This is a typical Umbrian Christmas cake …. A whack of calories, and thanks God Christmas comes once a year! Today went to cook it with my mother to enjoy the joy of the transfer of traditions!
Ingredients:
1 kg. of sugar
400 gr. pine nuts
1 glass of water
1 small bag of vanilla
5 tablespoons of unsweetened chocolate powder and a chocolate cube for grating
few tablespoons of flour
1 slab of marble (!)
Place the sugar and vanilla in a large pot with a glass of water and bring to a boil Wet pine nuts in hot water and then pass them in the flour, sifting through the excess flour and add them to the boiling sugar. Cook for 20 minutes, stirring to prevent sticking. Sprinkle the marble slab (and if you do not have it you can not do …) with sugar and flour. Remove from heat and divide the mixture into two pots: in one add the chocolate powder and the grated cube. Pour the mixture on the marble and sprad it about 4-5cm. Let cool and then cut into cubes.
