Very, very sweet chocolate birthday cake

With awesome filling inside.
It is actually something that my dear Husband loves.
Peanut butter and hazelnut chocolate spread
Yes it is a little bit heavy, dense.
However it is really perfectly balanced!
The sweetness from peanut butter and hazelnut chocolate spread and the home made plum marmalade (which is a little bit sour, without any sugar added).
Enjoy, since we all are little children...

*
Happy Birthday my dear Friend!


Quick Cheap Tasty - Very, very sweet chocolate birthday cake


ingredients for cake: 

- 250 g of butter
- almost 2 cups sugar
- vanilla sugar or vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons of cocoa (i always give more!!!)
- 1/2 cup red wine (or fruit juice when you bake for children)
- 2 cups flour
- 4 whole eggs
- 3 teaspoons baking powder


In a saucepan cook the butter, sugar, vanilla sugar and wine.
Everything will be warmed up until uniform consistency, reduce heat and cook further.
Alcohol should evaporate.
In the event that we, instead of wine, fruit juice, cook faster.
Knock the eggs into a bowl, add the flour with baking powder.
Add the cooled chocolate mass.
Mix thoroughly until the mixture will be uniform and free of lumps.
The form of baking parchment paper.
Pour the batter into the mold.
Bake at 180 degrees (convection) - 40 minutes minimum.



filling:

- peanut butter
hazelnut chocolate spread
- marmalade (plum without sugar added, best would be home made)

How to make:

Cut the cake in four equal layers.
One coat with peanut butter (I added additionally some caramel-peanut choc bars, but if you want to you could use chocolate with peanut or something similar) and the second layer coat with hazelnut chocolate spread.
Then peanut butter layer and hazelnut chocolate spread must be put together so they stick to each other really good (photo 3).
On the spare top apply a layer of marmalade.

With two other parts of care do as previous - apply peanut butter and hazelnut chocolate spread.
Pour chocolate or icing over top and spread it evenly on the whole cake.

Decorate as desired.

Ginger liqueur



ingredients (at 2-2.5 liters of strong liquer):


FIRST PHASE

- 2 large, juicy ginger roots
- 4 large lemons
- 1 liter of 95% alcohol

1. Peel ginger and cut into very thin slices.
2. Wash the lemon and squeeze the juice from them.
1 and 2 toss it into the jar.
3. Put ginger,lemon juice and 1 liter of spirits (you could use vodka, but after 6 months of preparation the small and taste of vodka remains) in a big jar
4. Hide it in a dark closet and weekly shake jar. It should remain in the closet for 3 months. For the impatient one month (but it will have a strong smell of alcohol, and believe me - I tasted it after 1 month and after 5 months, there is huge difference).
5. After the three months, drain off through cheesecloth, strainer or other cloth.

Let's go to:


PHASE TWO

- 1 liter of water
- about 0.5 kg of sugar

We need to add sugar to a liter of water as much as we want to be in 2 liters of liqueur.

There are two ways:

1) Boil water with sugar.
Cool and add to the cold  liqueur.

2) into the pot, pour a liter of boiled water, a  liqueur and gently heat (do not boil!!!!!) all at the same time adding sugar to taste.
When you feel that warm liqueur is already sweet, then when you cool it down it will be terribly sweet

6. pour so prepared liqueur through a strainer and place in bottles and hide in the closet for the next 3 months.
For the impatient for 1 month (to be reckoned with focus and strong ginger taste of alcohol - exactly it is so).


I'm hiding it for the next three months.
