BICA SINGLE
At home we all love the bica, this cake dense and moist, so typical of some Galician towns of the province of Orense. No intention of trying to emulate the excellent dessert or Castro Caldelas Trives today I come to propose an easy excellent way to develop the bica. What do you think if you call Bica Simple recipe.
SINGLE BICA
4 Eggs
200 gr of butter in a cream or ointment
200 g sugar
200 g cream
400 g of flour
Royal 1 envelope
Preheat oven to 160 º C.
In a bowl mix using the egg beater, sugar and butter in a cream or ointment.
Now add the cream and continue beating. Once built, we add the flour mixed with yeast.
In a baking dish, I used a rectangular 32 x 22 cm, lined with parchment paper, pour the mix and give a knock against the table so that the mass is distributed uniformly.
Before entering the bica in the oven, sprinkle sugar generously over the surface.
Place in the oven and cook to heat up and down in space 40 minutes. We note, before removing from the oven, with the tip of a knife that is perfectly cooked inside and ready to enjoy it.
The ceremony was presided over by master Raúl Valdés Hernández, general coordinator of the UAM Broadcasting, the master Bernardo Ruiz López, director of Publications and Editorial Promotion of this institution, the lawyer David Gutiérrez Fuentes, head of the Section Editorial Production Unit Xochimilco, and Mario Saavedra, director de Fomento Cultural Delegation Miguel Hidalgo.
Maestro José Luis Cuevas apologized for not attending, but sent their congratulations and affection to Professor Avilés Fabila, who explained that he became enamored of fantastic literature by the mythology of Homer, for all those figures who lived in the Iliad and the Odyssey, which captivated him. The fascination exerted on him they led him to write.

In the climax of his exploration of the universe of the fantastic fauna, deep-rooted passion from his early years as a writer. "The book contains stories that I wrote 50 years ago and other writings for two or three months, is just a journey, the return to Ithaca of Ulysses," he said.
The special and the main attraction of the agreement is to propose a pre-Hispanic Mexican mythology, an imaginary zoology might exist in the magical mind of the early American inhabitants, says Avilés Fabila in the first pages of writing.
"I wondered why I have to be writing about the Western mythology, why I have to work on the bestiary that well known? Sirens, Gorgons, sphinxes, as usual. Where is the pre-Hispanic bestiary, where wildlife is imagined by the Mayas, Aztecs or Incas? So I decided to make a pre-Hispanic Mexican bestiary. "
Publication is illustrated by José Luis Cuevas, who has already done for another 16 books from a professor at the UAM, and with foreword by the poet Rubén Bonifaz Nuño.
The ceremony, rather than being a cold formal tribute was a cozy chat with friends, a living space where the writer was fully against fans and colleagues, chatted with a keen and intelligent sense of humor about his personal life and professional policy and literary criticism, even had time to laugh at himself.
"I refused to practice (International Relations), linking me too much power, and power is frankly disgusting, never I have endured and perhaps that's why I became a journalist, it is my way of relaxing, to reclaim the power and the same society that has its faults, "he said.
"I've never read a Mexican critic who speaks well of me, every time I find extraordinary and memorable insults. But fortunately Mexican intellectuals are, as Hegel said, confused for reasons of clarity. "
The writer said that the centenary and bicentenary celebrations have unleashed the fashion of the historical novel, which has filled libraries horrorosísimos texts, because the editors believe that is what sells today.
"At some point appear literary critics professionals, graduates of the classes that can assess the work and every book you wrote. Appear and also other types of readers, I read with different eyes, "he confided.
Master Bernardo López Ruiz said that "writing for 50 years speaks of a passionate profession, a constant act of attention, and ongoing dialogue with intelligence, sensitivity in a tribute to life. Writing, as predicted by Elias Canetti, is always a triumph over death and an immense desire to belong, to write it last, this has been the office of René Avilés.
Master paraphrased Raúl Valdés Rodolfo Hernandez Bucio, "as the great Mexican authors, every day, Avilés Fabila creates a legend in his own life, sometimes they say they are in Xochimilco, at the same time others say they're eating at an exclusive restaurant in Tlalpan, as someone close to him swear they were in a traditional canteen all, I think.
"For my part, I have a fourth, René is with his friends, those with whom you feel comfortable, and we are everywhere with him, in a creative network of complicity which culminate in celebrations like this one very particular."
