Latest trend: Tube it!

First time I have met with the TUBES with edible content was a couple weeks ago when I was working on a CHRISTMAS PARTY. They put some spread in the tubes, so I had to do something even COOLer. I was thinking and thinking and thinking... and finally I came up with the idea: I am going to put a CAKE IN THE TUBE.

There you go:

Recipe: 

Take as many tubes as many servings you wish for. Where the hell will I get empty tubes? VERY GOOD QUESTION! I went to a PHARMACY, some of them don't even ask you what do you need it for, some of them won't give it to you. Anyways, if you have time just order a box from the internet.

So you have your tube now, all you need is the CAKE. Basically any cake will do. For the first time I choose a CHOCOLATE cake. The best if you have three components: the cake, cream and fruit.

I will show you my version (the components are separately and carefully stolen from more experienced bloggers).

The CAKE

I made a Sacher cake which I have found on izletes.hu. In case you don't speak Hungarian here it is in English:

10-12 servings

18 dkg dark CHOCOLATE

18 dkg butter

12 dkg SUGAR

3 eggs

14 dkg flour

1 spoon of water

Mix the butter, sugar and the EGG YOLKS in a bowl. Melt the chocolate over boiling water and add it to the mix (not when its SUPERHOT unless you want scrambled eggs...). Add the water and flour. BEAT the egg whites and carefully mix it in. Bake it on 175 C for HALF an HOUR.

Creeeeeaaaaaaammmmmmm ....
 This recipe is from KISKUKTA ( http://kiskukta.blogspot.com/2011/06/kedvenc-csokikremem-dobos-torta-krem.html ) because she is obviously the QUEEN OF CAKES. It is a DOBOS cake filling. Again in eNGLISH:

4 eggs

200 g sugar
2 spoosns of CACAO
100 g dark chocolate
200 g BUTTER


Mix the eggs and the sugar. Put it over boiling water and keep beating it. Do it with an electronic handmixer. ATTENTION! It will become HUGE and FLUFFY. So pick BIG pots. When its big and fluffy, put the chocolate and the cacao in and cool it down. When it is cold enough mix it together with the butter.


Then you only need some FRUIT COMPOTE. I used cHERRIES. Just take some of the JAR and SMASH it. Important that you use some of the liquid the fruit is in. This will wet the cake and you will be able to PUSH it from the TUBE.

aaand the exciting part: JOIN UP the puzzle: 
CUT an approximately 1 cm layer of the cake. Use the OPEN side of the tube to cut little CIRCLES. The cream and the smashed fruit has to be in filling BAGS. Put the tube up-side down and you can start: cream, cake, fruit, cream, cake, fruit etc... until you have 2 cm left. FLAT the back of the tube with a bUTTER KNIFe and fold it up. YIIIHAAAW! READY!


You can wash it and decorate it as you like.
