BXBX NOVEL Chapter 164 My Baby Made Me Proud
"I have been told that many of you are asking if you can sue someone for emotional damages and my answer is yes. If you have caused me pain, why should you get away with it? Sometimes, emotional damages can be worse than financial or physical damages. But I am not lawyer and I am not an expert in this area so I will not elaborate on this matter. What I will do is get back to what brought most you here, baking a coconut cake for my son who has made me incredibly proud.
Yes, Justin performed well in school so I am rewarding him with a cake baked by my own hands. Other parents out here on the blue star, please don't feel the pressure to do something similar, if you cannot bake then buy a slice of cake from the canteen.
I will start by setting my oven to three fifty because the cake needs to go in when the oven is already heated up. Next I pick up my cake pans and line them with parchment paper and butter and flower. I am using three pans but you can use one or two depending on the size of cake you are making. Please take a look at your bottom screen, all the ingredients I am going to be using and their quantities have been included.
In a bowl, I am going to add three hundred sixty grams of cake flour, four hundred grams of granulated sugar. I am going to do something called a reverse creaming method, the butter is creamed into the flour and sugar. I am adding salt, some baking soda and baking powder.
Then I am going to sift this mixture out manually. Then I whisk all the dry ingredients and add some two hundred twenty six grams of room temperature unsalted butter. You can see that it's not too soft or hard, do not over mix this because you will have a dense cake. We do not want a dense cake do we, assistant chef Justin?"
Justin turned his head to the camera in shock with along gummy worm drooping from his mouth.
[Pfffftt, assistant chef Justin is not doing his job.]
[Caught slacking off, assistant chef Justin.]
"Use your mixer to blend all these ingredients together for about a minute until we get a nice crumbly mixture. As this mixes I am going to separate the eggs, I will be using only the egg whites because I want a white cake and the yolks will add yellow which I do not want. Look at this by the way, these are double yolk eggs, usually eggs have a single yolk. Beat the egg whites for a few seconds lightly to break them up. .
She turned off the mixture and touched the crumbly mixture. "Look at this everyone, isn't it neat?
[They look like tiny particles of white soil.]
[Is it done yet?]
"I am going to add the egg whites to the cake crumbs and mix it again, this recipe uses one cup of milk so I am adding that in. You can also use one cup of coconut milk. So in it goes and then I add vanilla and some coconut extract. Mix this on medium speed for one minute."
She looked at the screen, and Rodney sent another question.
[If my boyfriend dumps me, can I sue him for emotional damage?]
"As we wait for the one minute to elapse I will answer this question, if your boyfriend dumps you unfortunately you cannot sue for emotional damages. I think people would be afraid to get into relationships if terminating one will result into being sued. But if that person entered a relationship with you out of impure motives like financial gain then you can sue as long as you have receipts."
[Receipts?]
[Like the ones given after shopping?]
"Explain." Rodney urged her to continue.
"By receipts I mean tangible and visible evidence documenting this fraud because it truly is fraud. For example this individual asked you to buy for them expensive bracelet terminals, computers, game cabins or consoles, jewelries, flying cars or mechas. As long as you can prove that this is all they were after in the relationship you can sue. Keep in mind that these are personal opinions, the law itself could be different so do some research first.
She went back to her cake, "Now add into the batter our new sweet shredded coconuts which are now being sold online and in the blue mart. Take the batter mixture and spread it evenly among the three cake pans. Each pan gets about four hundred fifty grams of batter, then into the oven they go for half an hour.
As the cakes baked, Rodney asked her to answer more questions.
[How is your relationship with the mecha king?]
"My relationship with Esong is amiable, we are getting along very well. "
[We have not seen Severus today, where is he?]
"Severus is walking around somewhere in the castle, he usually shows up when I have finished cooking."
[Do you and general Esong plan to have more children?]
That question seemed a bit too personal, whether they wanted more children or not was not an affair for the empire. "Did I mention that these shredded coconuts can be eaten as snacks. I know that your sensors are on, so Justin and I will eat a bit for you all to taste the sweetness."
He opened his mouth and grabbed a handful, throwing it into his mouth eagerly. She on the other hand ate slower, wanting the viewers to enjoy the taste.
[It's sweet.]
[Already purchasing as we speak.]
[Can we see pictures of coconut trees again?]
She clapped her hands abruptly and turned to the oven, "The cakes are ready to come out of the oven, I am inverting them and allow them to cool and I am ready to make a coconut cream cheese frosting, so delicious. You will love it as much as I do.
Into the bowl I add equal parts butter and cream cheese, two hundred twenty six grams to be specific, some salt and mix this for three minutes. Add some vanilla, coconut extract and some sugar. Sugar must be added slowly to ensure that it spreads evenly. Mix this on medium speed until it's fluffy and light. It looks ready to me, so I will stop the mixer now." She showed the frosting to the camera, even touching some and licking it.
[Woah, so tasty.]
[It's soft and smooth, can it be eaten on it's own?]
She smiled at the cameras and continued, "This is a cake stand, we have been selling them but since not many people are baking cakes we have not sold many. If you want to be a professional cake baker however you will need one. Add some frosting on your cake stand and place your first layer of cake n it. Another round of frosting, then another layer of cake and more frosting. Finally, we add the last layer and I cover the entire cake in frosting, including the sides. Most of the frosting goes on the upper layer, then I add coconut shredding with my hands all over the cake. Chill it for thirty minutes and you are ready to enjoy."
