Rainbow Tie Dye Surprise Cake Heart HOW TO COOK THAT Ann Reardon
English English Welcome to How To Cook That I am Ann ReardonToday we are making this cute and colourful heart inside cake.A few of you sent me pictures of similar style of cake that you'd seen on tablespoon.comand that particular one was made by Beth from the blog Hungry Happenings she'd made it forthem and they were both happy for me to make it for you, so here we go. Firstly mix 3 packets of cake mix togetherand add the required ingredients according to the packet and then mix it together. Then split that mixture evenly between 5 differentbowls. And then it is time to add your colour, nowyou are going to need to be fairly generous here or the shape is not going to stand outfrom the plain cake. So these colours need to be reasonable dark. Once your happy with the colours place theminto sandwhich bags, twist the top and cut off the corners. Squeeze out some of your coloured mix ontoa tray lined with non-stick paper. Then swap to the next colour, and swirl that all overthe tray and keep going. Now for this tye died mixing effect Beth actually learnt thisidea from another website handmadecharlotte.com and one of their contributors Sandra who actuallyheads up the art department at a uni in Kansas came up with this technique for the cake thatshe made there. Keep adding more and then once you are donetap the tray on the bench to get rid of any air pockets. Place it in the oven and then bake it untilit is cooked all the way through. Once it is cooled remove it from the trayand trim off the top browned layer using a knife or a cake leveler. Take the cutter and cut out a heart or whatevershape you have chosen and then the base base off the shape because we don't want brownedcake to be down the middle of our cake. Now obviously as I said you can use any shapeyou like just make sure that it will fit into your tin, that it is not too tall for yourcake tin. Place them on a tray and once we've cut them all we are going to freeze them.This particular amount of mixture made enough hearts to do two of these cakes. So if you'reonly wanting to make one you could cut it in half. Line a loaf pan with foil and bring the sidesup higher than the actual pan so the mixture will not overflow in the oven. Make up two more packets of vanilla cake mix.Place two cups of mixture in the base of the dish. Now I baked this for minutes becausethe shape tends to sink and I don't want it right on the bottom I want it more in themiddle. After this time it will not yet be cooked but will have formed a light skin onthe top. Add some mixture down the centre of that, that's going to go into that littledip in the centre of the heart. And then stack your hearts and place them top side down intocentre of the tin. If the edges of your dish are sloped out like mine you may need to cutone of them on an angle for the last one. So that you can pack them in tightly, that'sgoing to help hold them into place. Cover over the whole thing with more cake mixture.And then bake in the oven. One it is done let it cool then trim off theouter browned layer so that it leaves nice straight sides.Cover the whole thing in frosting, I am using the one that came with the packet mix. Onceit is smooth place it in the fridge. To make our tye died frosting take a snakeof each of the colours that you have chosen and gently twist and squash it together, thentwist it a bit more and squash it together and then roll it out. I used neon food coloursfor this which I have not used before and I thought it had a really metallic taste tothem. It is up to you if you want to use them that's fine otherwise just use normal foodcolours. Everyone else who ate it thought it was fine I just thought it had a bit ofan after taste to it. Lift it up and place it over the cake. Trimoff the excess, when you get to the corners squash them together to seal it and then usescissors to cut down the join. Gently rub it with your finger just along the cut thereto smooth the edge. Add you candles and cut to reveal your colourful heart shape in themiddle.
