Tuesday Humour Cake - Salami.
Strictly speaking, this is not a humour cake after all, but a serious Southern European style chocolate dessert. It just happened to fit perfectly in my not-so-serious series of humour cakes.
Strictly speaking, humour cakes may get you in trouble. I was just in time in the kitchen when my daughter got home from work hungry and nearly grabbed this sweet salami stick she saw in the fridge to put on her toast.
Strictly speaking, this is the way it has to go. Things are not always what they look like and then you just need to decide if you take it or leave it. If it is not hazardous for your health or life-threatening, I would say take it!
Chocolate salami tastes great on a toast!
150 g Digestive cookies
100 ml cocoa powder
200 g soft butter
100 ml cream
150 g dark or milk chocolate, melted
100 g cashew nuts (or other blanched nuts) chopped
(1 tsp red food colouring)
1. Break cookies into small pieces
2. Add cocoa powder and mix together.
3. Add soft butter, melted chocolate and cream. Mix well.
4.Add chopped cashew nut into the mixture.
5. Shape the mixture into the shape of a log and wrap it tightly with clingfilm.
6. Refrigerate the salami for a few hours (or freeze a shorter time) until it hardens.
7. Dust with icing sugar before slicing the salami.
