So semi-final week saw the rather dodgy named Schichttorte! And yes I have attempted the bake, even though after watching The Extra Slice, I wasn't sure that I wanted to. Here's the recipe http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/_schichttorte_49934.
Due to time constraints/family commitments this took me two days to complete. First step was to make the cake batter. This was relatively straight forward, once again bring out the Kitchen Aid! Once all the batter was mixed the tricky 'technical' part was next...to grill, yes GRILL, the cake. This again was straightforward enough, but I really had to watch my timings.
Once that stage was completed next was making the glaze and icing. Again, these were easy enough steps and provided a nice opportunity to lick the bowl clean!
So here is the completed Schichttorte!
I'm pretty sure I did 20 layers but they're not all so well defined as to count correctly. Taste wise - I was right to be cautious. As Jo Brand and the rest of the panel decided, it's not tasty. I won't be making it again!
Next time...mini Victoria sandwiches, Tarte au Citron and scones.
