2 Cakes 1UP - Chain Chomp Cake

Chain Chomp Cake
Difficulty: Hard
A double cake, where the base is a rich chocolate cake with nutspread and custard, covered in marsipan, and the beast resting on top consists of tasty spongecake, with custard and a surrounding layer of chocolate mousse. The entire thing is then wrapped and decorated in marsipan.
This might the be the creation of the biggest scale we've done yet on the show, and that shows in the amount of time it takes to make it. But, it was all worth it!

Recipe
Chocolate cake:
2 dl or 4/5 of a cup of sugar
2 eggs
50 gram or 2 ounces of butter
3 dl or 1 and 1/4 cups of flour
2 teaspoons of bakingpowder
1 dl or 2/5s of a cup of coffe
3 tablespoons of cacaopowder
2 teaspoons of vanilla flavored sugar

Preheat the oven to 175 C or 350 F
Grease up a baking plat.
Mix the sugar and eggs in a bowl. Then melt the butter.
Mix flour with cacao, baking powder and the vanilla flavoured sugar in another bowl. Pour the eggbatter and the butter into the larger bowl, and mix..
Bake for about 35 minutes in lower parts of the oven.

Now, let it cool off a bit, and then slice it into three sections.

Fill the different layers with stuff of your own choice! I used birds custard, about 4 portions, one jar of nutella, and then used about a cup of whipped cream to cover it. Then flatten about 400 grams of sugar paste or marsipan and put it on top of your cake. Cut away the excess pieces.

Next up, the spunge cake!

1 cup or 2,5 deciliters of sugar

1 cup of butter

4 eggs

2 tablespoons warm water

1 teaspoon of vanilla flavored sugar.

2 teaspoons of lemon juice

2 cups, 5 dl of flour

2 teaspoons of baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

Once again, grease up your baking pan, a spherical if you have it!
Melt the butter. Mix egg and sugar together, then add the water and lemon juice. Mix the dry ingredients in a larger bowl. Mix the two together, and add the butter last.

Pop in the oven for about 30 minutes at 350 degrees F, or 175 C

For both cakes, use a pin to see if the cake is too moist. If it is, leave it in for another couple of minutes, but be watchful. You dont it to burn!

For the chainchomp, we used additional 4 portions of birds custard for the filling, but then used chocolate mousse to cover it.

Chocolate mousse is best achieved by mixing 2 yolks together with 100 grams of chocolate. Melt the chocolate first, and mix it with an eggbeater when you pour in the yolks. Then, whip about a cup, or 2,5 dl of cream. Mix in the whipped crime, and refrigerate for an hour. Then whip it again.

Cover the chainchomp, and then use 400 grams of black marsipan to cover it up. Its a bit tricky got get smooth, but you'll get there! :)

For the mouth and eyes, we used about 50 grams of red marsipan, and 60 of the white. Simply flatten it, and shape it the way you want it. The mouth should be a bit eliptic for best effect. The eyes are simply to white circles, with small black circles inside of them, with a tiny speck of white in the black for reflection.

Chains and spike and other decoration can be made with leftover marsipan! Enjoy! :)

Wow!! This is incredible bro! Really awesome masterpiece here!! I admire the cool details of it!!! I'm sorry for being late, but HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY bro!! I feel so bad for not viewing this vid when it first came out =( Also, I can't help but noticing the resemblance of the portrait on the wall! That must be your sis right? =)

@PhatPhunk

Thank you! This is to this date the most intricate thing we've tried to do on the show!

Aw, thanks man! :)

Haha, youre the second one who has commented on that! No, its not portrait of her, but now that people have started mentioning it, I can see the resemblance! Its one out of a series of portraits that an up and coming local artist made a couple of years back, that I managed to get my hands on :)

[Flutterytumble]

@TanukiKGA wow! That sounds awsome! But yeah you did run out of space on the cake! XD

[TanukiKGA]

@Flutterytumble

Oh, just by the way, I was actually thinking about trying to make some roses to place around the chomp. I've been wanting to try that out from your tutorial videos :) Unfortunately, we ran out of time and space too for that matter. But some day! :)

@Flutterytumble

No, I realized that you didnt mean anything negative with it, and I do take it as a huge compliment to hear things like that from someone who actually does this for a living, and knows how to do stuff :) So thank you. That really made my day :)
