Jezersko is located in the remote Kokra valley in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps (a mountain range of the Southern Limestone Alps). It was named after a big glacial lake that started to disappear after an earthquake in 1348. Today you can admire lake Planšarsko jezero, a little heart-shaped lake, which was made by local inhabitants in memory of that larger glacial lake that had drained away.  There is plenty to do in the region, like skating on the frozen lake in winter, or boating in summer; hiking, cross-country skiing, mountain climbing, horseback riding, cycling etc. You can quench your thirst with Magnesium-rich water ("Jezerska slatina"), enjoy your view at the Čedca waterfall and the Ankovo waterfalls, or visit the travertine quarry and plenty more. I love coming here several times in the year.

Pumpkin Nutella Bundt Cake (Or Muffins) / Bučkin šarkelj z nutello



For a long time I wanted to try a pumpkin dessert so I finally decided to do one myself. While browsing the net this recipe caught my intention :) You can either make a bundt cake, a loaf or muffins :) I decided to do the bundt cake, but no doubt the muffins would also be delicious.. The pumpkin adds moist and flavour to the cake. I loved it! I will definitely do more pumpkin desserts in the future..





Ingredients

     1 cup {canned} pumpkin puree
         1/2 cup granulated sugar
        3/4 cup brown sugar
      2 eggs
     1/2 cup canola oil {or melted butter, cooled}
       1/3 cup water
        1 teaspoon vanilla
      1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
       1 teaspoon baking soda
       1/2 teaspoon salt
     3 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice {optional}


      1/3 cup Nutella
Instructions
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 
  • In a mixing bowl, blend together the pumpkin, sugar, eggs, oil, water, and vanilla until combined. In another bowl, mix together the dry ingredients - flour, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Slowly add dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until smooth {make sure not to overmix}. Pour batter into the baking cups, until approximately 2/3 full.
  • Put the Nutella into a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 20-30 seconds or until it thins out just enough to swirl. Using a spoon, drop a small spoonful or two of Nutella onto the top of each muffin or onto a bundt cake/ loaf and swirl using the tip of a knife.

  • Bake the muffins for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If making the bundt cake increase baking time to about 45-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. 

Notes
  • You can also add Nutella to the center of the muffins instead of swirling on top. To do this, simply start with a layer of the pumpkin batter, followed by a dollop of Nutella. Then top with more pumpkin batter until 2/3 full.
  • Bon appétit.

The photos below present Piran - one of the towns in Slovenian Istra (a region in southwest of Slovenia).

Piran is situated at the tip of Piran peninsula on the Gulf of Piran. I took these photos not long ago on a sunny autumn day. The town has much medieval architecture, with narrow streets and compact houses. It was heavily influenced by the Venetian Republic, as seen on its architecture. The Piran town walls were constructed to protect the town from Ottoman incursions, many parts of the town walls from different eras remain. In the middle of the town is the Tartini Square, with a monument in memory of Guiseppe Tartini. On the hill above the town rises the Church of Saint George. From its lookout tower you have a wonderful view of Piran and its surroundings and all the way across the sea to the Croatian and Italian Coast.

Bučkin šarkelj z nutello


Sestavine

1 skodelica = volumen 250 ml

1 skodelica bučkinega pireja
1/2 skodelice sladkorja
3/4 skodelice rjavega sladkorja
2 jajci
1/2 skodelice olja ali masla (stopljenega in ohlajenega)
1/3 skodelice vode
1 žlička vanilije
1 3/4 moke
1 žlička sode bikarbone
1/2 žličke soli
3 žličke mešanice začimb (cimet, ingver, muškatni orešček)
1/3 skodelice Nutelle

Priprava:

Pečico predhodno ogrej na 180 °C. 
V prvi skledi zmešaj bučkin pire, sladkor, jajca, olje, vodo in vanilijo.
V drugi skledi zmešaj suhe sestavine- moko, sodo bikarbono, sol in mešanico začimb.
Tekoče sestavine dodaj k suhim sestavinam ter jih z žlico zmešaj v gladko zmes, vendar ne mešaj predolgo. Zmes vlij v pripravljen pekač.

Nutello stopi v mikrovalovni pečici (20-30 sekund) ali nad toplo kopeljo. Z žlico jo vmešaj v že pripravljeno zmes.

Šarkelj peci cca. 45-60 minut oziroma da je palčka ali nož, ki jo/ga zapičiš v testo razmeroma suh/-a (bučka testo naredi bolj vlažno, tako ne bo popolnoma suho). Mafine peci 18-22 minut.

Bučkin pire

Bučo olupimo, odstranimo semena in jo narežemo na majhne kose. Te stresemo v vrelo vodo ter jih kuhamo toliko časa, da se zmehčajo. Odcedimo, nekoliko ohladimo ter jih pretlačimo.
