i seriously want to like reply to every single one of your jojo meta/analysis posts but im such a lurker this feels like weird behavior for me. like i wanna pick your brain. sorry if that is weird coming from a total rando

It's just you have a really good sense for understanding this series and it always makes me very happy to see people who well and truly Get It

Thank you very much. (I've been getting notifs of you going through my blog all day, not that I mind at all though LOL)

Though Diavolo is obviously my main guy, I got fixated on Jojo before I ever saw Vento Aureo. It's a very very interesting series to see evolve throughout the decades while keeping some consistent main themes- for better or worse, there is a lot you can pick apart about it. It's so interesting a lot of people reduce it to just a "funny meme fighting show" because deeper topics are always present beyond (and intertwined with) the fighting and goofy outfits.

It (particularly Diavolo) is the thing that felt like it was bursting out of my head enough to motivate me into making a blog in the first place, so I kind of owe it in that way. I also think actually writing my thoughts out for the first time improved my media analysis and comprehension abilities a lot, even if it's just analyzing/complaining about a popular Shonen series on Tumblr. It has changed a lot about the way I look at media, I think.

Boston Cream Cake Pt II

Hey, every birdy. Now that you have seen the original recipe for the Boston Cream Cake. You will understand that I can’t replicate it. I was talking to Pop (my dad) about what I should do as a milestone marker for 1K followers, and he suggested that I share this recipe with you all and then do the math. For those of you who don’t know, math has never really been my strong suit.

So I have no idea how this is going to go. I am doing this post a bit differently. I am going to write up my equation and measurements that I got, and then I am going to bake the cake with the measurements and see if it is right.

Another reason why I needed to do this was because I didn't want to use a lot of eggs. In the whole recipe that I converted I am only going to be using 9 eggs, which seems like a lot but in contrast, really isn’t.

The equation that I came up with was:

Lbs = cups/ 100 = measurement then convert to grams = grams / 2 = measurement needed

This makes no sense written like this. But let me show you how I figured it out with the first ingredient of the cake shortening.

The original recipe calls for 21 lbs of shortening.

21 lbs of shortening are 43.81 cups. 43.81/100 equals 0.43 cups. 0.43 cups is equal to 93 grams. 93 grams divided by 2 is 46.5 grams or 3 Tablespoons. So it is a bit complicated but I want to see if my math works.

I hope you all are still with me, and didn’t fall asleep with all the numbers.

So with that being said. For the cake this is my number and for the simplicity of everything. I am going to keep the ingredients in grams.

47 grams shortening

136 grams of cake flour (All Purpose minus 1 tablespoon. And add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch)

84 grams sugar

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp salt

1 tsp milk

4 eggs

43 grams water

½ vanilla

½ tsp butter

The directions for the recipe will be the same. Put the cake shorting, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and milk powder in a large bowl.

Add water, vanilla, and butter slowly until ingredients come together, making sure to scrape down the sides.

Next, you are going to add the eggs and mix for 3 minutes.

Scrape down the bowl and continue until well mixed.

This is where it is going to be different.

Instead of using the 1-pound 8 oz pans. I am going to be using 9-inch cake pans. Because I don’t want to slice the cake in half horizontally. I think and hope that it will work. Only future Robby will know that information.

Now onto the filling. Using the same equation for the cake recipe.

390 grams of milk

102 grams of sugar

2 Tbsps Cornstarch

5 eggs

½ tsp vanilla

Put all the ingredients in a pan and cook until thickened. Ice the cake with frosting.

The frosting, using the same equation

113 grams sugar

½ Tbsp Karo syrup

3 teaspoons water

½ Tablespoon Shortening

6 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder

¼ tsp vanilla

Put all ingredients in a pan. Heat until smooth. Ice the cake on top only. Hopefully, my math is correct and it makes only one cake.

Prediction: I think it is going to be a balanced dessert if nothing else. Because from the looks of it, the cake itself isn’t extremely sweet. It’s the filling and the frosting that is sweet. And I hope that it comes out looking and tasting good. I will always have my parent’s voice in my head “it doesn’t matter what it looks like, as long as it tastes good!”

Result:

MY MATH WAS CORRECT.

I am so excited that it came out, and was edible. I can’t believe it. I mean I can, but I am a bit shocked. Because again math was never really my strong suit back in school. Even with saying that though one math class that I took in college was literally a math class called “Math of Cooking.”

Everyone told me that it tasted really good. My only criticism about this particular cake and my measurements would be to add a little bit more flour to the cake recipe. And maybe even a little bit more milk. Because when I took the cakes out of the oven they kinda looked like pancakes rather than cakes. So if I were to make the recipe again (which I think I might because it was fun to make. )

As we were going to bed, my mom told me that her only criticism was that she needed more custard in the middle. She said that it was good and she just needed a bit more. This was nice to hear. I had forgotten how to make a custard because I didn't temper the eggs before putting them on the stove. So there was a little part of me that was afraid that I was putting sweet scrambled eggs on my cake.

My dad told me that he really liked the frosting and how I put it together. You should have seen us at Walmart the three of us (Mom, Pop, and I) trying to figure out what in the world “royal fudge” was and he was the one who ended up figuring it out.

The moments when I am cutting the cake are sometimes the longest. Because some people have the dessert and they don’t want to say anything until I am in the room. To give me the results. Sometimes I don’t know if they are quiet because they are stifling a laugh about how weird it tastes, or if they are quiet because of how good it is. Thankfully with this cake, it was the latter. And I am so grateful. They all said that it was really good.

It wasn’t overly sweet. This is something that I strive for when baking because a dessert that is too sweet is not something that I want to give my family. I don’t know. It’s just a personal thing. I just don’t like overly, sickeningly sweet desserts.

I am so over the moon that this worked. Thank you all for your likes, comments reblogs, and follows. You have helped me in more ways than one. And I hope that you continue to follow my journey.

Thank you once again for helping me get to 1000 followers. I love each and every one of you, and I hope to see you in the next post.

Oh my gosh this was a long one. But, I had such a fun time putting this post together. I hope you liked it as much as I did.

Here is the condensed version of the recipe. Without the equation.

Boston Cream Cake

47 g shortening

136 g Cake Flour (I used all-purpose flour + 1 Tbsp of Cornstarch)

84 g sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp milk

4 eggs

43 g water

1/2 tsp vanilla

1/2 tsp butter

Put cake shortening, flour, sugar baking powder, salt, and milk powder in a very large bowl. Add water, vanilla, and butter flavor slowly until the ingredients come together. Scrape down the bowl. Next, add eggs, slowly mix for 3 minutes, scrape the bowl, and continue until well mixed. I used 2 - 9-inch cake pans, (if you want them to come out more like cake and less like pancakes,) I suggest using 2 8-inch cake pans. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes. Spread with cream filling (recipe Follows)

Boston Cream Filling :

390 g milk

102 g sugar

2 Tbsp Cornstarch

5 eggs

1/2 tsp vanilla

1/4 tsp salt

Put all ingredients in a pan and cook until thickened. The next time I make this recipe I will do this part differently. I will heat up the milk and sugar first. And when it gets to simmer I will temper my eggs and cornstarch. and I will add the vanilla and salt when it is all done. Ice the cake with frosting

Chocolate frosting for Boston Cream Cake:

113 g sugar

1/2 Tbsp Karo Syrup

3 teaspoons water

1/2 Tablespoon shortening

6 Tbsps cocoa powder

2 Tbsps milk

1/4 tsp vanilla

1/8 tsp salt

Put all ingredients in a pan, and heat until smooth. Ice the cake on the top only. Or where it wants to go. And enjoy

id love to see baseball zen in your style! just cause i saw your pinned post on twitter and it made me laugh. love your style btw!

Thank you LOL, I've been wanting to draw that skin for awhile now and have a lot of sketches of him lying around but none that I can show cause most of them are pretty old and personal.

I also was drawing this a few days ago so I finished it for this occasion.

your Sirius already had me in a chokehold and now your Regulus might be the death of me what do you put in them to make them so 🥵🥰

Also I know Tiny is a self contained lil dude (I love him I miss him) but imagine a tiny Reggie omg

anyways I love your art, keep doing what you do, thank you for your service 💕

I put James and Remus in them, gives them that glow.

Thank you so much, I would love to do a Tiny Reggie but I’ve seen a couple of mini Reggies running around already and would feel like I’m hopping on their ideas. Maybe they’ll cross paths at the supermarket one day in their respective pockets.

#thank you again #all my love #ask #tiny

I love the way you draw Garmadad! 🤩 I honestly can't imagine him looking any other way. You did him perfectly. I've been wanting to draw him, but I think my design would just be super influenced by yours. Lol. He really is drawn just how I see him in my head. Love it! I hope this sounds all right. I'm just very excited and I'm not sure how to express my love for his design. Haha! Keep up the awesome drawing!

Signed, A Big Fan!
