This was one of those days when if something can go wrong, it will.
On those days you should not bake cakes at all.
But I did do just that, as the chocolate-caramel sweets bought from a ferry trip lured me to try a chocolate-caramel cake.
Yet again there would have been ready-made (tested and proven) filling recipes, and I even went to the shops and bought the muscovado sugar needed in them. For some reason I decided once again to make my own version, so instead of the muscovado sugar I used caramel pudding (shop bought kids' dessert here in Finland) and the vanilla quark I had in my fridge. As well as these, I also put daim-flavoured hot chocolate powder into every part I thought it suited - which was almost every single part.
I don't yet know about the taste, as the cake won't be tested until tomorrow at work, but here's the recipe I used for this:
Base:
4 eggs
1,5 dl caster sugar
1 dl plain flour
1 dl potato flour
1,5 tl baking powder
2 rkl daim-hot chocolate powder
(for moistening: cold daim-hot chocolate)
Filling:
3 leaves of gelatin
2 rkl water
100 g vanilla quark
2,5 dl double cream
120 g caramel pudding
100 g dumle chocolate (1 bar)
Butter cream:
125 g margarine
30 g daim-hot chocolate powder
220 g icing sugar
2 rkl milk
It's too late in the evening to write down the instructions, but I will add them later when I have more time.
