I started out wanting to make salted eggs (i've made some a month ago, they turned out great!!! Thanks for sharing the recipe Lily!!) but cos my fridge was too cold, the eggs froze (?!!!) so i had to do something else with them....decided to make a pre-packaged milk chocolate cake. Simple enough right...but i added nutella..thinking that it will impart a lovely hazelnut flavour...
Well...cos nutella is mainly oil....so the cake took longer than usual to bake and cos i was too lazy to line the pan with baking paper, it stuck onto the pan and wasn't too pretty...
So...i then decided to make a tiramisu...but i didn't have mascarpone...but heard that cream cheese plus sour cream and icing sugar would make a good subsitute...so i whipped up some cream cheeese, sour cream, added two egg yolks for creamy effect, two forthed-up eggwhites for volume, vanilla essence for flavour and gelatine so that everything would hold together....layered this with the coffee/rum soaked cake onto a glass dish....and left it to set in the fridge overnight...
There wasn't really enough of the cheese mixture...so the top was quite bare and brown...thus the addition of chopped strawberries and shaved chocolate...
what a cooking misadventure...!!
tastewise? Ok i think....Moa liked it....but there was no comments from the rest of the party...haha...actually i quite enjoyed it too...mainly cos of the alcohol...would have been nicer if there were some cherries in the layers too...maybe next time!! hee...
