Today was the Swiss Hazelnut Cake. I did not have two identical cake pans, but the cake turned out alright. Next time I use the stand mixer for whipping egg whites, I will make sure to scrape the bottom of the bowl a couple of times.
For the icing, I made half a batch, and that was plenty- maybe not aesthetically, because I didn't get a nice even finish, but a full batch would have been WAY too sickly sweet. Used a bit of almond extract, as I did not have hazelnut extract.
Grating the chocolate using the food processor was fast, but made a noise like a jackhammer, and made a horrible mess, so I grated the other half of the chocolate by hand (used less chocolate, too).
Not the prettiest pictures, oh well! Fun to watch Bake Off and An Extra Slice while baking.
