Baked Baileys Irish Cream cakes yday (:
My first attempt at an alcohol-infused cake.
They were pretty nice, an odd infusion between the taste of Baileys and butterscorch.
Pictures time (:
I like this spinning effect.
This was taken when the mixture was beaten in high speed.
The aroma of Baileys filled the whole kitchen
After beating.
I like this dripping effect (:
These are the Mini Angel Pans I got.
The original recipe called for one big pan,
but I decided that smaller ones would lower the chance of the cakes being underbaked.
The last thing I'd want is to taste floury unbaked cakes.
Happy me with one of the pans (:
Oh, that was the Crochet top from LB.
Totally in love with this top!
Had buttered, floured the pan before dropping in the chopped pecans.
In hindsight, we should have added more pecans.
They add a nutty crunch to the otherwise densely rich cake.
As an experiment, we decided to add in some pecans into the mixture,
and to pour them into remaining the 2 pans.
It turned out that it was nicer for the pecans to be in the mixture,
than to be at the bottom of the cake.
Less messy, and more well infused into the cake.
The boy was the main chef!
In here, he was pouring the blended mixture into the angel pans
Managed to get him to pose for this (:
Nicely filled angel pans (:
After 30 minutes of baking,
this was how they look like in the oven!
Glaze now: Butter, icing sugar, water and Baileys!
And the cakes finished off with a shiny glaze on top (:
The taste-test came after we left the cakes to cool in the fridge
It was pretty nice and tasted nothing like any cakes I've ever eaten.
The Baileys taste mostly came from the glaze I guess,
but the cake itself is quite nice too. yays! (:
Psst, I thought the angel-pans were a really good buy too!
They make the cakes so much prettier.
And they ensured that cakes are well-baked,
cuz the centre of the cakes are always the hardest to bake nicely. heh.
Shall use them more often for future cake baking (:
