Every now and then, dip your (clean) fingers in and rub them together. Put the pan over a gentle heat and stir the egg mixture with a fork. The egg whites aren’t very fatty so will not repel the flavoring and will combine with it nicely so that when you come to add the butter the flavor is already there. If you want to know the technicalities behind it, I think that it’s because the fat molecules repel the water-containing flavoring molecules, so in order to get around this you need to put the flavoring into the mixture before adding the butter. I am also over the moon because my theory about why Swiss meringue butter cream wouldn’t take to any flavorings (and tasted like an airy mouthful of butter) was correct, or at least by using my chemical knowledge I was able to fix the problem and made a batch of wonderful vanilla-flavored butter cream. I think I could have managed it if I’d doubled the amount of batter per layer, but you wouldn’t believe how much I already had to buy for this cake and buying extra sponge ingredients was a step too far. In the end they were still a bit iffy and the cake is more a cube as viewed from above because, even with four layers, I couldn’t manage to get the cake to 20cm tall. The only real problems came from the complicated scaling I had to do in order to get the white sections of icing right. It was surprisingly easy to use and there was actually very little room for error. This was my first time using fondant icing and I’m very happy with the results. (The quote above is in reference to the song from the credits.) She gives you a ‘companion cube’ to look after for an entire level, then cruelly forces you to destroy it. The only other character in the game is a sarcastic and malicious robot that controls the testing facility. ![]() You are armed only with a gun that can shoot portals into walls – the use of these is paramount to moving forward. In order to escape (and receive cake), you have to go through a series of rooms, solving laser-ridden puzzles along the way in order to proceed. Fans looking for a perfectionist recreation will have to shave a ton of chocolate and carefully press it into the frosting before adding 8 dollops of frosting and 8 cherries on top, along with a single candle in the middle-doesn’t matter if it’s someone’s birthday or not.This Portal Companion Cube cake is a triumph…įor those of you who don’t spend hours of your life gaming, Portal is a computer game in which you wake up as a test subject in the Aperture Science facility. The frosting will be harder to substitute, as it typically calls for a splash of cherry liqueur, but frosting from scratch is definitely easier than a full-blown cake. If making the cake completely from scratch sounds like too much hassle, a box mix of chocolate cake would still work just fine. Black Forest cakes are layers of chocolate cake that have cherry filling, syrup, and frosting between each layer, piled up about four layers high. However, it’s important to note that while this isn’t necessarily a cake that requires advanced technique, it does have quite a few parts to it. For those who can’t make it all the way out there, though, there are plenty of Black Forest cake recipes to be found on the internet. If fans of the series ever find themselves in Redmond, Washington, they can always stop into The Regent Bakery and Cafe for some of their “delicious and moist” Black Forest cake. ![]()
