What?
The last three times I have come home, I have made cake to take back. This time was no different. We made two cakes - one I like to call Gâteau aux trois chocolats (Three Chocolate Cake) and Date and Walnut Cake.
How did it look?
Both the cakes ended up looking pretty similar, the brown-black colour due to the chocolate in the first cake was imparted by the dates in the second cake, so I am just putting up one pic. In the chocolate cake, I added cocoa powder, Bournvita and a drinking chocolate mixture I had gotten from Germany.
A posteriori
My mom had the idea of pouring some cream and butterscotch syrup on a few cake pieces to make a nice desert. It turned out sufficiently soft and fluffy. Neeta Mehta's recipes rock!
Wow... just wow.

ReplyDeleteThanx for the cakes....they more than exceeded my *high* expectations....:)
ReplyDeleteya cakes shouldn't be microved..i mean you can use microwave but in that use the function "convection" and not "microwave" .
ReplyDeleteYay! And it all starts again. Can't wait for new posts now.
ReplyDeleteSo you want to keep the yummy looking things secret? I thought you would give an elaborate recipe here so that I would try it. :(
