Delicious Polish Cake with Cream Delecta Karpatka Cake Mix + Cream 390g/13.75oz'.

Product Information

There are Karpatka baking mixes available in shops in Poland and in Polish stores internationally, but nothing beats the real deal.

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla, and add the flours, a tablespoon or so at a time, until combined. Whisk in the remaining cup of milk. The origins of the desert are unclear; it most likely emerged at the turn of the 1950s and 1960s, but its popularity only became widespread in the 1970s and 1980s. [3] The official name "karpatka" was first coined or recorded in 1972 by a group of philology students. [3] [4] Traditionally, one large slice of the pie was served with coffee or tea. As the story goes, Karpatka was named after the Carpathian Mountains (in Polish: Karpaty). And you can see why – the pastry is shaped like a mountain landscape viewed from above. Do you need any special ingredients or equipment to make Karpatka? Using a spoon, spread the dough onto the parchment paper. It doesn't have to be smooth. Make it look like a rugged mountain.But you can freeze baked choux pastry layers on their own. As soon as they’re baked and chilled, wrap them in foil and place in the freezer. Remember to label them well, so that you know what it is and when it was frozen. Aim to use these up within 2-3 months. Divide the dough into two parts. Spread each of them in a thin layer on a 25 x 35 cm baking tray, greased and sprinkled with flour. Grab the remaining cup of cold milk (250 ml) and add an egg, 4 yolks, potato starch and regular all-purpose flour.

Karpatka is meat-free, but it does include dairy and eggs (it’s suitable for lacto-ovo vegetarians). How to store Karpatka?

Place one layer of baked choux pastry onto a serving plate. Alternatively, keep it in the cake tin that we have used for baking. Bake at 390°F (200ºC) for 25-30 minutes, until the cake turns lightly golden. Do not open the oven while it bakes! Boil water and fat, add the contents of the bag with cake mix. Heat over low heat (about 1 minute), rubbing the mixture vigorously. Let it cool down.
