McVities 5 Galaxy Cake Bars

Product Information

For the decoration I use a couple of chunks of galaxy chocolate, a galaxy counter, and my favourite bronze crunch sprinkles. I was going to do a drizzle of galaxy chocolate… but I might have eaten the spare required for that job. My bad. Moderate - On your feet for much of the day, either standing or occasional slow paced walking. Typical jobs: shop assistant, teacher, chef/cook, bar worker, engineer. Milk is easily replaced with unsweetened soya milk, I find this most neutral for baking but you can use your favourite plant milk. Finally, keep the oven door shut, the cakes need time to bake and if you open the door too early the temperature fluctuation in the oven will make the cakes sink. You can keep an eye on them through the oven door. How can I add/change the flavours in this Galaxy chocolate cake? Other than these points to keep in mind this cake is ok to be enjoyed during pregnancy, make sure all the ingredients are in good condition and the cake is made safely and hygienically.

Anyway… the cupcakes. I decided to use my standard brown sugar chocolate cupcake sponge. It’s an easy basic sponge, plus cocoa powder. They’re still light and delicious, and I use them in so many recipes – including my Toblerone cupcakes! Heavy - Active for much of the day, walking non-stop and carrying objects. Typical jobs: hospital/ward nurse, waitressing in a busy restaurant, cleaner, porter, labourer/construction worker, gardener, farm worker. Leisure Activity Level Once out of the oven and well cooled you can spoon on the chocolate ganache onto each cupcake, allow this time to set. Then finish off by whipping the Baileys and cream into stiff peaks and piping a pretty swirl on top of each cupcake. Can I make this Galaxy chocolate cake in a stand mixer such as a KitchenAid or Kenwood Mixer? For the sponge, mix the butter and sugar together, then whisk in the eggs and milk. Next whisk in the self raising flour, baking powder and Galaxy hot chocolate powder. Divide the batter between 12 cupcakes cases and bake them for 20-25 minutes.

Inactive - Do very little exercise, going for the occasional walk (moderate pace, low intensity). Spend majority of leisure time doing activities such as watching TV, playing computer games, on the internet, reading, cooking, driving, general household chores. As this cake contains fresh cream for the filling it needs to be kept in the fridge. Transfer any leftover cake into a suitable size container and pop it in the fridge. How long does this Galaxy chocolate cake keep? Vegetable oils like sunflower oil will usually have quite a long Best Before End date, but they do need to be stored correctly to ensure they last that long. Slowly and carefully pour the ganache over the cake, using the offset palette knife to smooth the top and sides.

I used my favourite 2D closed star piping tip for the frosting – as I am just obsessed with the swirl it creates. a 1M open star piping tip also works really well though. I always use ‘medium’ size piping tips in general, apart from a couple which are large. Keep your oil somewhere cool and dark, as heat and sunlight will speed up the spoilage process. Make sure the lid is closed properly too so air can’t get into the bottle when it’s not in use. The buttercream is regular vanilla buttercream with food coloring. Be sure to use a food coloring that's suitable for cake batters, buttercreams, icing, and icing. I recommend using gel or paste food coloring. I have, in the past, mixed my Blondies by hand. This is mainly because where I take my photographs and make my videos isn't in my kitchen but in my dining room next to a big window. For this bake I think the chia seed option will likely be the most successful, it’s quite a wet cake mix so adding aquafaba or applesauce may make the mix too wet, give it a go and let me know how you get on in the comments below! I haven’t got Baileys, can I use a different alcohol, or something non alcoholic?If you have an electric or stand mixer I recommend you use it for whisking the sugar and eggs into the blondie batter. This produces a really light and beautiful texture. For this recipe we’re using both self-raising flour and also adding a little bicarbonate of soda so as long as these are used the cake should rise. This moist chocolate cake only gently rises so don't worry if your cake only rises a little. Drinking chocolate sometimes contains whey powder so either find vegan drinking chocolate or use cocoa powder instead. Is this Galaxy chocolate cake gluten-free?

Add the vanilla extract to the bowl along with the eggs. Beat well for 3 minutes until light and fluffy.Eggs can be replaced with one of the following options (each = 1 egg, so multiply as needed for any given recipe): At this point, I very carefully folded in the flour by hand. When adding flour to cake, blondie or brownie batter I always stop mixing when I can no longer see white streaks of flour. This stops the texture from becoming heavy and dense.

These happen to be the most perfect blondies I've ever made. I think I'm just getting better at the technique with lots of experimenting and practice. Add the caster sugar to the melted butter and chocolate and beat using an electric whisk for 2 minutes until pale and creamy. It's the same sort of thing as my Jaffa Cake brownies but with a blondie batter and swapping the Jaffa Cakes for Galaxy Caramel. The method is pretty much the same! I basically can't be faffed with getting my big stand mixer out and lugging it around the house! But what I will say is using my stand mixer made a big difference to how these blondies turned out. So, if you have an electric whisk or mixer then I would recommend you use it for whisking these up.

I then added the caster sugar and this is the point where the mixture can split. I used the whisk attachment of my KitchenAid stand mixer and whisked for about 2 minutes until the sugar had dissolved. As you can see the mixture goes pale and creamy.
