I thought, why not try something different this time. Afterall this is a "fashion, beauty and LIFESTYLE" blog.
I made this cake a while ago, and had posted it pics on my Instagram, Twitter and Google+ page. A lot of people commented and asked me for the recipe.
For this cake, first, you simply need to make a chocolate fudge cake. Now for the lengthy but easy recipe, I would ask you to click here . This is my friend (and lucky for me, also my neighbor...ah the perks!!) Priyanka's Food Blog - iCook. She is an amazing cook, you have to check out her blog.
While the cake/fudge is in the oven, we can prepare our whipped cream :
You Need :
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (chilled, as it is easier to whip)
- 1/3 cup or 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- Pinch of salt
- Vanilla extract
Mix them all in a bowl and with an electric whisk...whisk away! When you see small peaks forming, stop. We do not want it to become too stiff.
Now the fun part - the Strawberry Sauce
What you need
- 1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled
- 1/4 cup white sugar, or more to taste
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- okay, a naughty addition, red wine ;)
Process
- Combine everything except for wine in a saucepan and bring to simmer over medium heat.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Add wine and take it off the heat.
- You can use a blender to puree the mixture, but I like getting chunks of strawberries, so I simply mashed them.
Apply whipped cream on cake ( should be cooled down else cream will melt). Spread evenly. Then add the yummy yummy sauce in the top....and...ta daaa!!Make some tea...call your friends over and have it over a chitty chatty session.. :)
I am trying to incorporate more "lifestyle" sections to my blog so I hope you enjoyed reading this post. :)
