RE: Cook with Us #8: Death by Salted Caramel!
Salted Caramel - a firm favourite of mine. Thank you for this incredible recipe. You inspired me to go and bake a cake and it was just before midnight. Thank you for your support and for supporting the other contestants - you have no idea how happy it makes us see you all communicating with each other and trying out each other's recipes. Sadly, we are not on Instagram and Facebook - social media is very time-consuming - we have, however, started to get our discord channel up and running. We are grateful for any help from our wonderful contestants
Thank you. I totally agree with you there is something special in mixing salt with sugar. I use to get this salted caramel shake from this shop but for some obscure reason they’ve decided it was too expensive to produce!! On another level I think that we got caught in our own things and forgot to reach out to others. After all Steemit is a platform for interaction and I’m definitely looking forward to interact more. How did your cake turn out?
Not as well as I had hoped because when I first made it I thought it was the best cake I'd ever tasted - but I was experimenting with using alternatives to sugar - so I used 1 tsp of Stevia instead of 1 of the cups of sugar the recipe called for and coconut sugar for the other. It was still good - but nowhere near the original. Just in case you're interested here is the original recipe for my Italian Creamcheese cake:
Half a cup of butter, half cup shortening, 2 cups sugar, 1/2, 2 cups coconut, teaspoon baking soda, vanilla essence, cup of Philadelphia cream cheese or buttermilk - Beat egg whites and set aside, cream butters and sugar with vanilla essence. Add egg yolks one at a time. Add remaining ingredients and fold in beaten egg whites. Bake in 3 x 9" pans - 15 - 30 mins in a moderate oven. Ice with cream cheese and Icing sugar mix and add a cup of pecan nuts or walnuts. Since your recipe used 3 pans - you might like to try this sometime
Thanks for the recipe @pandamama. I will definitely add it to #myturn list. Might not use stevia as my husband has got an aversiomn for it.
