#Stardew valley recipe

[artemesianerdmom]

I made the Pink Cake from The Official Stardew Valley Cookbook!

This cake was an experience to make. I’m not a stranger to baking cakes and making frosting from scratch, but this recipe threw me several curves that I didn’t expect. It had three parts: the cake, the frosting, and the jam filling. I followed the recipe exactly (even going as far as finding farm fresh duck eggs!) and I wanted to share my thoughts on the finished product.

The cake itself is super spongey and has a nice crumb to it. I think this is likely due to the duck eggs, but also to the reaction of the acidic buttermilk with the basic baking soda. It was also a little on the dry side, but that was probably my fault as I left it in the oven for a bit because I was sort of terrified of the unpasteurized eggs and wanted to be sure it was cooked all the way through!

I have always wondered what this cake would taste like because the in-game recipe calls for melon. The jam filling between the layers is where the melon factors in: watermelon, to be precise. I think if I made the jam again I would cut back on the lemon zest because the lemon largely overpowered the watermelon and strawberry flavors.

The iconic frosting gets its pink color from ground up dehydrated strawberries. I thought that this would give it a nice strawberry flavor, but I could barely taste the strawberry when I sampled the frosting on its own. The frosting is very creamy and has a lovely texture, though! If I make this frosting again, which I definitely plan to for some of my other favorite cake recipes, I might add a couple drops of strawberry extract to enhance the flavor a bit.

All in all, the different components of this cake come together quite nicely. It was not overly sweet, much to my surprise, but it was very fruity. The jam in the middle ended up being my favorite part, even despite the overpowering lemon. I also wasn’t wishing for more strawberry flavor in the frosting once it was on the cake because there was so much else going on in terms of complex flavors.

This recipe was good overall, and I can honestly say that I’ve never tasted anything quite like it. That said, I don’t think I would go to the trouble of following the recipe exactly again unless my kids ask me to someday down the line. Which, at that point, I might as well shape the cake into a duck and decorate its head with popcorn because there were moments when this recipe almost broke me.

A couple of notes for anyone who might be thinking of making a Pink Cake of their own:

-2 duck eggs = 3 chicken eggs

-buttermilk: you can buy it at the store pre-made, or just add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar per 1 cup of milk and let it sit for at least 10 minutes

-make sure your butter and cream cheese are at room temperature, not melted! Just put them out on the counter a few hours before you start baking

Update:

Despite what I said earlier, I actually did make this recipe again. I had to use up my last couple of duck eggs somehow! I made a few tweaks, though, and I wanted to share them here!

Jam: I didn’t even add half of the listed amount of lemon zest this time. I recommend this 100%, as now I can actually taste the watermelon and strawberry instead of just the lemon!

Cake: I made cupcakes instead of a full sized cake this time!

This recipe made 24 standard sized cupcakes. I baked them for 21 minutes (starting at 18 and then adding a minute before checking with a toothpick each time).

The green rain in 1.6 is so funny. The weather guy is confused with this anomaly that has never happened in the valley before the farmer set foot in it. On that day the tv stations are green statics. Everyone is scared, either taking shelter in Gus's saloon or staying by their family's side, fearing the worst.

And then you step out and it's just Moss

If you’re wondering why I haven’t made any significant progress on any of my fics, it’s because I’m busy buying soup for this guy so he’ll like me

[sdv-confessions]

I get why Shane starting out being rude to the farmer is unpleasant and upsetting to a lot of players, but I think the Pepper Popper recipe alone is worth taking a little verbal abuse. YMMV of course.

this morning I had a rly weird dream about Stardew Valley. my mom and I got into a huge argument over the game, because she told me that in game I had to be eating 600 pieces of wood each day, on top of other cooked items that I couldn't rly cook if I were just starting out.

surprisingly my argument against that wasn't "you can't eat wood what the fuck", it was "if I eat all of my wood then what am I supposed to craft with?"

we got into a massive screaming fight and this almost ruined our relationship as a whole.

until I asked if I had to do all of this in year one as well, and she was like "no, not necessarily" and I calmed down, with her calming down shortly after.

I understand that the game relies on crafting mechanics and all but the recipe for battery packs in Stardew Valley is sooo funny to me. Most mundane object that you'd think would jut be available at your local shop but no in order to get them you must harvest them from lightning rods. Which is weird enough on its own. But you make the lightning rods out of bat wings.

I bet Maru has accidentally made a nuke once. Like, her favourite things radioactive bricks and she makes robots

Combine the two?
