30 Soy Sauce Rolled Cake (1/2)

”An ancient dessert?” Hana was confused. What would be considered an ancient dessert?

Elder Lan sighed. ”As expected, you do not know as well.” His gaze turned heavy as he looked out the window. ”Ancient desserts are delicacies from the era when our ancestors dwelled upon the Earth.

Over the centuries, many of these recipes were lost. The few recipes that still exist are have either been altered slightly from the original, or doesn't match its ancient descriptions.

Of course, I do not expect you to create a perfect replica. However, the test is for you to create something similar.”

”That's fine, but what exactly should I make?” Hana asked. The term was so vague. Dessert could range anything sweet. Moreover, what kind should it be? French? Japanese? Chinese?

Hana did not consider herself a good baker. Despite her talents in chemistry, she only learned to replicate food from her favorite anime. She would need an ingredient list to make anything complicated or new.

”You may reference the book there. Everything within this room is for your use.” Elder Lan did not have high expectations of her anyway.

Teenagers these days only wanted to scour dungeons and play around with their abilities. It was rare to meet a girl that would cook, moreover be able to recreate historical desserts.

Hana opened the book, expecting to see recipes. Nope. She deadpanned as she read through the first page about cake.

'The delicacy known as cake has unknown origins. It's texture can range from light and flurry, to rich and dense. There are a multiple of flavors (see list on next page). It is often covered in various colorful pastes to enhance sweetness and provide different textures. Pastes may include whipped cream, buttercream, icing . . . '

Hana shut the book. She definitely didn't need that.

”Is ability usage allowed?” At the elder's nod, Hana began her work.

”Gardevoir, come on out!”

The psychic Pokemon appeared elegantly. It's red eyes swept around the room curiously, before turning to Hana.

”You'll help me cook today again.” Hana said. Her gaze sharpened as she turned toward the fridge. ”Use Telekinesis to clear everything into the sink.”

Gardevoir eye's glowed. The messy countertops instantly became clean as trays, pans, and goop floated up and paraded to the sink.

Hana moved quickly as she riffed through the cupboards and fridge. Eggs, milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, cream. She stacked ingredients onto the counter rapidly.

Pulling out the trays and whisks, she quickly formulated a plan in her head.
