I usually make CP, but have been experimenting with HP. I decided to make
a soap cake using an FO that had a lot of vanilla in it, hoping to avoid the long cure.
When I do it in CP,
it discolors to a lovely ebony brown over the course of 3-4 days. (Bramble
Berry's Dark, Rich Chocolate)
I added the FO after the cook, before I put the soap into the mold.
It was difficult to stir it well throughout , and I was unsure of how much
time I had. I removed the cake from the mold the next day, and it began to
discolor unevenly. I thought that it would look like a marble cake, but it is
not very attractive. The parts that were white are a dirty looking brown.
So- my question to you HPers is: How do I get the FO evenly throughout the
batter? Do I add it at trace? then do I risk losing strength of smell? Will
adding more assure a good scent? I surely want an evenly "chocolate" cake.
Any suggestions?
