Mangotastic Cake Off



Ingredients

350g of Oreos
70g of butter
600g of crème fraiche
4 eggs
50g of sugar
2 ts of vanilla sugar
70g of condensed milk
200ml of coconut milk
200g of canned mangoes
8g of gelatine

Right on, let’s get crackersmackin’!

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 160 degrees Celsius.

Start the cakeism with melting the butter on your stove. Next up, take the Oreos, fight back the urge to eat them all, put them in a bag or a towel and crush them by hand or smack them with the cutting board. Put some baking paper in the cake pan and mix the Oreos and melted butter together and fill a cake pan with that mixture. Use a little elbow grease to cover the pan evenly.

Whip the eggs together with sugar, add the crème fraiche, vanilla sugar, condensed milk and coconut milk. Give it a nice stir with the good old whisk. Now pour the mixture on the Oreo layer, throw it in the oven and cook it for an hour. 

Almost done now. Blend the canned mangoes to a nice and smooth purée like state. Use mixture of cold water and gelatine (PS! gelatine should be covered in cold water, but not too much), next up fill a large skillet with water, take a smaller skillet or a pot, and submerse it in that boiling water to melt the gelatine. Two bottom layers of your cake should be done by now, mix the mango purée with the gelatine, pour it on the cake and put it in the freezer for at least 2 hours. It’s even better if you can leave it there for the night. Be sure to lock the freezer because sneaky pandas might be out there to steal your cake.

Enjoy with a nice cup of mint tea.

In other news

Now for the promised gayness. Since this cake involves a rather sophisticated (I mean you can’t whip it together in one go) steps, we suggest that you use the time between those steps for a nice nerve calming walk in the woods. At least that’s what we did. Panda usually refuses to leave the house without his camera, so here are a few snaps from our walk in the idyllic woods of Nõmme. And nothing beats the feeling of eating some cake after a nice long walk. Do not try to think about the cake too much tho, your stomach rumbling will scare away the squirrels.

Nom on!
