Maybe she’s a normal cake woman?
Normal ideas are welcome (or even non-cake desserts, if suitable). The chocolate marmalade one was described as “just a normal cake”—which makes sense, a lot of soviet recipes were dope at the time but people are in a totally different food system now lmao. Olivier salad still whips ass though. Mainly bc you can substitute a lot of ingredients, use sauce gribiche, better mustard, chicken, brussel sprouts… Mmmmmmmmm brussels sprouts
The recipe said “just a normal cake”…?
Dark chocolate, almond, orange, and an herbal liquer like Strega or Chartreuse or Galliano L’Autentico
This will sound facetious, but I recommend getting her a cake she likes.
I don’t know if is too late to ask questions or do sleuthing, but if there was some kind of cake from her past she really liked that she hasn’t had in a long time that might be ideal. Like for my wife that was ice cream cake which isn’t as much a thing anymore as it was in our childhood. For me that is certain recipes my mom made in my childhood.
That’s smart, the backup option is to make a new flavor of basque cheesecake. She’s better at those though so I was thinking of something entirely new.
It’s possible that she, like me, doesn’t particularly like cake. Maybe pie?
Go right ahead and recommend your favorite pie! A lot easier for me to bake ;)
Preppy Kitchen and his videos is how I learned to bake. He has some good cake stuff on there
Thank you! Always looking for new channels
