Quem não gosta de pão de mel? Bolo com especiarias, recheado com doce-de-leite e coberto com chocolate! Não tem como não gostar!! Pois é, os australianos apresentados à essa delícia, também se renderam aos seus encantos. Meu marido foi o primeiro.
Hoje, 1 de setembro, é aniversário dele (e primeiro dia oficial da primavera australiana!), mas, comemoramos ontem com um bolo que arrancou suspiros e gemidos de toda família! hehe
Quando tirei o 'bolo' da caixa e coloquei em cima da mesa, todos arregalaram os olhos me perguntando 'o que era aquilo'! E, chegando mais perto, dava pra sentir o cheiro de chocolate, deixando óbvio que era o bolo de aniverário do Malcolm. Daí, a pergunta era 'como você fez isso?'. 'Mágica!' hehehe
É simplesmente pão de mel, recheado com doce-de-leite e coberto com chocolate amargo.
'E as velas, também são de comer?'... 'Não, só os copinhos são de comer, as velas são só pra soprar e descartar...' hehehe
Foi bem divertido fazer o bolo e melhor ainda comê-lo! Mas, nada como ver o povo curioso e satisfeito! Não sobraram nem os copinhos... e vi gente lambendo as velinhas também... hahaha! :-)
PS: se alguém quiser detalhes sobre como fazer esse bolo, é só dizer nos comentários.

Who doesn't like gingerbread (Brazilian version)? Cake with spices, stuffed with milk caramel and coated with chocolate! Impossible not to like it!! Australians introduced to this delight, also surrendered to its charms. My husband was the first one.
Today, September 1, is his birthday (and official first day of the Australian spring!), but we celebrated yesterday with a cake that took the whole family's breath away! hehe
When I took the 'cake' out of the box and put it on the table, all looked at it with wide eyes wondering 'what that was'! As they got closer, they could smell the chocolate, making it obvious that it was Malcolm's birthday cake. Then, the question was 'how did you do that?'. 'Magic!' hehehe
It is simply gingerbread, stuffed with milk caramel and coated with dark chocolate.
'What about the candles, are they also edible?' ... 'Nope, just the cups are, the candles are just for blowing and discarding ...' hehehe
It was fun making the cake and eating it even better! But nothing like watching everybody, puzzled and happy! Not even the cups were left... and I saw people licking the candles too ... hahaha! :-)
