Marble & Fruit Cake Verrine



This is a special post.....Cakes & Tales turns one this month! So, "Happy Birthday to Cakes & Tales".......And, this is my half-century post!! I can't believe I posted 50 posts....phew!! A lazy person like me needs a hell lot of motivation for baking, shooting and posting….So thanks to all who supported and encouraged me - my family (esp my kiddos), friends, followers (though, there aren't many) and to all my anonymous visitors….Looking forward for your support (in the form of comments, suggestions) in the future.....

In this 50th post, I would like to thank one special person - Shn of Kitchen Mishmash as she was my inspiration to blogging…..Her blog is one which I started following initially and admire it a lot….I have tried many of her recipes and all were a big hit! Especially her Kuttanadan Duck Roast!!!Man…that recipe is simply the best!!! I had made that for a small family get-together and everybody loved it….So in my family, it’s known as “C-mol’s Duck Roast”…But, definitely all credits to Shn…..Thank You Shn for inspiring me with your blog…..


 The school is closing next week and we (me & kids) are taking a short-break…but I am already in a holiday-mood now!! So, to celebrate this milestone, I created a simple dessert of my own…Na, na...I would rather say ‘made up’ a dessert of my own….So here’s a toast to Cakes & Tales and to it’s readers!!!

Ingredients:
Recipe Source: My Own

Mascarpone Cheese - 200 gm
Amul Cream - 200 ml
Rum/Brandy - 1-2 tbsp
Icing Sugar - 2-3 tbsp
Fruit Cake & Marble Cake - 2 slices each

Method:
  • Slice the cakes (depending on the shape of the dish used) and place it on the bottom of the dish. 
  • Put the mascarpone cheese and cream in a bowl and using an electric beater, beat together until smooth. Sift the icing sugar into the mixture and beat again until well mixed.
  • Pour the rum/brandy and mix well with a spatula.
  • Pour the frosting on the top of the cake and chill.
  • Before serving, decorate with grated chocolate. 

Notes: 1. Since I used a square dish for the dessert, the cakes were sliced vertically.
2. You could use vanilla essence or instant coffee instead of rum/brandy.
3. Since I had fruit cake and marble cake (bakery-brought), I used both for making the dessert. You can used simple chocolate cake or brownies.

Caramel Cake

This time, I am deeply smitten with the vacation bug, and I still haven't recovered from it yet. A trip to The Capital was the main highlight of this year's vacation and we especially my kids thoroughly enjoyed it. It was their many firsts--first looong trip in the train (48 hrs), first trip to the North, first long trip with their grandparents and so on.....So you could imagine their excitement!! Meanwhile, many special days like the Mother's day and Father's Day have come and gone, but I was never in a mood to at least make an effort to bake something for those special days.....Anyways, let me hope this Caramel Cake would compensate for all those lazy bygone days..... Once again, when I have to make a come back, I normally depend on the Fondbites, Bake Along Recipes and this time too, didn't alter that routine!! No more blabbing, off to the recipe for the Caramel Cake (Fondbites, Bake Along # 18). Ingredients: For the Cake Unsalted butt...

Cream Cheese Pound Cake

This Oven Cold Cream Cheese Pound Cake was  Bake Along #11 . And this had a speciality too!! You needn't preheat your oven like you do when baking normally.
