Good morning, blog friends, how are you? I'm still feeling a bit flu-y today, but I'll have a chance to recover because I'm free for the next three days. I've already started a Dr. House marathon. Anyway, here I am again, talking about food and recipes. As you know, I cook often and share my recipes here, but every now and then I'm happy to give up my place in the kitchen.

In fact, today I'm not talking about myself, but about my husband and my stepdaughter, who are baking a huge cake. My stepdaughter loves to cook and found a recipe for a two-tone cake with a sponge cake base and a chocolate base on top, topped with cream and food coloring. My stepdaughter is very good in the kitchen, so she started making the sponge cake herself, measuring all the ingredients precisely on the scales. Eggs, flour, milk, my husband whipping the batter, a small kitchen crew, and me, for once, just watching and reading the recipe. When the first base was ready we put it in the oven and they started preparing the chocolate base.

Buenos d铆as, amigos del blog, 驴qu茅 tal? Hoy sigo con un poco de gripe, pero podr茅 recuperarme porque tengo tres d铆as libres. Ya he empezado un marat贸n de Dr. House. En fin, aqu铆 estoy de nuevo, hablando de comida y recetas. Como sab茅is, cocino a menudo y comparto mis recetas aqu铆, pero de vez en cuando me apetece dejar mi sitio en la cocina. De hecho, hoy no os hablo de m铆, sino de mi marido y mi hijastra, que est谩n preparando un pastel enorme.

A mi hijastra le encanta cocinar y ha encontrado una receta para un pastel bicolor con base de bizcocho y base de chocolate por encima, con nata y colorante alimentario. Mi hijastra es muy buena cocinando, as铆 que empez贸 a hacer el bizcocho ella misma, midiendo todos los ingredientes con precisi贸n en la b谩scula: huevos, harina, leche, mi marido batiendo la masa, un peque帽o equipo de cocina y yo, por una vez, simplemente mirando y leyendo la receta. Cuando la primera base estuvo lista la metimos al horno y empezaron a preparar la base de chocolate.

My husband took care of buttering the pan and using the whisk to whip the batter, but my stepdaughter took care of all the rest, quantities and ingredients. She also carefully and quickly prepared the second chocolate base. It took about a couple of hours to bake both bases, then she placed them one on top of the other and began decorating the cake with the cream. She was good and very precise, and she also used generous amounts. To finish, she drew a cat with cake coloring.

We are a family of cat lovers. She finished it with a caramel topping. It was a beautiful result and a lovely afternoon spent in the kitchen. She was so busy cooking that she never touched her phone! Anyway, the cake was really good, even if it's not suitable for those on a diet, and my stepdaughter had a lot of fun cooking it and is now studying other recipes to try!

Mi marido se encarg贸 de untar la sart茅n con mantequilla y batir la masa con las varillas, pero mi hijastra se encarg贸 del resto: de las cantidades y de los ingredientes. Tambi茅n prepar贸 con cuidado y rapidez la segunda base de chocolate. Tard贸 un par de horas en hornear ambas bases; luego, las coloc贸 una encima de la otra y empez贸 a decorar el pastel con la crema. Fue muy precisa y us贸 cantidades generosas. Para terminar, dibuj贸 un gato con colorante para pasteles. Somos una familia de amantes de los gatos. Lo termin贸 con una cobertura de caramelo.

El resultado fue precioso y pasamos una tarde encantadora en la cocina. 隆Estuvo tan ocupada cocinando que ni siquiera toc贸 el m贸vil! En fin, el pastel qued贸 buen铆simo, aunque no es apto para dietas, y mi hijastra se lo pas贸 genial cocin谩ndolo y ahora est谩 estudiando otras recetas para probar.
