To make the best out of the holiday, I was experimenting around with a new cake recipe and...
...

Well,

:?

let's put it this way, it was experimental and it did not turn out as I thought. :P

Since the cake is (was destined to be, more later) topped with a cherry jelly cover, i thought naming it "Red hot ridin' hood cake", after the old Tex Avery Cartoon:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8039477657790445932



The ingredients were the usual bag of goodies, plus cherries and a jelly icing:


First, I made a dough from flour, margarine, eggs, sugar and baking powder:






Half of the dough was spread in a spring form, the other half was enriched with two tablespoons of Nutella and added on top:





Now drain the cherries and add them on top (keep ze juice):




Off in the oven with it (30 minutes at 180 degrees celsius):




First OOPSy: dough rose too much:(


Let it cool down for 60-90 minutes minimum.


As the dough got too high, I had to make a second ring from baking paper around the cake to keep the toppings in place:


prepare the topping from curd, whipped cream and vanilla sugar, then spread it on the cake and let it chill for 1-2 hours:







When the cake is chilled, prepare the jelly glaze:


OOOPSy No.2: phonecalls while making the jelly should be avoided, as it cools down really fast and can't be spread evenly :(



Well, one could call it the "Mikhail Gorbatchev of jelly toppings" ;)

Let it rest chilled over night.
Next morning (aka today):





But the cake is really tasty if you don't mind the looks:

Enjoy!

Greetings from Bonn,

Christian

Grüsse nach Bonn aus dem Fernen Osten,
from a German expat, now 6 years over here. With not that much possibilities to use German my native language actually gets kinda rusty. How comes you write Chinese? The wonders of Babelfish(*) or is there more behind?

Cheers,

Markus

Hi Christian,

It was just my work that brought me here.

c'ya (either here or at WUS)
