Chapter 69 - Tiramisu With Molten Lava In Middle (1/2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After removing the mold and shaking it a few times, the fluffy chiffon cake was ready.
“Wow! This is too successful!”
Lu Yuxi exclaimed as she handed Xu Tian a plastic cake knife and said, “Tian Tian, try to cut it.”
Xu Tian carefully cut the cake in the middle. After splitting it into four portions, she found it difficult to continue.
Xu Le held his sister’s hand and helped to cut the cake a few more times. Finally, they split the cake evenly. Lu Yuxi could not wait as she stared at the cake. Xu Le gave her a piece and said, “Try it.”
“Alright!”
Lu Yuxi took the cake happily and took a small bite. It was soft and loose. There were no extra ingredients on the cake, so it exuded the fragrance of the milk, eggs, and butter. The temperature was just right, and the cake was delicious.
Xu Tian picked up a corner of the cake and began to eat it in large mouthfuls with a blissful expression on her face.
“Brother, you’re so awesome! Not only do you know how to cook, you can also bake the cake so well.”
Lu Yuxi nodded in agreement. “It’s sweet and soft. It’s even better than the ones sold in cake shop.”
A chiffon cake was very difficult to make. In self-baking DIY, there were usually very few customers who could make it. Xu Le succeeded in just one attempt. The woman who came over to talk to him because he was a child just now, as expected, failed again and stuck her head over.
“Oh.” She said, “This kid is not bad. Did you come with your… sister?”
The three of them tacitly ignored her for trying to get close to them. This action made the woman unhappy, so she added a few more sentences. But it was too embarrassing, so she finally shut up.
Soon, the frozen tiramisu in the fridge could also be taken out. Its surface was smooth and flat.
Xu Le sieved the cocoa powder to form a thin layer on the top.
Xu Tian held the small plate and stared at him eagerly. She was almost drooling. “Brother, give it to me!”
Xu Le immediately gave her a piece and said, “You can have it first, you greedy cat.”
Xu Tian had yet to put it into her mouth when she suddenly took a deep breath. She choked on the cocoa powder on the surface and began to cough. A ring of powder had styck on her lips.
Lu Yuxi and Xu Le laughed at the same time. One of them found a wet tissue to wipe her mouth while the other patted his sister’s back and comforted her. “Eat slowly. No one is fighting with you.”
Xu Tian was young, but she had a high self-esteem. After losing her face, her appetite was greatly reduced. She only used her fork to pick up a small piece and put it into her mouth.
The slightly bitter cocoa powder was laced with the rich flavor of chocolate and the smoothness of cheese. The two perfectly blended together, and the delicious taste immediately lifted Xu Tian’s mood. She beamed with joy and said, “Delicious!”
The two desserts were exceptionally successful. Xu Le ate a few high-calorie desserts, so his dopamine was stimulated crazily and his mood lightened up.
He watched as Lu Yuxi took a bite and put down her fork to assure that this was her last bite. After a few seconds, she took another small bite. This repeated over and over again until she finally finished a piece of cake and a piece of tiramisu.
She said guiltily, “To lose weight and not grow pimples, I have been controlling my sugar intake. Tian Tian, it’s all your brother’s fault.”
Xu Le could hear the blame in her words. Instead of getting angry, he laughed and said, “The taro box will be ready soon. If you don’t want it, I’ll share it with Tian Tian.”
“…No.”
Most of the people who came to the pastry shop to make desserts only dared to choose the less difficult ones. Furthermore, the main point of the activity was for parent and child bonding or couples bonding. Few people could really make desserts that tasted nice.
Hence, after Xu Le succeeded, he received many envious gazes. Seeing that he still had half of the cake left, someone couldn’t help but ask.
