 |  Another Cake Thread - Aw Yeah
So I don't create the professional-looking works of Old Soul, but this was made with love for my fiance's birthday and he loved it. I am exceedingly proud of my creation! It's a White Elephant Cake made with a whipped white chocolate ganache, topped with toasted coconut and raspberries.  Notice the ever sexy "Bag Balm" the table. Don't ask if you don't want to know.  With candles, no flash. I just thought this was pretty. The texture was sort of like a pound cake and was just right for a light frosting. Thought I'd share! |

Nooo! No Bag Balm in the cake! That's for the infamous bad case of cycling nipple! For the cake: 3 1/2 cups flour 5 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 16 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened 2 cups sugar 4 eggs 1/3 cup canned coconut milk 2 teaspoons vanilla extract For the buttercream frosting 2 cups sugar 6 egg whites 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar A pinch of salt 1 1/4 pounds unsalted butter, at room temperature 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Bake cake 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl; set aside. Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar until the mixture is light yellow. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the coconut milk and the flour mixture alternately, ending with the flour mixture, and continuing to beat well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla. 2. Divide the batter evenly among 2 lightly buttered and floured 9-inch round pans. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean. Cool in the pan, then invert onto cooling racks. For the icing: Scald 3/4 a cup heavy cream. Remove from heat. Add 8 oz good quality white chocolate and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth. Pour into bowl and let set overnight. Then whip up with 1 3/4 cups heavy cream until stiff. Cover cooled cake! Easy! |

^^^ LMAO ^^^ That cake looks delicious, Maeve. I'm familiar with Bag Balm, by the way. My dad used to use it for excema or psoriasis or whatever it was that was drying up the skin on his hands. For those who don't know, it was originally created to keep cow udders from getting infected. They probably sell more of it for human use than bovine, though. |

 It's from...(nerdish snort)...the computer game Portal, released this October. In the game, you continually come across blood-written messages: The cake is a lie The cake is a lie The cake is a lie The cake is a lie Perhaps this song will explain everything: YouTube - Portal Ending Credits Song | |
