A HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAKE & Banana Pudding


Banana Pudding
Happy Birthday Cake
(Bolo Espera Marido) Brazil

German products I used to make the cake:

Haltbare Schlagsahne (whipping cream)

Kokosnuss geraspelt- (coconut)

Feinaucker - (sugar)

Weizen Mehi (flour)

Feine Speisestarke- (cornstarch)

Original Back in- (baking powder)

Apricot Jam-

"I think I will stick with American products that I know for the next time I make this cake. The problem here was not that the cake wasn’t made right, it was a very heavy cake, heavier than a pound cake, and very rich. Substituting sea salt, for table salt made the cake a little salty. But the icing compensated for it, and the cake was able to hold more of the orange liqueur. I also think that the spirit of which the cake was made will be a conversation piece for years to come."
