Cinnamon toast crunch |
I am planning out the birthday cake for the little lady. I have to manage to get M&Ms. chocolate cake, cinnamon toast crunch, chocolate chips, pink frosting, and sprinkles all into one cake. This could potentially taste horrible. I decided to make a triple layer chocolate cake and add layers of sprinkle crunch and M&M's. I haven't decided where the cinnamon toast crunch comes in, it may have to be served on top of the vanilla ice cream or it might have to be an entirely different cake with apples and cinnamon (apple jack cake? thanks Paul for the tip).
Here are the recipes of what I have made so far. These are modified recipes from the
Momofuku milk bar cookbook. If there is one thing I have learned from reading
Christina Tosi's milk cookbook it is layers, texture and intense flavor combinations are the best.
Cinnamon Toast crunch*:
170 g of Cinnamon toast crunch
40 g milk powder
40 g sugar
4g kosher salt
130 g melted butter
Heat for about 25-30 minutes at 275F after mixing all the ingredients. Let cool and store until needed.
