COCONUT, LEMON AND POPPY SEED TORTE 37815

I love lemons; their smell, acidity and freshness they give to dishes. Every morning, before anything else, I have a glass of water with some lemon juice; It helps my migraines. I love having them in savoury dishes, but desserts with lemon are irresistible to me.

Kokos, Limun i Mak Torta
Mnogo volim limun; njegovu kiselost, miris i svjezinu koju daje jelima. Svako jutro, nakon budjenja, popijem casu vode sa malo iscijedjenog limunovog soka. Pomaze mojim migrenama!Volim ga i u slanim jelima, ali deserti sa limunom su mi neodoljivi.

Ukljucite rernu na 170*C, pripremite obruc za tortu (oblozite papirom ili maslacem i brasnom).
Umutite bjelanca sa secerom, ubacite jedno po jedno zumance. Smanjite obrtaje pa dodajte maslac i vrhnje. Iskljucite, zatim ruco umijesajte brasno, kokos i mak. Prebacite u kalup i pecite 45-55 minuta (ili provjerite cackalicom). Ostavite ohladiti, zatim prerezite na 3 dijela.

Stavite zgusnuti limun (odvojite 3-4 K), zumanca, 1/2 solje secera i 80 gr maslaca da prokuha (blago). Umijesajte skrobno brasno u preostali zgusnuti limun i ubacite u vrelu masu. Kuhajte jos minut, zatim smaknite i ostavite hladiti. Umutite 1/2 secera u prahu i 125 gr maslaca dok ne postane kremasto, zatim ubacite ohladjenu kremu i jos mutite. Ovime filujte tortu, ostavljajuci i za vrh.
Umutite slatko vhnje sa secerom u prahu i time dekorirajte tortu. (Kap, dvije zute boje koju spustite niz jednu stranu poslasticarske vrecice, ce dati interesantnu sharu prilikom istiskanja krema).
