[LM24 Race] Le Mans at home - What are you Cooking/Drinking?

[Noel Brahimi]

For the first time in my life I will try cooking "French silk cake recipe" which I find quite complicated.

Here is the recipe:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 4 oz unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled
• 3 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 Tbsp powdered sugar
• Whipped cream and chocolate shavings for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Slowly mix in the melted chocolate.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
5. Stir in the vanilla and salt.
6. Gradually mix in the flour until just combined.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Whip the cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form.
10. Spread the whipped cream on top of the cooled cake and garnish with chocolate shavings, if desired.

Surely eating Century eggs would be fitting for the occasion?

I put some bread in and forgot to set a timer. How long has this SC been? About 25 minutes, OK I'll leave it a bit more.

I’m good for the SC to go in now.

So far I haven't eaten during the race. Planning some bacon through the night to early morning hours and possibly some pizza for the evening here.

Looks great. I am about to cut the bread...

Just made a ham and cheese sandwich with garden tomatoes, but for a twist I used naan and toasted the whole thing

I missed the pictures this morning but I'll post some tomorrow of the spread.

Couple of the worst worst Bo biscuits I've ever had this morning started my day poorly.

Haven't had any more food, but did have a Mexican Coke. Good stuff.

Shake & Bake hippo ribs, worth the risk.

I'm eating pimento cheese sandwiches, baked sweet potatoes (real butter, sour cream, chives, pepper sauce).
