A little birthday present for my lovely and amazing friend Andithiel who also happens to be one of the best HP fandom writers.

Thank you for your friendship and for everything else, Andi! YOU are the true gift! 💖

Cake-a-licious!

Draco watched Harry try to assemble the cake. His right eyebrow had gone to meet his hairline and looked ready to abandon his face and run away. “What, in Merlin’s name, are you doing?” 

“What does it look like I’m doing, smarty pants?”

“Looks like you are murdering an innocent cake right in front of my eyes.”

“Ha ha, you’re such a comedian, Draco! You should do stand-up comedy!” 

“I am standing up, aren’t I? And that poor cake is being tortured within an inch of its life.”

“The cake is fine. It’s you who’s torturing my ears. Go away and let me work in peace.”

“I don’t see any peace here, only savagery and barbarism. Let. Me. Help. You!”

“I was cooking and baking while others chewed your food before they fed it to you; I don’t need any help.”

“And I am a seven-Michelin-starred chef, so whatever point you are trying to make is ridiculous. What you are doing is an affront to the natural order. You should at least have chosen a simpler cake.”

“Andithiel deserves the best birthday cake, and I am going to give it to her!”

“Not from where I’m standing.”

“So go stand somewhere else!”

Draco looked at Harry. He was dishevelled, sweaty, labouring with fogged-up glasses, the tip of his tongue sticking out of his mouth, covered in unidentified substances, and bits of cake all over his clothes. The stubborn berk!

But Draco was just as obstinate as Harry. Andithiel did indeed deserve the most wonderful cake, and if he stood by and let Harry commit crimes against baking and cakes everywhere, what she would get would be a Frankencake begging to be put out of its misery. 

He stepped over and, with a light touch, shoved Harry away to take his place in front of the bench. 

“Hey! What are you doing?”

“Staging a coup and taking over. Damage control. Stopping an assassination. Saving us the embarrassment. Pick one. Or pick the bunch; they’re all accurate.”

Harry fumed. “Oh no, you’re not!”

“Oh yes, I am!”

Harry shoved Draco sideways, trying to gain his previous position. Draco held fast and shoved back. 

“I can do it on my own; I don’t need help!”

“That’s right, you need an intervention!”

“I’ll show you an intervention!”

What happened next was sudden and unexpected; while they shoved each other and traded barbs, the cake exploded, covering both of them from head to toe!

“What…” Draco said. 

“How…” Harry said. 

They locked eyes, gaping at the empty space where the cake sat. Shock hit them like a sledgehammer, leaving them speechless. A few seconds later Draco erupted into laughter, throwing his head back, his entire body shaking with amusement.

“It killed itself!” he wheezed. “It couldn’t take it any more!”

Harry joined him, shaking his head. He reached out and scooped a small chunk from Draco’s cheek. He sucked his finger, and an obscene moan came tumbling out. 

Draco took half a step to close the distance. “You have a bit of filling here,” he said before leaning in and kissing Harry on the lips. “Delicious!” he breathed, looking into Harry’s eyes. “The cake is alright too.” 

Harry threw his arms around Draco’s neck and kissed him like his life depended on it. It was filthy, sensual, and glorious. 

“What am I going to do with you?” Draco whispered. 

“Not divorce me, I hope.” Harry replied and leaned his forehead against Draco’s.

“If that was your pathetic attempt at getting rid of me, do I have news for you. You’re stuck with me. For life.”

“In that case, what you are going to do is take me to the shower and help me wash away all the mess. For the next two hours.”

"Including the one we'll make?"

"I said all, didn't I?"

“With pleasure. But first, I’m going to lick every little bit of cake off your skin.”

And so Andithiel’s cake was forgotten in a haze of lust, love, and dirty sweet talk. But she didn’t mind one bit. After all, cakes are temporary, but love lasts forever.

Dutch Baby

by Eric J.

Recipe:

Ingredients

⅔ cup of milk

3 large eggs

½ cup all purpose flour (packed)

¼ tsp vanilla extract

¼ tsp salt

3 tbsp clarified butter (can be substituted with vegetable oil)

1 tbsp cinnamon (approximately)

¼ tsp nutmeg (approximately)

  (Out of the Oven)

Instructions

Clarified butter

If you cannot buy this from a store, you will need to clarify your own butter.

First, cut about 5 tablespoons of butter up into a thick bottomed saucepan.

Melt the butter on low heat. This should take a little while.

Separate milk solids (white foam) on top of the clarified butter.

Let the butter cool to allow about 5 minutes. Then skim off any more solids and pour the clarified butter into a separate dish.

  NOTE: The milk solids can be kept and served on the Dutch Baby, but also go good on other food, especially popcorn.

  Dutch Baby

It is a good idea to stage your utensils before starting. You’ll need 1

8-10 inch cast iron skillet, either a blender or a simple protein

shaker, oven mitts, and measuring utensils.

First, preheat the oven to 425ºF

Blend milk, flour, eggs, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until batter is smooth. If using the protein shaker, be sure to add milk before flour and that all of the flour has been incorporated.

Melt clarified butter into cast iron skillet on high heat until just bubbling.

Pour batter into center of skillet. Be careful for splattering butter.

Let cook on stove top for 20-30 seconds, then quickly transfer to oven.

Bake at 425ºF for 20- 25 minutes on the middle rack. Check after 20 minutes as cook time may vary

Once sufficiently risen (3-4 inches depending on skillet) and golden brown, remove and serve.

Eat quickly as the dish cools easily. Often served with some fresh lemon juice, powdered sugar, butter, or maple syrup

  NOTE: Be sure that pictures are taken immediately after removing from oven. Also, season to taste. Amounts of spices are suggestions and experimenting with berries is encouraged. Basically, treat this as a glorified pancake both in altering and serving.

(Serving Images left to right: Cut and Served)

     There are a lot of reasons for people to bake. Some people only will if they have to, others bake because they love it. I bake to eat. That means I’m not really concerned with presentation will absolutely avoid unnecessary messes. When I look for recipe I’m checking the time it takes to make before anything else. Don’t get me wrong, I do enjoy baking and I love when something turns out looking professional, but that’s not what I’m doing it for. I like to eat, and if I want something, nine out of ten times, I have to make it myself.

     Being as inexperienced as I am, most of my recipes come from YouTube videos where I can see step-by-step what to do. I found out about Dutch Babies from a channel called FoodWishes. I decided to go ahead and try to make one after a little research into clarified butter (which I had never even heard of previously). After getting right and having to share with my family, making Dutch Babies became a regular thing for weekend breakfasts.

     This recipe is one of the simplest, yet impressive looking dishes I’ve ever made. It take a few common ingredients, and about 10 minutes to prepare before you bake it. To make the cleanup easy on myself, I just use a protein shaker instead of a blender to mix the batter. The simplicity is my favorite part about Dutch Babies, well aside from the name. The look on people’s face when you tell them you ate a Dutch Baby for breakfast really is priceless.

     Speaking of the name, you may be wondering as to why an overly fluffy pancake is called a Dutch Baby. Although it’s perfectly reasonable to think there is some connection to the German penchant for creating gruesome fables for children, this is actually an American dish. Based on a German dish, the Dutch Baby was actually created by a restaurant owner in Washington that claimed a trademark in 1942. The owner’s daughter is actually credited with naming the dish.

     As I said, this is just a dish. When you’re eating with four people, Dutch Babies go fast. It’s always a good idea to have a few thing you can pair it with. The great thing about being a breakfast food, is that there are so many sides to serve with this dish. There’s always thick cut, hickory smoked bacon, or breakfast sausages (I prefer links), but it never hurts to experiment a little. Personally, I find a small assortment of fruits and berries does the trick. Whatever you may have on the side, I suggest staying away from eggs. The Dutch Baby already has three eggs in it and in the center you can really tell from how dense it is.

(Collage Image, left to right clockwise: melted butter, gentle boil, separated butter, clarified butter.)

     So let’s talk a little about actually making this Franken-cake. First; the clarified butter. This is kind of extra to be honest, and just vegetable oil will do the trick, but clarified butter is the best thing to use. I clarified my own the night before, but you can buy this stuff at a much higher quality than what I made. Basically what happens is boiling separates the oils, salts, and fat solids in the butter. Then you just strain off the liquid oil to use. It takes time, can be messy, but definitely makes the process feel more authentic.

(Collage Image 2: left to right going down the columns: ready to mix, finished, cinnamon in, flour and salt, side view)

Second thing; mixing the batter. Like I said earlier, I just use a protein shaker. It’s fast, easy to clean, and perfect when you’re trying to be quiet cooking in the morning. If you try this recipe, please don’t make it harder than it has to be.

Now my favorite part every time is pouring the batter and watching this thing rise. You may want to make sure you use the middle rack, I’ve had it hit the top of the oven before! Something to keep in mind when heating the clarified butter is to coat the sides of the skillet and not to pour until it begins to bubble a little bit. Once you pour, wait thirty seconds to a minute and stick it in the oven to bake

It’s strange what kind of opinions you end up with when you’ve been watching food videos on youtube for long enough.

Like -- not opinions about food. Opinions like “the worst possible thing you could do in a kitchen is frankencake!*”

* frankencake: the act, in industrial kitchens, of cutting cakes into layers and paying no attention to if the cake you assemble consists of layers from the same cake. yes, I know having a cake whose layers baked in the same pan changes nothing about the cake. it’s the principle of the matter! They Belong Together!

Baking an ‘Extra Cake’

Some of the challenges on the list are easier than others. Some take weeks or even months of preparation, testing our capacities to commit to and see something through to the end. The marathon forced us to push the boundaries of our respective mental and physical comfort zones.

Then there are those challenges that, no matter how well prepared for them we are, could well end up with an impromptu trip to the hospital. This was undoubtedly one of the latter.

Number 34 - ‘bake the world’s most extra cake’.

For those of you who aren’t up to date with the latest lingo the term ‘extra’ does not, as I had previously thought, mean something that is especially good. In fact, the urban definition of ‘extra’ refers to anything that is overly excessive.

I love baking and at any given time will have a full array of flavourings, decorations and colours in my designated ‘baking cupboard’. So although the original plan was to bake a really good cake, we naturally decided to bake an overly excessive one instead. How? By baking every single ingredient in my cupboard into one enormous, terrifying frankencake of course.

Given my complete lack of organisation, when Kyli arrived to assist with the making of said cake, we had absolutely no idea what would be going into it. I had considered looking through the cupboard beforehand, but half the fun was seeing what would be going into the mixture together.

We decided to set out a couple of ground rules before starting. First of all we decided that no matter how unappetizing the combination, if it was in the cupboard it went into the cake provided it was a) consumable and b) reasonably within date (i.e. hadn’t grown legs and personality).

Secondly we decided that being as how several of the items were in multiples, that we only needed to one of each of them. For example, I have several shades of red food dye – for occasions when just the one shade of red won’t do – but we only used one.

With the non-consumable items removed, we were left with what was actually going to be put into the mixture. Aside from the normal items such as eggs, flour and sugar, we were both excited and horrified to discover we would in fact be making a coconut, caramel, strawberry, orange, vanilla, prosecco cake.

After much careful planning (about 2 minutes of chatting) we decided to use the ‘make the batter, seperate it into containers, colour and flavour each one and then sort of splat it into the pan’ method. What we ended up with was several bowls of radioactive looking mixture ready to go into the oven. For clarity, we had red strawberry flavoured mix, yellow prosecco flavoured mix, orange flavoured mix that was incidentally also orange, blue coconut mixture and green caramel mixture. The vanilla we used went into the butter-cream filling.

Going into the oven our creation resembled something halfway between a cake and a Muppet that someone had melted down and poured into a bowl.  It did however still smell like cake.

We sat and made plans for a few more fort activities whilst it was baking and I did the obligatory peek into the oven after about half an hour to see what was going on.

Now I do a lot of baking and have a pretty good knowledge of how my oven works. Usually at this stage of the process the cake is rising nicely, emitting both a pleasant heat and the delicious aroma of freshly made tasty treats.

This time I opened the oven door and was greeted by a blast of inferno-like hot air that could very well have come from the seventh circle of hell.

Eyeballs melting, my nostrils are met by something that smells a lot like what I imagine a burning carcass would smell like. Unfortunately Kylie wasn’t looking and so I had to do it a second time so that we could get a picture of me choking on the fumes. Here’s the picture. It’s delightful.

Once out of the oven and cooling, the cake actually smelt half decent once more, leading me to believe that it might in fact have been my oven that was the problem.

The next issue was that there were a few burnt patches on the outer layer that ruined the overall aesthetic we were going for. Obviously, the clear answer was that one of us needed to shave the cake. I was rewarded for my efforts with a slightly wonky dome shaped construction that looked like a confused hippy had vomited onto it.

We had used a lot of the colours we had in the batter, but still had a few that needed to put in their cameo appearances. With that in mind we decided to go for much the same approach to decorating as we did to mixing in that we just sort of made all the colours, lumped them on the top and hoped for the best.

That done, we also added gold food paint, silver, gold and pink glitter, crunchy strawberry pieces, golden shimmer bits, mini Jazzies, white chocolate and mixed decorative stars. Kylie did attempt to artfully throw stars across the top of the cake; however most of them missed and landed half way across the kitchen. Our wonderful monstrosity complete, we tucked it into the fridge to marinade in its own juices for a while until the icing had somewhat set.

Inevitably the moment finally came that we had been simultaneously dreading and anticipating – the actual tasting of the cake. Not sure what exactly to expect we videoed our taste test, the video from which will be posted on our Face book page along with the other pictures. I can’t speak for Kyli, but personally I was hoping for a Charlie & The Chocolate Factory-esque experience wherein each bite would be layered with a different flavour. Forks held aloft and the local ambulance service on speed dial, we finally got to see what an orange-coconut-caramel-strawberry-vanilla-prosecco cake tasted like.

The answer was – surprisingly pleasant.

Admittedly, the flavours we used were fairly standard flavours for a cake. It wasn’t as though we’d added a few tablespoons of gravy granules and a dollop or two of Heinz Salad cream into the bowl. I’m not sure if I was hoping for something disgusting or simply anticipating it based on my previous experiences of trying new things.

What we actually got was a reasonably light, somewhat overly sweet sponge. Kylie could taste more of the caramel; I could taste more of the strawberry. It was really quite edible despite looking like someone had carted it out of Chernobyl in a wheelbarrow.

Now I know it’s cheesy to try and crowbar meaning into any of the ridiculous things that we do but I would be lying if I said that making our ‘extra’ cake didn’t get me thinking. It seems like a good metaphor for life, or more accurately, the benefits of trying something new and crazy.

Would we have cared if it had tasted terrible? No, it would have been hilarious.

Sometimes you have to put everything you have into something just to see what happens. Our cake could have been a disaster and it could have been a triumph. Until you try something new, you’ll never know what you might create.

So would we recommend baking a cake using absolutely every ingredient in your baking cupboard?

Absolutely. Just don’t blame us if it tastes like absolute garbage.

Which it might.
