八月,是我娘,大姐和二姐的生日月份。
大姐说,她觉得与其送别的礼物,倒不如送些水果给爹爹娘亲当一份心意,岂不是更好吗?
她出水果,我出力做蛋糕。
于是,她托朋友给我们带来草莓,百香果,石榴和蜜瓜。
全部都是进口水果,很多都是我们平常舍不得买的。
呵呵~
谢谢大姐!谢谢文诗!
第一次挑战格子蛋糕。
做出来的蛋糕跟我想象中的有出入。
自己只给自己的蛋糕评70分吧!
第一,蛋糕体是从我之前做的基本戚风蛋糕食谱稍微改动而成。
巧克力口味的蛋糕体,我略嫌不够松软。
用同样的食谱改成草莓戚风蛋糕,做出来的蛋糕体却很松软。
我猜是因为可可粉的吸水力比较强,所以水份不太够。
第二,蛋糕切开来后,蛋糕间隔粘得不是很好。
因为,想说尽量不要抹太多的鲜奶油,这样吃起来比较没负担。
事实证明,要间隔粘得好,还是不能减少太多的鲜奶油。
第三,第一次给蛋糕淋上巧克力淋酱。
在淋酱还微微温热时就淋在蛋糕上了。
结果,怎么看起来薄薄,稀稀的,而且蛋糕上面的鲜奶油还化了。
怎么跟别人做的差那么远。
最后,在等待着巧克力淋酱滴干净时,发觉滴落下来的巧克力淋酱变得浓稠了。
这才发觉,原来得等到巧克力淋酱几乎冷却了,变得比较浓稠后,才可以淋在蛋糕上。
于是,给蛋糕再淋第二次的巧克力淋酱。
这次,真的比较好了。
但是,或许是巧克力淋酱太多了,尽管蛋糕冷藏了数小时,中间的部分还是没办法完全地凝固。
下次要切记,等到巧克力淋酱几乎冷却了,才淋在蛋糕上。
虽然这次做的《巧克力草莓格子蛋糕》并非完美的一个蛋糕,但都是我放了很多心思去做的。
满满都是我的爱~
