Every OT's favourite subject: food
I'm trying to think of unusual cupcake combinations to try out on people, any ideas? Obviously not too weird, like anchovies and strawberry *cough* Caveduck *cough*, but like toffee and lime or peanut butter and raspberry.

What's your favourite kind of cake?
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Mon 17 May 2010, 16:22, 151 replies, latest was 16 years ago)

My grandmother used to make sponge cake
with loads of almonds on it. Then, once baked, slice it in three horizontally and fill it with jam and chocolate. Then, cover it completely with butter and sugar mixed. Finally, cover all the butter with as many chopped toasted almonds as she could. I've done it and I still love it.

My friends prefer my chocolate cake, though. I can't tell you the recipe because I don't know exactly. I just add chocolate and chocolate of different types and once baked cover it with fondue chocolate, then to the fridge to get it hard and crunchy.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Mon 17 May 2010, 16:28, Reply)

sounds good
I need to do one to cater to the chocoholics, but I don't really like chocolate myself so I might go a bit overboard. Or underboard.

I like the sound of the almond one, mostly so I can display a sign that says "may contain nuts" next to it.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Mon 17 May 2010, 16:37, Reply)

i'm scared now on how many things we are similar
I hate chocolate too, so I never know if the batter is ok before baking, as I refuse to try it. I go by colour and texture or, if the bf is there, he tries it.

Last time I put too much chocolate for the baking time and the middle was all gooey.

You can't put too much chocolate, though. Just keep it longer in the oven. The main problem is that if you use a long needle to check if it's cooked, that won't work with this type of cake, as it'll always be wet. The chocolate will get hard on the fridge, but as long as you have it in the oven, it'll keep running.

(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Mon 17 May 2010, 16:28, Reply)

I found a recipe that slices the cake into 3 and layers banana and caramel in between, it was awesome. Total faff to try and slice a cupcake into three though so I might modify it slightly.

(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Mon 17 May 2010, 16:39, Reply)

When I do cupcakes
Instead of baking first and the slicing, add only a third of the batter, then the banana, then another third, then the caramel and then finish with the batter. As cupcakes need less time to be baked, it means that the banana will be a bit cooked, but should still be ok, if a bit sweet.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Mon 17 May 2010, 16:45, Reply)

I made banana cupcakes a few weeks ago
with cut up chunks of banana in the cake and they went really well, the banana kind of caramelised in the cake so they were sort of natural banoffee.

I love the layered fruit cupcakes, the fruit goes all squishy and nom in the cake. I made up an apple and cinammon one and it tasted like crumble, it was awesome.

Cinnamon and black treacle.
Mmmmmmmmmmm.

I'll have to investigate that
I've never worked with treacle and it was my understanding it's akin to tar!

When I make gingerbread
I replace about a third of the golden syrup with treacle. Much nicer.

Also, if you're spooning it in, dip the spoon in vegetable oil, tap off excess then scoop with that. Slides off like a dream.

There's surely a strikethrough to this comment
But I just can't think of a funny one...

I'm not very good at really unusual suggestions...
Toffee apple? With chocolate icing and multicoloured sprinkles.

Oh man, I'd quite enjoy this thread, but I've missed it.
Anyway, here are my ideas.

- Banoffee and Peanutbutter
- [confectionary bar, such as Diam, Mars, Snickers...etc]
- Something pickled with something cheesey.
- Add some popping candy (idea from Heston Bloomingtile)
- Something with some crunchy bits and melty bits, like inject liquid nutella into the middle and have diam bits in the dough.
- BATTERED AND DEEP FRIED (stock awnser that).
- A reverse one, so it's basicly a load of frosting with a little bit of cake.
- Pear I think would be nice, esspeically if you can replicate peardrop hints (crush them up as a powder and put in frosting?)
- Lavender: Crush up some palma voilets into the frosting*
- Rose
- Fill the middle with custard and put something on top like a stewed fruit.

* or you get your own lavendar, pick off the pettles, cover with icing sugar and a bit of water. Let it dry, and wallah !
