MANBABY’S CAKE 👶🍰

People talk about “love languages”? When my son wants to bond with me and hang out and spend time, he asks if we can cook a cake together ...and this is his absolute favourite. It actually is pretty good and keeps well but the big drawback for me has always been that it uses 5 egg whites and then I’m left with these yolks. Hence see the SEMOLINA GNOCCHI recipe.    Want more food tips?

Slowly add the milk and vanilla.Combine all dry ingredients by running them through a sieve.Resift if you're feeling motivated, then add to the wet mixture. Meanwhile, beat the egg whites until stiff.   Mix half the egg white mixture into the cake mix, trying to add air, not smash air out – then use a light touch to add in the remainder.  Pour half of the batter into the cake tin, then get your kid to swirl over a few drops of pink food coloring. Top with the remaining half of the cake mix and then bake at 150C for 70 minutes.  Allow to cool before icing it. My basic icing: 1 ¼ cups of icing sugar, in the food processor. Melt 10g butter with 2 tbs lemon juice and add it to the food processor. (The kids have complained bitterly about the lemon flavour, so choose judiciously.) Mix, adding more food colouring! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
