Last weekend was marked by my 34 Springs (I'm already getting old, lol), this time the cake was the Rainbow Cake, since it was me cooking I decided to venture into this crazy idea. If I let them choose the cake it probably would be a Pink Ninja Turtle Cake.
It was crazy because it took me half a day to do it, of course I tried to make a healthier option than the original, so I used the recipe "Pão de Ló simples" kind of sponge bread cake, without fat, and I always put less sugar than the recipe (again I'm cheating) and I did not want to use butter or sugar icing , I used yogurt.
The cake took more time because when I added the pulp of fruits and vegetables, the dough consistency was changed, what did not remember at first was to add an extra tablespoon of flour, then because I only had a pan, I had to make one color at a time, and with the rush I blended the blueberries while I has baking one of the colors in the oven and let them waiting, they just rusted.
After so many amateur pastry accidents, we finished the Friday blowing the candles of the trial cake and we ate the final cake on Saturday, the pirates did not care, it was an excuse for another party day.
Anyway I think the end result turned out beautiful, the kids loved, which makes me a little pleased because I like these crazy things that make you work to the bone.
Here is an ideia for another way to give fruits and vegetables to kids.
was it worth the handiwork or not?!?
O fim-de-semana passado foi marcado pelas minhas 34 Primaveras (já estou a ficar uma cotinha, lol), o bolo desta ocasião foi o Bolo Arco Iris, pois sendo eu a fazer resolvi aventurar-me nesta ideia um bocado maluca. Isto porque se os deixa-se escolher o bolo provavelmente levava com uma Tartaruga Ninja cor de rosa.

Maluca porque me levou meio dia, claro que tentei fazer uma receita mais saudável que a original, por isso usei a receita de sempre de Pão de Ló simples sem gordura no qual ponho sempre menos açúcar que a receita pede (mais uma vez estou eu a aldrabar) e como não queria cobertura de açúcar ou manteiga usei iogurte.
O bolo levou um mais tempo pois ao adicionar as polpas de frutas e vegetais, a consistência da massa ficava alterada, o que não me lembrei há primeira de adicionar uma colher extra de farinha, depois como so tinha uma forma tive que fazer uma cor de cada vez, e com a mania da pressa triturei os mirtilos enquanto tinha uma das cores a cozer no forno e deixei há espera, logo oxidou.
Depois de tantos acidentes de pasteleira amadora, terminamos a sexta a apagar as velas do bolo proveta, tendo o bolo final ficado para Sábado, os piratas não se importaram nada do sucedido, pois mais festa tiveram.
Seja como for acho que o resultado final acabou por ficar bonito, os miúdos adoraram, o que me deixa um pouco realizada, pois eu gosto destas coisas malucas que dão trabalho para burro.
Ora fica a ideia de mais uma maneira de darmos vegetais e frutas aos miúdos.
Digam lá que não valeu a pena o trabalhinho?!?
