that one, you know..

So. Today we have been baking "that one, you know....". Seriously, that's what it's called ô_O now you can be perveted and think wrong, or be very confused. Most people gets confused when you tell them that you are baking "that one, you know". Including me (Gwan), when thi-chan first told me what we were going to bake. She must have laughed a whole lot, like I did too when we told it to my sister.
Anywho, it somehow should've looked like this:

a very simple square cake that reminds me a whole lot of a chocolate version of a danish cake called "dream cake". It didn't contain chocolate untill we made our own version ;3 just a simple simple cake with some nasty stuff on top of it.

BUT!

That was only untill WE decided to make it, and of course we weren't satisfied with something that simple and easygoing :b So therefore, we decided to make it a chocolate-lemon-layered cake instead:

What we did, was that we baked it in two smaller red forms, the one a little smaller than the other. Just the normal cake there, nothing extra. Then we wanted to put some chocolate in it. So we made some chocolate ganaché (to make that, you take ½ ltr. of non-whipped whipped-cream and 200 g. dark chocolate and melt it in a pot. Then you put it in the fridge to make it cool of and stiffen. From there, you can either just use it as glazing on top of your cake, which tastes like god and make a smooth beautiful surface. Or you can do as we did, whip it up after it has been stiffened, so it becomes like a hard whip-cream. But beware, it takes lots of hours to cool of! we puttet it in the freezer for 3-4 hours). And because we still thought it was boring and kind of heavy, we put lemon juice of half a lemon in the ganaché. It tastes awesome, I tell you. I am personally a sucker for lemon-chocolate :b A shame that it costs so much here in Denmark to buy...
Anygay, then we put on the ganaché on the biggest cake (the bottom - and there were a lot of ganaché!), and on with the smaller cake (the top, if anyone is wondering). We then made the glazing, which contains coconut, butter, sugar and coco. We decided to rake the shell of our half lemon and put that in too, to make a fresh taste. Then it cooled for some time, until it was ferm enough to put on, without it just dripping off the sides. And on with it!
Here is the done result:

ingredients:

for the actual cake:

• 500 g sugar
• 4 eggs
• 4 dl milk
• 450 g flour
• 4 tea spoons of vanilla-sugar
• 3 table spoons of raw coco
• 4 tea spoons of baking powder
• 300 g butter (melted)

for the ganaché:

• 200 g. dark chocolate
• ½ ltr non-whipped whipcream (?)
• the juice of half a lemon

for the glazing (just melt everything together in a pot):

• 200 g butter (melted)
• 7 table spoons of done coffee
• 2½ table spoons of raw coco
• 3 tea spoons of vanilla sugar
• 100 g coconut flour
• 375 g crushed sugar (I do not know the english word for it)

To the taste and response of the cake:

It was fan-fucking-tastic. I brought it up to a lot of friends to make them happy and jolly, and to make them out judges and try-out animals. They loved it. seriously, when I tasted the cake myself, I was all like "omg, we ARE good! the chocolate in the middle with lemon goes perfect with the original cake, and you can't eat very much of it 'cause of the heavy-ness, so there will be enough for everybody! WE RULE!". People agreed. Thi-chan is first going to have a taste tomorrow with the piece I saved for her. She'll love it too.

Also, we got a deal with the roleplaying-club (that's where I took it to), that they will finance it with a symbol amount of money every week :3 I got 115 dkr today, so there will be enough to buy us ingediens for next week <3 We are going to make cupcakes.
have fun, until next time ~
