Yes, that was what my colleagues asked me this morning, after they have tasted this Crazy Nuts Cake which I made last night...
A simple soft moist chocolate cake, coated with more chocolate and sprinkled with caramelized hazelnuts and almonds...
The texture looked a bit dense here because the cake was just removed from the fridge and you know how chilled chocolate cake would be. Leave it a bit longer at room temperature for the cake to "fluff out" and the texture will be softer! Anyway, I'm glad everyone loved this ;-)
And while we are talking about cakes, here's my Fruitcake, which is now on Version 3...
... meaning I have revised the recipe 3 times since I first made it! Hmmm.... I think this should be just right now :-) As you can see, the cake is not too heavy on fruits... so you actually eat some CAKE and not just mixed dried fruits! The chopped almonds and walnuts give a nice crunchy bite to it. And those bits of red you see there - those are not the usual sickeningly-sweet glaced cherries... those are cranberries!
I like to cut my Fruitcake into small pieces and nibble on them slowly.... more so to avoid over-pigging-out! It kinda makes sense, right? Smaller pieces, less cake, less calorie-intake... but then, how about MANY MANY small pieces? Yeah, I know... it kinda defeats the purpose too :-P
Oooh. Yummmms...
ReplyDelete.. but if cut into too small pieces can be "dangerous" too leh! - too easy to pop into mouth and eat. lol.
Oh we can always have more CAKE! :D
