Turkish Crying Cake Recipe
It's actually a sweet crying cake that doesn't need to be talked about too much. I think there are very few people who haven't tasted it before. Those who haven't heard of it or haven't eaten it will definitely try this recipe anyway.
How to Decorate a Turkish Crying Cake?
You can use ground dried nuts such as pistachios, hazelnuts and almonds that you think will go well with the crying slices of cake after pouring the sauce. You can also decorate it using coconut, coarsely chopped hazelnuts or walnuts.
What Can I Use Instead Of Whipped Cream In A Crying Cake?
There is a ready-made food in the recipe that I don't use very often. Whipped cream. Actually, I wouldn't use it in this recipe, but I didn't want to spoil the originality of the recipe. If you do not like to use whipped cream, you can make homemade whipped cream by whisking a pack of cream and 1 cup of powdered sugar until it thickens.
