It’s mum’s birthday tomorrow and I’m baking the birthday cake!
And I decided to put what I’ve learned in my cake baking quest to the test!
I’m making a Germans chocolate cake but using my own recipe calculations!
I used to make Aliyyah Baylors cake recipe and Bobby Flays cajeta recipe sans the goat milk.
It took ages and usually the cake batter would be too thin and the cajeta took hours to get to a thick filling consistency. The results were great, don’t get me wrong, and everyone loved it, but I needed to make it simpler.
So I used the base cake recipe I used before with a few modifications for quantity & to account for the amount of cocoa I was putting in.
For the filling I just made Dulce De Leche in a can and mixed it with brown sugar and coconut milk. It took all in all about 40 min.
The cakes are out of the oven and look chocolaty and nice 🙂 the batter tasted great but I have no idea how moist the final product is…more on that when we actually eat it tomorrow.
Will get cracking on finishing the pecan caramel coconut filling…This I’m where I’m at…
Still missing the pecans and a bit more caramel…
Keeping my fingers crossed that my experiment works in the end!
More updates tomorrow and if it’s a success the recipe will follow !
Wish me luck:-)
Cheers!
