, the leading states in producing the product are Vermont, Maine and Pennsylvania. Here, the quality of the liquid is monitored by employees of a special committee.

From 40 liters of tree sap, only 1 liter of syrup can be prepared, which is why it is quite expensive. On average, 500 ml of product from Canada costs 1500-2000 rubles. Most often you have to buy it to order in online stores, since such goods are a rare “guest” in supermarkets.

When choosing maple syrup, you need to make sure that it is transparent or translucent, with a brown tint. Saturated colors may indicate the addition of artificial colors to improve presentation. It is equally important that the liquid smells like wood. Also, the label should not list any ingredients other than tree essence.

The shelf life of maple syrup in low humidity conditions in the refrigerator or basement ranges from a few months to 1-2 years. The longer it sits, the more it darkens and the taste becomes more tart.

This is an excellent product for cosmetology, which can be added to masks for the care of hair, lips, skin around the eyes, and so on. It moisturizes the skin well, saturates it with moisture, prevents dryness, scrubs and cleanses it of toxins.

Maple syrup is one of the ingredients in an effective weight loss cocktail, the recipe for which was invented by the famous nutritionist Stanley Burrows. He suggested combining hot ground cayenne pepper (a pinch), lime, grapefruit and lemon juice (2 tbsp each) and the main product (20 ml). The finished drink should be taken 300 ml per day as part of the Niira diet.

Below we provide a table that describes the countries with the highest consumption of the product.

Place	A country	State / province
1	Canada	Quebec
2	USA	Utah, Vermont, Pennsylvania
3	France	Ile-de-France, Normandy, Champagne

In Canada, this product has become so popular that the province of Quebec celebrates the Sugar Hut holiday every year. It falls during the harvesting of juice; festivities take place right in the forest. At this time, guests are treated to delicacies based on maple sap syrup. Usually beans, chicken breast, ham and even beer with the addition of this ingredient are served.

Since it is very difficult to find real sugar maple syrup in Europe, if necessary, due to the similarity in consistency, color and taste, it can be replaced with agave essence or ordinary honey.

Maple syrup is known all over the world; it is used in the dishes of prestigious restaurants; housewives surprise guests with their dishes with maple syrup, because it gives them an extraordinary, refined taste.

Dustin Hoffman's hero said: “Maple syrup should be served before pancakes,” and our compatriots wondered what kind of culinary ingredient it was and what it tasted like. Finally, a happy opportunity presented itself to appreciate all its taste qualities.

Below are dishes with maple syrup.

Maple Pecan.

Cashews - half a cup, Coconut oil - 3 tablespoons, Almonds - half a cup, Maple syrup - 3 tablespoons, Pecans - 1.5 cups.

Grind cashews at medium speed until flour forms. Be careful not to overdo it, because we need flour, not butter. We do the same with almonds. Mix the ghee of coconut in a food processor along with the mixed flour. After putting it in any convenient form (I had a regular pan), place it in the refrigerator.
Beat honey, coconut oil and maple syrup in a blender. Spread a layer of pecans evenly on top of our crusts from the refrigerator. Pour the resulting mixture from the blender on top. Place immediately in the refrigerator and do not remove until serving.
This pecan pie is a favorite among unbaked desserts in many raw food cafes abroad. It's all about the exquisite, unique taste and at the same time, quite simple ingredients. The crunchy effect is achieved through a layer of cashews and almonds. Many people will simply never guess in their life that this dessert is raw. I warn you: it’s very sweet and takes a relatively long time to prepare, but it’s worth it!

Maple syrup is very common in Canada and the USA; this syrup was first mentioned in the 17th century, when travelers said that Canada has amazing trees that produce a sweet drink. Indeed, maple syrup is obtained by collecting the sap from the sugar maple tree.
