I was thinking of doing an ice cream cake version, replacing the coffee buttercream with a coffee ice cream.

Hey guys, just a tip from a professional chef: always use a scale when doing pastry so you get perfect results every time. Pastry is one of the places where scale is your friend, including for spreading cream, etc., so you get even layers. You can see in the end that his cake is not perfect but still good.

@ChefMajk 2 жыл бұрын

Yes for sure, if you wanna do cakes like this professionally or in the restaurant, I would use scale probably as well. At home, I don't really care that much

I love how you speak with such conviction. "Almond Flour and Sugar."

Thanks so much , I made the cake and it was the best tasting cake I have ever tasted . At the end , seeing your result I was like : where is all the sauce, the sauce was so delicious. Because mine for some reason had a lot of extra liquid chocolate or something.

Chef Majk - I have some experience with adding syrups to cake /cookies - Tiramisu, for example. I've found that using a spray bottle works very well.

Yes I need to buy one

Thank you for the recipe, chef. How many people would this approximately serve? I also noticed that the syrup isn’t listed in the description

@bigbrain296 2 жыл бұрын

Looks amazing chef. But you really need to soak the cake with a ton of syrup otherwise the cake tastes quite dry.

Yes, I think I will put more next time, I just don't like too wet cakes in general.
