Who doesn’t love cake? The sweetened baked food, usually made with flour, eggs, sugar and a leavening agent?
Nowadays cake has become an important recipe for every place. And everyone likes to have it.
The history of cake dates back to ancient times and the first cakes are thought to have been made in Ancient Greece and Egypt. These first cakes were rather heavy and flat and were eaten at the end of a meal with nuts and honey.
Today cakes are everywhere – the centrepiece at weddings and birthdays, the star attraction at tea parties, and a religious symbol in many countries around the world during holidays and celebrations.
Whether chocolate, carrot, cheesecake or red velvet, pretty much everyone enjoys a slice of cake. But the question is would you enjoy eating a chicken-flavoured one?
Recently, we came across a bizarre recipe called chicken cake.
In an Instagram reel shared by @dailyhub__, the digital creator is seen assembling this bizarre cake. The user starts by combining water, yeast, all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, milk powder, bread softener, and oil, in a big bowl and makes a dough.
After letting it rest for a while, the user bakes this dough in a round pan at 200°C for 20-25 minutes. In another bowl, the user takes 500 grams of chicken and marinades it in ginger-garlic paste, tikka masala and oil.
Post-marination, the user cooks the chicken. Once the baked bread cools down, the user removes the top of the bread and slices it. She then prepares a salad base for the cake combining cabbage, capsicum, carrots, mayonnaise, cream, salt and black pepper.
For the first layer, she generously spreads the salad dressing and tops it with cooked chicken and cucumber before adding another slice of bread over it. She repeats the process.
Once the cake becomes tall enough, she covers it entirely with mayonnaise. Yes, it has been used as an alternative to whipped cream used in normal sweet cakes. To decorate it, the user then pipes the cake with mayonnaise.
To make the sides attractive, she covers it with breadcrumbs while the top is lined with shredded carrot and capsicum.
While some foodies thought it was a cool idea as it “seems delicious” and an “amazing idea to actually make the chicken lovers in love with cakes”, most people thought it was a disturbing creation.
One user wrote: “When you crave a shawarma, a lasagna and a cake at the same time.”
A second user wrote: “This is what we call a sandwich.”
A third commented: “It's literally a sandwich!”
“I prefer calling it a sandwich”, wrote a fourth user.
