I present to you this famous and incredible whole wheat 80 golpes cake recipe. Because each recipe you love can be transformed and obtain magnificent results, even though it is whole grain. With an equally delicious taste, this cake has nothing to envy the traditional one. Cheer up!

Of German origin, called Achtzig Schlag (80 golpes cake) known for being one of the few cakes that are prepared with yeast and not with baking powder. With a taste similar to the so-called “facturas” by Argentines and known for the versatility of the recipe. Being able to use different ingredients for its filling and preparation.

I must admit that I am amazed, it is the first time I have prepared such a whole grain recipe like this and the results seemed extraordinary to me. A flavor, an incredible texture, it is a really exquisite cake! In addition, if you are not mentioned that it is prepared with whole wheat ingredients, you will not notice!

It is a fantastic idea to share mates, coffee, tea or whatever you like! In addition, it can also be a dessert after lunch or dinner. A cake that has the right amount of sugar, neither too little nor too much (if you like them very sweet you should increase the amount of sugar, see notes).

Let’s talk a little about the preparation:

Unlike other cakes, this preparation contains yeast. This means that this recipe has necessary leavened times to obtain the final result. Its preparation is not complicated in itself, but it is not a recipe that is made quickly and at the moment.

Its famous name refers to a step in the preparation. In which it consists of hitting the dough against the table 80 times in a row without stopping. Without a doubt, this recipe is good to relieve tension and stress when you have had a bad day!

At present there are wonderful kneading machines. Which means this recipe can be made faster and effortlessly. You just have to place all the ingredients and turn on. In this way you not only save steps, but also heavy work.

The dough in this recipe is commonly made with butter. Although there are people who make them with beef fat or margarine. In preference it would not replace it because it does not taste the same way. Just like croissants when replaced by margarine. Decide this according to your own taste and choice.

This cake may or may not have different fillings. Among which could be sweet potato paste, quince paste, milk caramel, chocolate chips, walnuts, almonds, raisins, etc. Or simply add soft butter and sugar. This is up to you whether or not you like to fill with other ingredients.

To make the dough rolls, you can choose two ways: stretch the entire dough into a rectangular shape with a thickness of 5 mm, fill it, form a roll, cut the portions and place it in the mold. The second would be to divide the dough into equal parts (as many parts as you want), individually roll out into a 5 mm rectangular shape, fill, and then place in the mold.

It is advisable for an easier removal from the mold because it sticks a lot, place parchment paper in the bottom of the mold and spread with butter. Also, I recommend using a removable cake mold. This way, it would be easier to remove the cake once ready. It works with any mold, but try to make it tall.

Finally, for a showy finish, brush the cake as soon as it is removed from the oven with some sweet (peach or apricot jam). When the jelly is thick, one solution is to place some in a pot, add a little water and boil. Stirring constantly until the desired consistency is achieved.

The size of this whole wheat cake is large, ideal to share with the family. If you don’t want to prepare that much quantity, or you don’t feel like it because it’s your first time, you can reduce the amount of the ingredients in half and make a small one. Let nothing stop you from enjoying this 80 golpes cake with whole wheat flour!
