Party Cake

Cake     Country and folk doesn't mean only music. It's also clothing and cooking. Yes, you read it right. Cooking. Oh, don't switch off. It doesn't mean, that now I will write only about cooking. Please, excuse me.
     Ok, keep your caps, we start. And what will we cook? What do you say something sweet: Cake is perfect choice. I like to cook cake. It doesn't mean I like to eat that. No, I like to cook it. And it isn't bad, just vice-versa, it's tasty.
     Right, right. I'm going to start.

Nut cake (for Richard's birthday in this year) :

Ingredients:

  • 4 eggs white
  • 20 decagrams sugar
  • 20 decagrams assorted flour
  • ½ baking powder
  • 1 spoon of hot water
  • 1 vanilla sugar
  • snow from eggs white
  • salt
  • 2 spoons cocoa (I use it, but it isn't necessary)


Procedure:
     Mix eggs white with sugar, add hot water. All substance will be puffy. I use mixer and during mix I prepare other ingredients – flour (I prefer 10 decagramme of smooth flour and 10 decagram wholemeal), add baking.powder and cocoa.
     I mix it separate and than I add it to eggs white with sugar. Don't forget it. In the end, mix cold eggs white with a bit salt and add to other ingredients. My advice: Use so many spoons of cold water like many eggs white.
     I bake it on 180 degree of Celsius 45 minutes.

Stuffing cake (it's your decision – I prepared nut stuff.)


Ingredients:
  • 12 decagrams of nuts
  • 10 decagrams powdery sugar
  • 1 deciliter of hot milk
  • 1 spoon of rum
  • 1 vanilla sugar
  • 18 decagrams of butter


Procedure: Cake

     Grind nuts with sugar, add hot milk and vanilla sugar, mix together. If you'll prepare it for adults, use rum(only few spoons). In this case, forget milk. Or brandy, whisky or other alcohol drink. It will be stronger. :o))
     I prepared it for children, that's why I leave alcohol and .I used more milk. In the end add butter and mix and mix and mix.

     I hope I don't need to explain how to put this stuff in the cake. Ok, OK, I explain it. Cut the cake on horisoltal line. Put the stuff on the cake and decorate it by nut and chocolate.

     And voilá, cake is in the world. And it's delicious, believe me.
