Meter Cake

Just for Dear Sandra: From Croatia with Love

Or, do you think love is measurable? I'm currently reading book Hector and the Search for Happiness: A Novel, and it's very cute book, and on an end they talking about measuring happiness..It makes me think...
Can you mesaure love? When I was a small girl, when I wanted to show someone how much i love them, I would stretch my hands as wide as possible and said: I love you THIS much!!".

Well, today I'm sending ONE METER of Love to my dear Sandra.

View posts ago, I said that I made Meter Cake, and it remind her of her childhood, so I decide today to make this Meter cake and share with all of you. I would send at least half meter to Sandra, but I'm not sure it's such a good idea :D :)

What you'll need:
Round Loaf pan

For batter:
4 eggs
250 g white sugar
150 ml water

150 ml oil
250 g  white all propose flour
1/2 baking powder
2 tablespoon powdered chocolate
1 tablespoon cacao


Cream:
800 ml milk
2 egg yolks
200 g sugar
80 g vanilla pudding powder
150 g butter or margarine

• Mix the egg whites. Set aside. Mix egg yolks with sugar until it's smooth. Than add  water, oil, flour , baking powder and egg whites. Divide mixture in two equal parts. In one add powdered chocolate and cacao. 
• Oil the round loaf pan and sprinkle with flour. Pour the white mixture in and put it in preheated oven. When it's light brown, remove from oven. Wash the pan and repeat procedure with  dark batter. 
•  Cut both biscuits into the ribs.

• Meanwhile, for cream, mix the egg yolks with sugar until smooth. Add pudding and 300 ml of milk.  Place 500 ml milk in saucepan over low heat. When the milk starts to boil, add pudding mixture and stir well until it's cooked. When the cream is cool, add butter (or margarin) and mix well until it's smooth. 
• Next, with cream "glue" one rib of white biscuit and brown biscuit. Repeat until you have used all "ribs". Wit remaining cream coat the whole cake.

 

• For chocolate glaze, mix 300 g semisweet chocolate, 2 tablespoon milk and 2 teaspoon oil, and stir on low heat until it's melted. Coat the whole cake. Put it in refrigerator.  
• Important: When you cut the cake, DON'T cut it right, you need to cut at an angle of 45°, that way you will get interesting structure of cake, with cream, white and brown biscuits, everything that in just one piece.
