FUNFETTI CAKE
I am so excited about this Funfetti Cake because it’s my first contributor post for The Cake Blog! I’ll be making cakes for them each month, and I’m kicking things off with an homage to one of my favourite cakes ever, the Momofuku Birthday Cake. If you’ve made a Momofuku recipe before, or even just read my post on the cake, you know it’s a bit of an undertaking (to say the least). That attempt was rife with failures, so I wanted to simplify (read: change) the recipes but still try to achieve a similar flavour. Certainly my simplified version would work swimmingly and be a perfect first cake for The Cake Blog, right? Hah.
If you’ve read any of my previous posts, you know that failures in the kitchen are par for the course when it comes to my baking. More often than not, things don’t turn out as they should, and you get to hear alllll about it. Well, this one is no different. Where do I even start??
My plan was to cover the cake in sprinkles, but also have sprinkles baked into the cake itself. I didn’t want to use the longer style sprinkles you can see here and here, I wanted the pretty, round nonpareils, so I got some. Except that the pretty, round nonpareils SUCK. Or at least the ones I got did. They turned my cake batter a lovely shade of grey… TWICE!
I thought the first time was because I incorporated them into the flour and they were mixing in the cake batter too long, so the second time I decided to fold them in gently at the end. They bled all over the damn place, and I was forced to dump another otherwise perfectly good cake batter down the drain. In hindsight, I should have kept the batter and baked it up later anyhow, but I wasn’t thinking clearly in my blind rage. Ryan was at work, lucky for him.
In my third attempt, I skipped the sprinkles altogether. Well, that frikken cake sank like a ton of bricks in the center. Too much baking soda, I suppose… That was enough baking for the day.
