Hello, my dear readers!

Today’s recipe speaks many languages. It is part of a universal language that connects people, cultures, and generations.This recipe has been passed down through decades—from my grandmother to my mum, then to me, and now to you. It comes from a very sweet corner of the world: Eastern Europe.

So, let’s start with the first question—what is serpica? It means saucepan or cooking pot.

 Yes, my grandmother used to make this torte in a saucepan—the same one used for soup and cabbage rolls.

Instructions for Making Saucepan Chocolate Torte

Prepare the pan

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Spray with baking spray and set aside.
  2. Make the cake batter
    1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, add eggs and sugar. Using the whisk attachment, mix on high speed until the sugar is fully incorporated (about 6 minutes).
    2. Add water, sifted flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Mix on low speed until all ingredients are evenly combined.

Bake the cake

  1. Pour the chocolate cake batter into the prepared pan.
  2. Bake at 360°F for about 17 minutes.
  3. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
  4. Cut the cake layers
    1. Using a 6-inch cake cutter, cut the cake into four round layers. (if you want smaller size, use cookie cutters)
  1. Prepare the chocolate filling while cake is baking.
    1. In a large bowl or saucepan, combine milk, sugar, unsalted butter, and chocolate.
    2. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth.
    3. Important: Stir continuously to prevent burning of chocolate
    4. Remove from heat and stir in the ground walnuts.
    5. The filling will be thin; this is expected. Set aside.

Assembling the Chocolate Torte (Serpica Torta)

I assembled the cake using a saucepan, but you can also use a cake pan with cake collars or any pan that works best for you.

  1. Line the saucepan with plastic wrap.
  2. Place the first cake layer on the bottom.
  3. Cover with about 1½ cups of chocolate filling.
  4. Add the second cake layer and cover again with chocolate filling.
  5. Add the third cake layer and spread the remaining chocolate filling.
  6. Top with the fourth cake layer. Do not add filling on top.

Cover the entire cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.

Chocolate Icing

Using a double boiler, melt the dark chocolate and heavy cream together until smooth.

Remove the cake from the fridge and unmold it from the saucepan. Cover the cake with the chocolate icing (or Nutella icing, if using).

Nutella Ganache

  1. In a medium bowl or measuring cup, add the Nutella, chopped chocolate, and butter. Set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and corn syrup. Heat until it just begins to simmer.
  3. Remove from heat and pour the hot cream mixture over the Nutella, chocolate, and butter.
  4. Cover with aluminum foil and let sit for 5 minutes.
  5. After 5 minutes, whisk until smooth.

Decoration and Serving

  • Decorate as desired.
  • Transfer to the fridge for 1 hour.
  • When ready to serve, remove the cake from the fridge and cut to your preferred size.

Enjoy your chocolate piece.

Serve with additional melted chocolate and heavy cream.

Quick Notes

    2 eggs

    Sugar Syrup

    1 3/4 cup water

    2 lemons, (sliced if using)

    1 1/2 cup sugar

    Oil for frying ( 3 cups)

    Instructions for making Tulumbe

    The first step is to prepare the sugar syrup. 

    Add sugar and water to the medium sauce pan and bring to boil.

    When syrup boil,  keep boiling for 6 to 8 minutes or until slightly thickened.

    Add lemon slices if using it.

    Remove from heat and cool down completely.

    You can make this a day ahead and keep in the fridge.

    Making Tulumbe Dough

    Add water, salt, sugar and oil to the medium saucepan.

    Heat until the mixture boils.

    ​Remove the saucepan from the heat and add all flour.

    Stir vigorously until the flour is incorporated.

    Return the mixture to the stove and cook STIRRING CONSTANTLY FOR ABOUT 1 MINUTE (or 30 to 60 seconds).

    This is fast. 

    IMPORTANT: Be sure the flour is fully incorporated!

    Remove from the heat, cover with plastic wrap and let it cool. (about 1 hour)

    When the mixture is cooled, transfer to a bowl of a stand mixer and then add first egg. (see images below)

    Mix well until the egg is incorporated.

    ​After that stop the mixing and scrape down the sides of the bowl.

    Then add second egg and mix until the mixture is yellow, smooth and shiny.

    The dough should be thick.

    Ready to Make Tulumbe

    Your next step is to fill your Tulumbe/churro maker or pastry bag with star nozzle with the smooth dough.

    Pour 3 to 4 cups oil into large frying pan or medium size sauce pan. (do not turn heat on)

    Pipe the dough directly into oil about 2 inches long and cut with knife of your fingers.

    Be sure there is spaces between tulumbas. (be sure it is not crammed)

    When the pan is filled with tulumba, turn the heat to the medium high. (for me it is 5 to 6)

    ​Wait for tulumba to float before you start turning them.

    Fry until deep golden.

    For me stove it took 21 minutes.

    17 minutes on medium heat and then last 4 minutes on medium high heat (7 to 8)

    Remove from the heat and add them directly into cold sugar syrup.

    Let them sit in sugar syrup for a few minutes, turning tulumbe every once on while to coat.

    Then transfer to a clean dish, (I used 9 by 9 glass pan)

    ​To make next batch you will need to completely cool the frying oil.

    When the oil is cooled repeat the steps above.

    Serve tulumbe cold.

    Enjoy and share the best Balkan dessert or Authentic Tulumbe Recipe.

    IMPORTANT: Tulumbe must be added to cold oil, NOT HOT OIL

    From this recipe you will make about 15 pieces of sweet tulumba.

    Instructions for Gordon Ramsay Carrot Cake

    Preheat oven to 350 F.

    Line one cake pan with parchment paper. (I used 9 inch round cake pan). Set aside.

    Bowl 1 – Dry ingredients

    Add dry ingredients to the bowl: all purpose flour, white sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.

    Prep carrots and raisins

    Cover raisins with rum. Set aside.

    Grate carrots.

    Mixing Bowl (using paddle attachment)

    Add the wet ingredients to the mixing bowl: oil, white sugar and brown sugar.

    Beat together until smooth and then add eggs, one at time. Mix well after each addition.

    Stir in pure vanilla extract.

    Your next step is to add the finely grated carrots, raisins with rum and mix until all ingredients are incorporated.

    Then add all dry ingredients and mix on low speed until no streaks of flour remain. (this is just for a minute)

    Pour the best carrot cake into prepared cake pan.

    Bake at 350 F until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. (for my oven it was 30 minutes)

    Remove from the oven and let it cool.

    ​Meanwhile prepare the best fluffy cream cheese frosting

    How to make fluffy cream cheese frosting

    In a large bowl add cream cheese, milk and vanilla. Mix until smooth.

    Then gradually beat in icing sugar until you get the frosting for the carrot cake spreadable.
