Heavenly taste.




This is the cake I made for my friends weddingparty.

It's called Budapest cake and is, most times, the party winner. It tastes so heavenly good and people always ask for the recipe. As you see it's more like a roll and I had to search quite a while before I found a servingdish that was long enough.
If you ever should make one cake I suggest this one. Here is what you'll need.


Plus a little jar of apricot jam.

6 eggwhites, sugar, a can of mandarines/clementines (you know,small oranges) 1 bag of vanilla powder, the one you use to make vanillasauce or vanilla cream.(contains 56 grams of powder) It's important to choose the one that need no cooking. A small amount of sliced almonds, 3 deciliter of cream (liquid to be whipped) and the apricot jam. The oven holds 170 deg. C Time in the oven is 30 min.

First thing I do is to open the can and empty it from all liquid. Then I put the "oranges" on a papertowel and put another towel on top of them. It's important to get rid of all the "outside" liquids. Set the oven too.

Start by whipping the 6 eggwhites and add 3 deciliter sugar ( little by little) during the whipping. A good tip is to leave the eggs on your bench over night. That will give you a much better result when whipping. Towards the end you add the vanilla powder too.

Use baking paper in your bakingtray. Smear your dough evenly out on the tray. Put the almonds on top and put in the middle of your oven. 30 min. 170 deg.C

This is how it looks when baked.

Now you put another paper on top and a grate (is that the right word?) and turn the whole thing upside down. Leave it this way till it's completely cold. The reason you keep it this way is that you want to maintain the damp inside. Otherwise your cake will be cracking when rolling it together.

When cold whip the cream together with 3 tablespoons of sugar.


Remove everything from the cake except the paper beneath it.


Now, add a good layer of apricot jam on top of the cake and then all your whipped cream on top of the jam. Finally you add the oranges. Now all you have to do is to roll it together. Use the paper as help when doing so.


And notice, this is NO low carb thing. :-)

A bit of this and that.


Hello!


I have been doing a bit different things lately. The journalsppread below was made some days ago. At this point I was thinking of what words that appeal to me. Have you ever thought of that? Once you start thinking all kinds of words are popping in your mind. But what are the ones you are coming back to? The one word that always get me to think is reaction. Ever since I learned what it ment it has been my favorite word.
The word ROSE mean the flower but also means to give credit or praise. (in Norwegian that is.)
Once I start to think of some words they lead to other and a kind of "movie" starts rolling. That's really facinating.


As I wrote earlier on, the knitting season is here and I've knitted my first pair of socks this weekend. (first pair for the season) I've had this yarn in my stash for a long time and wanted to use it. It's not the best choice to these patterned socks but I wanted to knit a pattern and I wanted to use this yarn. In any case they will warm my feet and that's the main issue. The colours is not at all that blue, I don't know what happened with my photo.



Today I have made cakes. Applecakes.
I did start with the usual one, and then I tried to make cupcakes and that went well. Easier to freeze them as cupcakes, or at least easier to handle. Tomorrow I'll probably make a lot more. I forgot to add the almonds at the last cupcakes and that is so irritating. They taste and looks a lot better with the allmonds.


What have you been up to lately?
Wish you all the best and thanks for visiting.
