Uj'alayi Cake - This is one of the most popular exports of Mandalore. Uj'alayi, or uj cake, is a dense cake made of ground nuts, pureed dried fruit, sweet uj'jayl syrup, and spices. It is a very sweet dessert.
You will need:
Cake:
3 c flour
1 c sugar
3 tsp baking powder
1c pureed banana
1 tsp salt
3 tbs butter
1 c milk
1 egg
1/2 c raisins
1/2 cup walnuts
Syrup:
1 cup water
2 c sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tbs lemon juice
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
I smashed the banana's into a pulp, add a tablespoon of milk to soften it.
Add butter. Add flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and milk.
Mix.
Stir in raisins and walnuts.
Pour into greased cake pan. Bake for 35 minutes until toothpick into center comes out clean.
Let cake cool.
Syrup:
Bring to a boil and boil for 15 minutes.
Remove from heat and add vanilla.
Spoon over cake, serve.
I stored the rest of the syrup in an empty coffee creamer container.
