Once upon a time I had a blog!
I am back from my trip to the moon! I haven’t upload anything for ages to this blog....so, now it’s time to give life again to this beautiful medium!
What am I cooking today? I want to try to cook two new dishes: one is a very typical chocolate bundt, and the other is a very untypical ingredient for a soup....
First of all, don’t run and throw up....these two things are not supposed to be eaten together....but if you would like to try the bacon-chocolate experience I won’t stop you in doing that....but once you’ve done it, let me know what it tasted like!
Why I am doing these two antithetical dishes together? The answer will shortly come.....read the recipe/s:
A homosexual chocolate bundt + Bacon dashi!
What you need:
A kitchen
1 mixer
A bunch of bowls
A saucepan
A pink bundt pan (if it’s not pink you will loose the homosexual part of this recipe)
Spoons and knives
A preheated oven (180°C)
Soup Ingredients:
2 L of water
2 15x7 pieces of Konbu
250g of smoked bacon
HCB (Homosexual Chocolate Bundt) Ingredients:
2 eggs
Pinch of salt
Vanilla flavor
Rum flavor jafd (just a few drops)
Bitter Almond flavor jafd
Lemon flavor jafd
240 All purpose flour
90g Butter
150g Sugar
A glass of milk
Baking powder
Chocolate drops
- Wash the Konbu with fresh water and put it into the saucepan with 2 L of fresh water. Bring it to simmer, turn off the heat and leave there for 10 minutes.
- While you are waiting 10 minutes, you can start preparing the ingredients for the HCB: Divide the eggs, beat the egg whites with the mixer until they form a thick foam.
- Mix the butter and sugar until they become a smooth paste
- Go back to your dashi: remove the konbu from the pan, and put the bacon into the water, bring it to boil and simmer it for 30 minutes.
- Add the egg yolks to the butter-sugar paste, with the flavor drops.
- Add the egg whites, milk, salt and the flour mixed with the baking powder. Mix it very carefully, you do not want the egg-white foam to become just egg whites again!
- Add the chocolate drops. Pour the mixture into the pink-bundt pan; if the mixture is too thick, use a spoon to create the bundt (please, don’t leave a number of mountains into the pan!). Bake it for 45 minutes, or until it looks ready and firm.
- When the dashi is cold, refrigerate it and remove the thick fat paste which will be floating in the saucepan. Use the rest.
I have decide to bake this bundt because I still had some chocolate lasting from Easter....and I needed room in my tiny fridge! So, if you feel heartless enough for smashing a cute and sweet chocolate Easter bunny with a hammer, be my guest, do what I just did and enjoy the feeling!!!!!
