Dinner Party “Pollo is Back” Full Menu

I just came back home in Italy to spend some quality time with friends and family. Since while I was gone, my best friends missed some important moments of my life, such as my Birthday, my recent graduation and the birth of this blog, it is time to catch up with celebrations. A dinner party is definitely the best way to do it!

The menu for the Dinner Party includes:

Starter: Spinach Pudding with a fondue of Gorgonzola and Straw Potatoes flavored with Curcuma

First course: Rice Timbale with double Ragù

Second Course: Honey and Mustard Glazed Sausages with carrot puree (for this recipe search in this blog)

Dessert: Plum Tart

Vanilla Yoghurt Plum Cake with Chocolate Chips

I personally ate the last bit of the Ricotta and Chocolate Cheesecake so I felt like I had to fill the void by making a new cake.

For this treat you’ll need:

·  40g of Margarine

·  280g of self-raising flour

·  80ml of Vegetable oil

·  Half a teaspoon of salt

·  2 eggs

·  400ml of Vanilla yoghurt (I have used Vanilla and Chocolate yoghurt)

·  130gr of powder sugar

How to make it:

Mix the sugar, yoghurt, oil, eggs, salt and the melted margarine in a bowl with a whisk. Gradually add the flour until you have a very sticky dough.

Now, technically you are supposed to let the dough sit for 1 hour and a half in the oven at 50°C so that the dough get thicker and less sticky. I did it for 1 hour and then I baked the cake for 40 minutes at 200°C and it’s delicious.
