While serving any type of cake in the fall wedding is at least grammatically correct-to keep with the true spirit of the season, serve your guests a delicious alternative to a traditional cake -a spiced cake or a spiced chocolate cake.
Here is the recipe for a spiced cake that you can get custom made by a renowned baker or someone reputed for baking skills.
In a spiced cake, the magic is done by your choice of spices - use 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger and1 teaspoon ground cinnamon for 2 cups all-purpose flour. Also use 1 cup of molasses.
Then there are the routine ingredients of traditional cakes such as sugar (1 cup), butter (I cup and softened), eggs (3), baking powder (2 tea spoons), and salt (1/2 tea spoon).
Follow the usual steps of cake making:
- Mix butter with sugar and beat them with electric mixer until they form a light and fluffy mixture.
- Add eggs, one by one into the mixture and keep on beating.
- Now blend in the molasses.
- Take a separate bowl and mix flour, salt, ginger, and cinnamon in it.
- Add this mixture to creamed batter, beating at low speed all the while.
- Don't forget to add baking soda to the batter.
- Now grease a baking pan and pour the batter into it; bake at 350° for 45 minutes.
You can use the same ingredients and follow the same steps as the spiced cake; only you will need some additional ingredients such as 1 and ½ cups of sour milk and at least an ounce of semi sweet chocolate.
When I was asked to make a wedding cake in chocolate brown fondant with green leaves, I was very puzzeled as to how I was going to make this work and make it look elegant. Being that I didn't have a proper face to face consultation with the bride as she lives in another province, she put all her faith in me and trusted me to come up with something that included (cake covered in choc. brown with green leaves) I literally decided last minute how I was going to make this work and I just prayed for the best. After all the anxiety, I actually REALLY like the cake, and am thrilled to have worked with a bride that likes to be different instead of traditional. I have spoken to the bride and she absolutely loved the cake. In the end, that's all that really matters! By The Sweetest Thing Cakes (Cristina)
