How do you make galaxy cake?

Answer 1

Well there are a couple of different "galaxy" cakes. This is a good recipe for a chocolate galaxy cake :)

Ingredients:

6 (1 oz) squares unsweetened chocolate, chopped

6 Tablespoons hot brewed coffee

1 Tablespoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups butter, room temp.

2 cups white sugar

2 cups brown sugar, packed

6 egg yolks

1 cup flour

1 Tablespoon confectioner's sugar (for dusting)

1 cup sweetened whipped cream

6 egg whites

Shiny chocolate glaze mix.

Eatable clear glitter

Colored sugar

Sparkle piping gels

Silver sugar pearls

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

Grease a 10in. spring-form pan

Place the chocolate in a metal bowl set over a pan of simmering water

Stir occasionally until melted smooth.

Stir in hot coffee. Hotter coffee will mix in better. Be careful, but if the mixture hardens into a dull paste, that's okay, it can still be used. ;)

Stir in vanilla and set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter, white sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Beat in the egg yolks gradually, then stir in the chocolate mixture.

Mix in the flour just until incorporated.

In a separate bowl, whip egg whites with clean beaters until they can hold a stiff peak.

Fold 1/3 of the whites into the cake batter until fully incorporated, then gently fold the rest.

Pour into the prepared pan.

Adjust the oven rack to the center position.

Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until the top of the cake springs back when pressed down gently. ( I like to stick a toothpick in to check. )

Cool in the pan over a wire rack.

Cover the top with aluminum foil to keep the top crust of the cake from hardening.

When cool, store in pan until ready to serve.

To serve:

Run a knife along the outside of the cake (carefully!) and remove from spring-form ring.

Invert the cake onto a serving platter.

Make chocolate glaze as indicated on package, pour while still warm over cake.

Then use eatable clear glitter, colored sugar, sparkle piping gels, and sugar pearls to make your own Galaxy!

I personally like to make rice crispy treats for planets! :)

ENJOY!
