Notes on the cakes:
- using the recommended scoop size, the recipe makes 14 cakes, roughly 10-11 cm (4.5") in diameter (so 7 servings)
- they spread a lot when baked, so the 2 inches of space is a must; I had to bake them in three batches only six fit on a standard baking sheet
- as expected, the cakes come out domed rather than flat like the ones in the comic, and the shapes weren't all uniform
- the batter baked well and yielded soft cakes; there was some unavoidable browning on the undersides and tops
Icing:
- aside from the issues mentioned above, the icing should be chilled slightly before spreading on the cakes, and allowed to chill again before assembling them; maybe 10 minutes in the fridge for each step would do it (otherwise, the icing is prone to spreading too much)
- ideally, the filling should be piped onto the cakes to achieve a rounded effect when viewed from the side
- Ti logo is difficult to freehand neatly; a stencil could help
- intense vanilly taste is nice
I might try again sometime, but I think this version needs more tweaking.
>>101388072Thanks, it was fun to try.
