April 10, 2004cocolatin the midst of a couple of weeks of utter franticness, i'm currently baking a cake to take to the familial gathering tomorrow, which is taking place directly after band practice. nothing too overtly special about this, right? i'd be inclined to agree, were it not for the fact that i believe this cake has quite possibly made it completely impossible for me to ever think about making a normal old chocolate cake the same way again. sure, it's got butter, and sugar, and eggs, and salt, and baking powder, and cake flour, and vanilla...and, of course cocoa. copious amounts of cocoa. but what does it have that you might not have been expecting? EARL GREY TEA. it's to be an earl grey chocolate mousse cake, and if the cake tastes anything like as good as the batter did (which, er, it had better), i fear it may have ruined me on normal chocokeeki for good. and think about it. it is the ultimate geek cake. seriously. XDXDXD more to follow later, quite possibly with photos. Comments
higuys!What yourblog powered by? Posted by: aarst at May 10, 2007 06:55 PM*^^* ahahaha. yes, i figured my resident fellow tea-and-choco-h0s would be all over this about as much as i was. XD i wish i didn't live so far away from all of you. we've got a little less than half of the keeki left, and it turned out so tall that it's more like a top-hat than a cake, so every slice is more like two. i fed the family AND the band AND my guitarist's father and sister yesterday and still ended up with somewhere between a third and a half of the cake left over. o.o;;; alas, however...didn't take photos when it was whole. XD frosting job with the earl grey choco mousse was not as pretty as i hoped. maybe i'll take photos of what's left so you can see how tall it is, though. seriously, it rose waaaaay out of hand, and i didn't use my cake leveller on it as perhaps i should've.
