Purgatory Cake

Postby hive_king » Wed Nov 22, 2006 11:14 pm

Well, as some of you might know, I recently announced that my sister and I were going to attempt a mixture of angel's food cake and devil's food cake- or, as we called it, "purgatory cake". Well, tonight we gathered up our ingredients and decided to attempt this study in awesomeness.
Image
Well, the operation was a complete success, and we now have purgatory in cake (and cupcake) form. Due to my sister's brilliant culinary skillz,(which vastly outreach mine), we reached heights of cakey goodness hithero unsurpassed.
Image
Image

It came suprisngly spongy in both the angel and devil parts (we marbled it). It was very rich and fluffy at the same time, perhaps paying homage to its dual natures. We used the leftover batter to make cupcakes, which we nicknamed "fallen angels". Image

All in all, it was awesome, and the cake promises to be the most delicious thing at thanksgiving dinner tomorrow, especially knowing my dear sweet mother's cooking. And yes John, you are invited.

(nick's sister, elle) Yes, that's right! Nick actually cooked! (By that I mean he stirred, put stuff in the oven and, licked the spoons) He also reached new heights in understanding the physics of cake density and marbling.

It's copyrighted. You owe me a nickle for every cupcake, and a dollar for every cake.

I stand by HK's stance, because as his legal representative, i get 40% of any money that he collects from the copyright.

Store bought frosting... Silly boy.

And it looks like you're making Chelsea (sp) look happy. She kinda looks scared.

Nice cake though.

Eh, I think this falls under "fair use," not that it means much in this day in age. But wouldn't she only owe you money if she makes a profit on them? which im sure they didnt, due to the fact that they ate all their products....

PS

Do you think you could serve this at future pweb cons? Good incentive to make it.

Legal actions aside, I thought (somehow) you made a large multi-layered cake, each layer somehow representing a layer of hell based on Dante's Inferno, but that was only based on the title of the thread. Then when I clicked on the title, I thought "No, that's just silly. STFU, Micah."

I shudder to think what the layer of adulterers might be made of.

Dante's Inferno annoys me. As does any reference to a woman as an angel.

I finally managed to have time in the kitchen without anyone to distract me. Other than His Highness, Xavier Fluffypants I.

I'm never alone. Never. *sob*

Anyway. I attempted a Purgatory Cake and had leftover batter so I made cupcakes, too. I didn't use boxes of mix, though, because I was too lazy to go to the store. Instead I found recipes in one of my mom's old cookbooks. Blue Ribbon winners, apparently.

It all turned out okay. Don't get me wrong, it's yummy... It's just that... There was a bit of a crisis 5 minutes into baking, in regards to the cupcakes. I kinda forgot that we were at 5000 ft and didn't adjust my recipes. Too much baking soda. The cupcakes... Well, if we'd left them another couple of minutes, would've looked like a cake from the top, and be cupcakes underneath. All in all, they're really spongy. I think if I wanted to go into a sugar coma I'd make some chocolate mousse and pipe it into the cupcakes. But, since I don't, I'm not gonna.

And, Nick, I'm not payin' the fee. :P
