- 250g de nuci tocate - 250g chopped walnuts

- 200g de unt - 200g of butter

- 1 pachet de foi de napolitana - 1 wafer sheets packet

Începeți prin amestecarea zahărului (200 g) cu 150 ml de apă. Puneți-le pe o plită la foc mediu și amestecați până când amestecul începe să devină chihlimbar / aur. Durează aproximativ 10 minute. 

Start by mixing the sugar (200g) with the 150ml of water. Put them on hob on medium heat and mix until the mixture begins to get amber / gold. It takes about 10 minutes or so. 

În acest moment se adaugă untul tăiat în cuburi și se amestecă repede până când se incorporeaza.
Separat, se amestecă ouale cu cealaltă ceașcă de zahăr până devine spumă și triplă în volum. Acest amestec se adaugă la amestecul de caramel. Se amestecă bine cu o lingură de lemn pentru a încorpora. Lăsați acum la foc mic, amestecând continuu aproximativ 15 minute sau până când amestecul se îngroasa ușor.

Separately, mix the eggs with the other cup of sugar until it becomes foamy and triple in volume. This mixture is added to the mix of caramel. Mix well with a wooden spoon to incorporate. Leave now on low heat, continuously stirring about 15 minutes or until the mixture thickens slightly.
Pull the heat and add the vanilla extract and the nuts chopped very roughly.

Se lasă să se răcească, apoi se întinde comozitia pe foile de napolitana. .

Allow to cool then spread the wafer sheets with the caramel mixture.

Pentru inceput facem blatul.

For start we make the cake.

Intr-un bol mixam untul cu zaharul pana devine o crema fina. Adaugam cate un ou mixand continuu.

In a bowl mixing butter with sugar until creamy smooth. Add one egg at a time continuous mixing.

Adaugam faina, praful de copt , esenta , lapte, iaurtul si bicarbonatul. Mixam usor.

Add flour, baking powder, essence, milk, yogurt and baking. Easy mixing.

Compozitia o turnam intr-o tava si o bagam la cuptor cca 30 de minute.

The composition pour it into a pan and bake, about 30 minutes.

Crema de vanilie: punem zaharul cu apa pe foc si asteptam sa se formeze un caramel. Adaugam, laptele. Separat amestecam ouale cu faina si dupa ce s-a topit tot caramelul adaugam aceasta compozitie in lapte. Amestecam continuu pana se ingroasa. O luam de pe foc si adaugam untul amestecand usor pana se topeste complet. O acoperim cu folie alimentara si o lasam sa se raceasca complet.Dupa ce s-a racit complet crema  adaugam esenta de vanilie.

Vanilla cream: put sugar and water on the fire and expect to form a caramel. Add the milk. Separately mix eggs with flour and  after all the caramel has melted add this mixture in milk. Stir continuously until thickened. We take off the heat and add the butter, stirring gently until completely melted. Covered with foil and let it cool completely. When is cool add vanilla.

Crema de mascarpone: mixam mascarponele cu zahar si adaugam frisca (eu folosesc o frisca neindulcita).

Mascarpone cream:  mix mascarpone with sugar and add the cream (I use an unsweetened whipped cream).

Montarea prajiturii: blatul il taiem in doua. In tava in care am copt blatul, punem prima foaie de blat, adaugam 1/2 crema de vanilie si deasupra punem a doua foaie de blat.

Mounting cake: cut it in half the cake . In baking pan in which we bake the cake, put the first sheet of cake, add 1/2 vanilla cream and put over the second sheet of cake.

Pe a doua foaie turnam restul de crema de vanilie si crema de mascarpone.
Inainte de servire trebuie tinuta la rece cel putin 4-5 ore.

On the second sheet pour the remaining vanilla cream and mascarpone cream.
Before serving  should be kept cold at least 4-5 hours.

Se serveste ornata cu ce topping doriti - ciocolata rasa, glazura de caramel, vanilie sau ciocolata.

Serve garnished with what toppings you want - grated chocolate, caramel , vanilla or chocolate frosting.
