Hi Mummy,
the first ToyVoyager I met here is Penny-Bo from Southern Germany,a little horse like me
The weather is rather bad today, so my host Katja had the idea to bake a cake. She talked to another member of ToyVyoagers about rhubarb cake with meringue topping, so she decided to bake such a cake. She bought rhubarb on her way home.
After washing it she began to cut it into pieces. It was obvious than that the rhubarb was of a really bad quality, completely dry and lingneous inside. What to do now? I saw an ananas and asked "What about the ananas?" Katja thought this was a great idea. We decided immediately to bake an
Ananas cake with meringue topping.
For the dough you need
750 g rhubarb 500 g prepared ananas
125 g butter
125 g sugar
1 pinch salt
1 package vanilla sugar
3 eggs
200 g flour
2 tsp. baking powder
3 tbspn. cream
butter for the baking pan
For the topping:
3 egg white
150 g sugar
Prepare the ananas and cut it into small pieces. Stirr butter with sugarm vanilla sugar and salt, add the eggs. Stirr it foamy. Mix flour and baking powder, stirr it under the butter-egg-mixture, add cream.
Put the dough into a greased baking pan (28 cm diameter, 26 cm are also ok). Put the ananas on top of the dough.
Baking: 175°C, about 30 minutes
Beat egg white and sugar to a stiff foam, put it on top of the cake after 30 minutes baking, put it back into the oven and bake it for 15 more minutes.
Enough ananas for the cake!
Here the dough is ready.
We put it into the springform pan and added the ananas pieces.
After baking for half an hour we had to put the meringe on top of the cake.
This meringue stuff is really sticky.
After baking for another 15 minutes the cake was ready.
We will taste it tomorrow, it's already too late.
Bye
Carlisle
