Hello
Today I made a wonderful cake. In addition to being original it is very light and fluffy.
Here it goes:
Recipe Name:
ZEBRA CAKE
(http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr64/melgaco/DSC_0002-1.jpg)
Ingredients
5 Eggs
1 / 8 l Warm Water (125 mls)
1 tablespoon rum
250 grams Sugar
1 packet of vanilla sugar (I use allways 2 teaspoons homemade ;))
1 / 4 l Oil (250mls)
375 grams of flour
2 teaspoons of Baking Powder
2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
Preparation
Separate eggs into yolks and whites.
Reserve the yolks
Whisk the egg whites with 2 tablespoons Sugar (take from the 250 grams!) - 5 minutes - level 3 - 50 º (with butterfly)
Reserve.
Remove the Butterfly.
Put the Yolk / Sugar / Water / Rum / vanilla sugar in the Thermomix - 4 min. / level 4
At the last minute put the oil on top of the cover with the measuring cup on so it drips slowly into the Thermomix.
Finally place the flour and baking powder and mix vel 1-2-3-4-5 / 1-2-3-4-5.
mix in the whites with spatula
Remove half of the mix and leave aside.
Add the cocoa in the remaining Mass and mix on level 3.
NOW:
Grease a pan with butter and sprinkle with breadcrumbs.
Place a tablespoon of mass in the center then (with a nother) a Tablespoon of the other colored Mass direkt overr the first one - CAUTION DO NOT SPREAD IT GOES ALONE it will slip slowly!!!!!!

1 tablespoon light / 1 tablespoon dark ......
It is very important that each mass has its own spoon!

(http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr64/melgaco/Photo070.jpg)
Bake the cake at 180 degrees for about 40-50 minutes. All ovens are different!!!!
Everything depends on the size of the Form
If wider bake faster if closer is a little more!
Do the test with the straws in the center !!!!

VHJ - my boys pronounced it "superb". It really is very impressive to look at. My chocolate wasn't as dark as yours but I think it's time I invested in a better quality cocoa. Thanks for another great recipe Isi.
fruity - I made this (or a version) of this today, got interrupted after whipping the eggs whites and forgot to reserve them so added the next ingredients in with it, batter worked brilliantly. Had enough to fill a spring form cake pan and 6 texan muffins, worked brilliantly apart from volcanoing at the top of the spring form pan, will cut it after tea for the boys 'zerters . The muffins have been given the thumbs up by the painter and the 4 (almost 5) old. I though I would do this for his birthday cake in a large rectangle and cut to ice it. Would be a huge surprise for the kids to see when it is cut.
Chookie - Made this ages ago. Gave the GC a dish and spoon each and they formed the cake. Loved it.
Janie-123 - what are the measurements of water and oil 1/8 of what?? and 1/4 of what??? Just tried making this and my batter was not right at all. I think as I had the wrong measurements. Also, what should the egg whites be like at the end of whisking them with butterfly??? Mine seemed very warm and cooked almost, not like whisked egg whites???
fruity - I made it as 1/8 litre (ie 125ml) and 1/4 litre (ie 250 mls) and mine worked beautifully.

Very interesting.
Thanks Isi - great work again.
Ta :-* :-*
(wish i could speak Portuguese - can't even manage Italian yet)
-
wow that is amazing!!!!!!!!!!
was lol at book the gems :D a cute translation
-
WOW Isi - that looks fabulous. Thanks for the translation Thermomixer.
-
Fabulous!! :-*
It has to be good with rum in it doesn't it? ;)
My query is "a packet of vanilla sugar"... is that a teaspoon, tablespoon or do you have a weight?
I must say your english is improving wonderfully to match your cooking skills Isi! ;D
-
Isi another lovely recipe. I often make a marble cake (3 colours) and have never thought of just putting it in the centre like that and letting it spread itself. Thanks.
-
Thank you so much everyone for your help, opinion and nice comments.
I changed everything (thanks Thermo ;)) Hope everyone understands it now :D :D

Ok this is on my list for this week - it looks very impressive Isi!!
VHJ I am investing tomorrow in raw cocao powder to replace my expensive cocoa powder (OMG I just had the thought of I hope I can do that - please let me know someone if I can't!!)

Your cake looks amazing Karen :)
-
oh thanks elisabeth :)
it's such a great idea to do it that way isn't it! i want to try again with a runnier mix to get it more like isi's (i am jsut far too lazy for separating eggs etc lol)
-
For those who can use colours, check this (http://www.notquitenigella.com/2010/09/09/rainbow-cake/) out for further ideas!
-
cathy79, OMG. But something to think about. ;D
-
Very bright. I would imagine that some children would love that.
-
i didn't know what to expect as I was clicking onto your blog, was looking at the gorgeous cutlery etc and then POW! there is no mistaking that rainbow and all its glorious colours. you are very talented C79

CP - I'd love to take the credit, but this is not my blog or hard work. There are some great recipes on it though.
-
wow, my kids would be high as kites after all those colours :o
-
Wow don't you just like making things that leave people flabbergasted? Isi if you are Portuguese, have you made the Pasteis de Nata (recipe found in this forum), if so tell me re the pastry. I thought the Portuguese rolled it, sliced it then pressed it into the tin to get the true result - the recipe says just cut it but hat doesn't seem right. Also is it necessary to use just egg yolks or can you cheat with whole eggs? I am not Portuguese but I lived there for 11 years, speak the language, mais o menos and love the food.
-
This looks fabulous.
We don't have any rum.
Would whiskey work or gin?
Suggestions please. Thanks
DJ
-

-
DJ, yes please give it a go, looks fantastic. Cant wait to see your photos
