Last calendar month Slate pushed an article into my RSS reader pronouncing Coke as well as Peanut Butter Sheet Cake Is Sweet, Salty as well as Southern. H5N1 sweetness as well as salty dessert alongside an offbeat ingredient list? I was real predictably Into It. I constitute the correct excuse to instruct inwards shortly enough: nosotros develop off on a long weekend inwards Forrest alongside a yoke of friends as well as I resolved to accept nigh of the cake along alongside us, leaving a quarter of it dorsum domicile alongside our truthful cat sitter.
This recipe is egg-free as well as pretty slow to veganise, hence I went ahead as well as substituted Nuttelex for the master copy butter. This alone goes a small-scale agency towards explaining the worrisome things I noticed equally I proceeded. The cake batter was thick as well as a fighting rubbery, as well as it barely stretched across the baking tray I'd chosen for it, fifty-fifty though this was smaller than the baking tray directed inwards the recipe. It never achieved the fluffiness of a fresh cake, as well as seemed to conduct keep two-day-old texture from the get-go.
The peanut butter buttercream was incredibly rich, fifty-fifty past times my tolerant standards, as well as licking the beaters was plenty to conduct keep me feeling bloated. The quantity hither seemed far likewise high: equally you lot tin run across inwards my photo, the buttercream looms equally tall equally the cake itself! (I wonder if this recipe was tested well, because the photograph accompanying the recipe shows real unlike proportions.)
Yet, somehow, these ii not-quite-right components came together to brand a pretty non bad cake. The Coca Cola didn't offering a distinct flavour, but the thick buttercream countered the dryness of the cake as well as it was real satisfying to swallow alongside a spoon. While this wasn't the novelty experience I hoped for, it was a comforting process equally nosotros lounged past times the burn alongside a jigsaw.
