The story behind this recipe
I've been thinking about trying to make a Lenten alivancă for a long time, just to see if I could make something edible. And it worked out! For a tray that yields about 12 servings (30/40 tray size), you need: 1 cup cornmeal, 1 cup semolina, 2 cups wheat flour, 3 cups soy milk, about 200 ml sunflower oil, 200 g sugar, 1 sachet of baking powder, a good handful of raisins, 2 oranges, 2 g fine salt, and powdered sugar, vegan yogurt, and a tart jam for serving. Mix the semolina, cornmeal, 1 cup of milk, orange juice, and oil in a bowl. Blend them well and let it hydrate for about 30 minutes. Add the wheat flour, baking powder, and sugar to the mixture. Let it sit for another 5-10 minutes. Finally, add the raisins, salt, and the orange zest from both oranges. Pour the mixture into a tray lined with parchment paper, and bake in a preheated oven for 25 minutes at 185 degrees with the fan on. Immediately after taking the alivancă out of the oven, pour the remaining 2 cups of milk over it, and leave it covered for at least 20 minutes before serving.
