| The Party Cake. The 3 Ingredients. Eggs / 4. Cream Cheese / 100 gm Whipping cream / small carton 200 ml. |
 |
| The 3 Steps. 1. The Eggs. 2. The Cream Cheese. 3. The Mix and Bake. |
 |
| Step 1 : The Eggs. Separate the yolks from whites. |
 |
| Cup the yolk and let the white slip through the fingers into the transfer bowl. |
 |
| Transfer the egg white into the first mixing bowl and the yolk, into the second. Repeat the same way for the next 3 eggs. This method, using 3 bowls, helps to ensure the whites are all clean and pure and should it be contaminated by any accidental drop of yolk, it would be easier to rectify. The whites must be uncontaminated by any yolk invasion. That's the cardinal rule. |
 |
| Whisk the whites ... |
 |
| till stiff. Leave it aside for a bit. |
 |
| #2 : The Cream Cheese. Cut 100 gm of cream cheese. The measurement is on the cheese packaging. |
 |
| 4 yolks + 100 gm cream cheese. Mix the yolks and cheese. |
 |
| #3. The Mix and Beat. Blend the mixture till smooth. |
 |
| Transfer the stiff whites ... |
 |
| into the smooth yellow mixture. |
 |
| Gently fold. |
 |
| Keep folding ... |
 |
| till they look combined. Roughly. This is after 10 folds. Bryan says to stop folding already. |
 |
| I'm using a springform pan. |
 |
| Release the latch and place a baking sheet over the base. Return the ring to its position and fasten the latch. Grease the sides of the pan. |
 |
| Transfer the batter to the pan. |
 |
| All good to go. |
 |
| Oven 150c @ 30 mins. No pre-heat. Tick tock, tick tock. |
 |
| At 30 minutes. Perfect. So ... This makes one layer of the cake. Repeat the whole process from Step 1 to 3 for the second layer. This is why Carnivore baking is so therapeutic. |
 |
| About an hour later. Layer number two is here. |
 |
| Leave the newcomer to cool completely. |
 |
| The 2 layers. Like 2 large Communion Hosts. Beautiful. |
 |
| Beat some whipping cream for the topping. Whisk till it's stiff and able to hold its shape. |
 |
| Spread the whipped topping ... |
 |
| with a spatula ... |
 |
| all over layer number one. |
 |
| Stack up. Place the second layer over the first. |
 |
| Cover up with the whipped topping. |
 |
| Optional. Blueberries. This cake is for my nephew who is celebrating his ... |
 |
| 1st Holy Communion. I am adding the berries for him. |
 |
| The white base resembles the Communion wafer and the berries, arranged in a circle is meant to symbolize unity and eternity. A ring that has no end. None of which explanation my 9 year old nephew will understand, I dont think. Call for Plan B. |
 |
| We shall give this pretty cake a fun and happy name. Look. I couldn't possibly tell my nephew I made a Carnivore 3-ingredient cake for his big day. He might burst into tears. I asked AI for help, and received immediate suggestions. AI is my new friend, by the way. Unfortunately, the list of names suggested by my robot friend sounded a tad too holy. Besides, Bryan did not approve any of them and said, "Just call it 3-ingredients." What?! Not much help there. Long pause here. Big dilemma. Frown. Pace about. Tap fingers restlessly on the coffee table. All of a sudden. EUREKA!!! THE PARTY CAKE It is a celebration. It is a PARTY. Everyone knows what a party is. Great. Decision made. We shall call it The Party Cake. It's the perfect name. Everybody loves a party. Birthday parties. Christmas parties. New Year parties. 1st Holy Communion parties. My nephew will be excited. God will be - pleased. Fingers crossed. If Jesus is not on board, Mother Mary will surely have a word with her Son - privately. "We can't always have wine ..." |
 |
| And so, the Party Cake it is. Here's my slice. Light. Yummy. Delicious. |
 |
| Drizzle with honey. For family members. We all enjoyed the Party Cake. I'm so glad we made it. More importantly, we gave it a fun and happy name. That is the atmosphere of the day. And every day. Fun and Happy. |
