I decided to make two cakes one from before the start of the Heavenly Cake Bakers, the "Banana Refrigerator Cake with Dreamy Creamy White Chocolate Frosting", and one that I missed in the beginning, "Barcelona Brownie Bars. " I also missed the Hungarian Jansci Torta but I figured I would save that for Passover.
Cake one - The Banana Cake:
Mis en place:
The white chocolate frosting is just not the right to make in the blender. A
blender needs a least a little a little liquid to get things moving. I added an extra tsp of almond extract out of frustration. It got things moving but the taste, while still edible, was not ideal. Next time I am just going to use the hand mixer!
Sifting. Grrr.
The cake itself was absolutely delicious!
Cake two - Barcelona Brownie Bars:
Mis en place:
Notice that someone tried to sneak some chocolate...
Toasty pecans...
I ran out of baker's Pam and I'll have to prepare my pans the old fashioned way until after Passover.
My "double boiler" :)
Er.. "sift" the flour in...
:P
(That's my Bronx Cheer in case you didn't know...)
All ready to go in to the toaster.
Got out my, uh, "piping" tube...
:P
(It's just us here right...)
The "plugs" sank a little. In the background you can see my lemon poppy seed cake. (More on that next week.)
Aside from the fact that I do not think I have ever had dairy brownies before, these are hands down the best brownies that I have ever had!
:P (Now I'm just likin' my lips.)
