McVities 5 Galaxy Cake Bars

Product Information

Instead of chopping up pieces of chocolate and folding it through the blondie batter, I added an entire layer of Galaxy Caramel to the centre and oh my God, it worked so amazingly well! Whenever making gluten-free bakes I would recommend using a good quality brand of flour that will likely be a blend such as rice and oat flours, mixed with a binder like xanthan gum to help with the texture, and of course some raising agents. 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.

If you have some neat whisky you could add this instead, half the amount the recipe calls for so when it states 40ml of Baileys use only 20ml of whisky as it is stronger, the Baileys is already diluted with cream and other flavours. 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. Bloom the gelatin in 8 cups (2 liters) of cold water for 5 minutes, then wring the gelatin sheets of excess water and mix into the sugar mixture.Use your free-standing mixer with the balloon whisk attachment to beat the cake batter. As you add the ingredients you might need to scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula to make sure everything is mixing in well. The cupcakes will last for 2-3 days in an airtight container in a cool place. You can freeze both the cupcakes and the buttercream. To freeze them separately, wrap the cupcakes well in cling film or put them in an airtight container. The buttercream can be frozen in a sealed tub. To freeze them decorated, freeze the cupcakes on a plate until frozen solid, then carefully wrap in cling film. Remove the clingfilm when you take the cupcakes out of the freezer to defrost, as if they defrost with it still on it could damage the buttercream. Can you make the cupcakes with plain/all purpose flour? 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?

Like me, you can put some chopped galaxy throughout the cupcake – but its completely optional. You have enough galaxy in the buttercream and decoration that you definitely don’t need it – but I just love going a little overboard on a flavour theme! As you all well know… As you can get the darker galaxy collection now, I used half of that and half of the regular galaxy in the buttercream frosting, but either work perfectly. It’s why the buttercream frosting is slightly darker – but don’t worry.. it tastes perfectly like Galaxy still! Piping Galaxy = yum. Chocolate = yum. Cupcakes = yum. Galaxy chocolate cupcakes?! Oh holy moly yum! I just can’t really cope with how good they are. Like, I am so proud of the photos of these cupcakes, because I think it shows how good these cupcakes are.

For teaspoon (tsp) and tablespoon (tbsp) measurements, please use measuring spoons* and not the type of spoons you eat with. Again this will ensure accuracy and provide the best results. Once cooled, wrap the cakes well in a freezer bag, labeled with the date and type of cake. They’ll keep in the freezer for up to 2 months. Then the night before you need them, get the cakes out to defrost in the fridge, you can then finish off by decorating on the day which doesn't take very long. Can I make this Galaxy chocolate cake in a different quantity? Drinking chocolate sometimes contains whey powder so either find vegan drinking chocolate or use cocoa powder instead. Is this Galaxy chocolate cake gluten-free? As this recipe needs whisking and beating a food processor won’t be able to help us. How can I make sure my Galaxy chocolate cake is perfectly cooked?
