Good Old Cake Tins
Last week I embarked on a birthday cake-baking mission. It was the first time I've actually baked a cake since leaving Iona. Funny how weird it seems to use only 3 eggs instead of 6 or more...
And a small mixer instead of the giant Hobart. Oh, how I miss the Hobart.
This is more show and tell than recipe since I think there was something wrong with the recipe which was found online. It is for a coconut cake...using shredded coconut and coconut milk. I read the ingredients wrong and didn't add enough coconut...and there seemed to be a lack of moisture, so I added more coconut milk and water until it got to be a cake batter-like consistency.
I added a small bit of rum to the raspberry jam filler...and some extra coconut too.
This was the first time I made "cooked" frosting with egg whites. It went rather well!
The finished product!
