Creamy TriffiDs Cream Birthday Cream Cake with Cream

I see that you need to have some real stuff here, since we reached a point where people propagate Sausages from bags (omgomg).

Here is the cake I got for every birthday for as long as I can remember. My granny used to fix it for me, then my mother, and now that I am married, ...I have to make the cake myself. I know what you all think: "Oh dear, do you know what you are doing?" But don't worry my little friends - my mother taught me just in time.

So this is what you need:

- Two glasses of morello cherries (sugared and de-pitted). You don't need all of the cherries, but one glass is just not enough.
- Three or four cups of cream (200-250 ml each). The shop I went to, today only had this awful packages - it can't be helped.
- Red fruit pudding powder - raspberry flavour - for 500 ml of water (we will not use water - let alone 500 ml of it)
- Three or four packages of vanilla-sugar
- Three table spoons of sugar
- 1 1/2 bars of whole milk chocolate (Ritter Sport)
- Three or four packages of whipped cream stabilizer
- Three flan bases. It is called Vianna flan base here. Very sweet and light. Dunno a better way to describe it.
- Sugar things to put onto it - the more childish, the better.

First you open one glass of cherries and take about 250 ml of the fluid they swim in. Put that into a pot and take 5 table spoons from that and put it into a cup. Heat up the fluid in the pot and meanwhile put the sugar (the plain one - not the vanilla) and the pudding powder into the cup and stir it until everything flows nicely without any dots. Put away the rest of the fluid from the cherries.

When the fluid starts boiling, add the contents of the cup and stir like hell. Things will first become light red:

then daaaark red and tough.

Take it off the stove and quickly add the cherries from the first glass. Stir again for a few seconds (yes, I know I hurt my hand) and then start to pick the cherries out of the pudding and spread them on the bottom flan base. Leave no gaps. I always build a circle close to the edge, first.

If needed, add some cherry's from the second glass to the pudding. Leave the cherry-packed flan base to cool a little. Eat the rest of the cherry-pudding before anyone comes home to steal it.

Now you take the chocolate

and cut it into small slivers or splinters. Not too fine but no piece should be bigger than lets say 3 mm.

Take 2/3 of the cream and put it into a bowl. Beat the cream until it is very stiff and while doing so, slowly add the vanilla-sugar and the stabilizer.

Then add the chocolate and fold it in.

Now put the second flan base onto the cherry-pudding-layer (it doesn't have to be really cold) and spread the chocolate-cream onto it.

You don't need to care too much about the outer edge, but it has to be plain and even on top.
Now put the last flan base on the cream-layer. Beat the rest of the cream (again adding some stabilizer and vanilla sugar) and spread enough of it on the top of the cake that the flan base is completely covered. But retain some of the cream.

Put this rest of the cream into a... well... how would you call that... a kind of syringe for cream? Is garnisher ok? Sounds dirty, but you know what I mean. Now go round the edge of the cream layers and put two nice rings of cream there to make it look even.

Now add some dots of cream on top of every peace of the cake and add the decoration.

Finished!
Don't use sugar ink to write on the cake or it'll lose its TriffiD seal of approval! Remember: Only gheys write on cakes!
That's basicly it - put it in the fridge till the guests arrive.

This is a very simple cake but I love it. I hope you will, too... You'll have to like cream, though... Rolling Eyes

I feared you would ask that. It is called "Rote Grütze" and is a pretty German thing, I believe. As I said it is a quite common raspberry pudding. I'll discuss it with FishFace and come back to report.

Dream on.

Like the rest of my kitchen this one is brand new. I had to kill six people to get my greedy hands on it. Actually this is only the cooker - wait till you see the oven. I love that one even more.

Hmmm, like the cooker it is quite new, too. So I have had no time to mess it up. When it comes to my kitchen, I am not very messy anyways. There is nothing worse than dirty kitchens. I find the thought of food prepared in filthy places extremely repellent.

What does the dirt matter?
After it has been in your stomach, it changes to even dirtier substance.

you call that a fridge?
thats a proper gonzo fridge! Twisted Evil

And you put rum into cakes. Especially if these are cream cakes.
By the look of your right hand, at least you cut yourself a bit, so I suppose there is still a bit of gonziness in you. Twisted Evil

lol

Nice fridge

Could do with a little variety maybe but nice.
