第一個分享：

四層皮納塔蛋糕!

PI?ATA CAKE!

如你所知，我們是混血姐妹。但我們身上有多少種血統你知道嗎？五種！墨西哥、印第安、泰國、意大利和中國血統！是的，我們有中國（海南）血統哦！因為我們身上流淌著那么多不同的血液，所以我們能更好地理解不同的文化及不同種族的傳統。所以在今天的食譜中，我們要一起來開拓一下墨西哥文化！我們的母親是墨西哥人，每年我們生日的時候，她都會為我們舉辦生日聚會。在聚會上，她會通過皮納塔跟我們分享墨西哥文化。

As you know, we are mixed blood sisters. What mix exactly you may ask? We actually are 5 different ethnicities! These five are: Mexican, Indian, Thai, Italian and Chinese! Yes, Chinese! (from Hainan) So growing up with such a mix of races allowed us to understand many different cultures and traditions. So for todays recipe we will explore our Mexican culture. Our mother is Mexican and every year for our birthday she would throw a birthday party for us. During our birthday party she shared her Mexican culture with us by having a “pi?ata.” 

關于皮納塔 ABOUT PI?ATAS

所以，今天我們要做的，就是皮納塔蛋糕。在做這個蛋糕之前，我們先來回答幾個關于皮納塔是什么：

So, today we are making a PI?ATA cake…but before we make this cake let’s answer some questions you may have about what a pi?ata actually is:

1. 那，什么是皮納塔？？

So, what exactly is a pi?ata??

N&J: 皮納塔是用彩色紙做的裝著很多玩具和糖果的容器。他是墨西哥生日傳統，盛傳墨西哥，美國和歐洲。皮納塔可以是很多種形狀的，但是最普遍的是9角星或者是驢子形狀的。

A pi?ata is a container made of colorful papier-maché and filled with lots of toys and candies. It is a Mexican birthday tradition that is used all over Mexico, America and Europe. The pi?ata can be many different shapes, but the most common is a nine-pointed  star or a donkey.

2. 怎么玩皮納塔呢？

How do pi?atas work?

N&J: 把皮納塔吊起來離地面1.8米高。把準備要敲打皮納塔的人的眼睛蒙蔽起來，然后大概把皮納塔轉5圈，讓他們覺得有點暈眩，哈哈！然后，游戲開始了！

Tie the pi?ata up so that it is around 1.8m off the ground. Blindfold the person who will hit the pi?ata and spin them around 5 times, so they are a bit dizzy. Then…let the game begin!!

在一分鐘之內盡量敲打皮納塔多次。他們的目標是把皮納塔敲破為止，直到糖果散滿地！糖果灑滿地后大家可以跑過來收集糖果哦！

The person will try to hit the pi?ata as many times as they can for 1 minute. Their goal is to hit the pi?ata until it breaks and the candy falls out! Once it is full broken then everyone can run to collect the candies!

我們來瞧瞧Nadia去年在美國怎么在她生日的時候敲打皮納塔的！哈哈！她跟其他人不一樣，幾乎沒有打中哦！

Let’s see Nadia hit a pi?ata at her birthday party last year in America!haha She barely made a dent!!

來來來！我們說了“皮納塔”的概念然后把它做成蛋糕吧！當你切蛋糕的時候，所有糖果從里面流出來就像皮納塔一樣哦！是不是很好酷？！

So, we are taking the concept of a “pi?ata” and making it into a cake!! When you cut this cake all the candies will fall out just like a pi?ata! How cool right??

我們開始做吧！

Let's get started!

431g篩濾過的面粉（量一定用精確）

3g發酵粉

6g小蘇打

5.7g鹽

345g無鹽黃油（室溫）

400g砂糖

3個雞蛋

4個雞蛋黃

12g香草精

360ml白脫牛奶（你也可以用20g白醋混合360ml牛奶后靜置5分鐘做白脫牛奶）

奶油糖霜部分 FUDGE FROSTING

1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

4 and 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar

3/4 cup natural unsweetened or dutch-process cocoa powder

1/2 cup milk

1 Tablespoon light corn syrup

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/8 teaspoon salt

1 cup sprinkles

230g無鹽黃油（室溫）

540g細砂糖

65g天然無糖可可粉

120ml牛奶

8g香草精

0.7g鹽

225g巧克力豆和彩針

DIRECTIONS 步驟

首先做蛋糕 MAKE THE CAKE 

STEP 1: 將烤箱預熱至177°C.

Preheat oven to 350°F.

STEP 2: 因為我們要做的是一個4層的蛋糕，所以必須用到活底蛋糕模。

Since this is a 4-layer cake, you will need to use a SPRINGFORM CAKE PAN. 

沿著蛋糕模的形狀大小剪裁烘焙紙。用對烘焙紙和蛋糕模非常重要！我們要用到的4個20cm的活底蛋糕模。（如果你的烤箱跟我的一樣小，那就重復用20cm的蛋糕模好了，每次使用都要換烘焙紙。）

Cut out the parchment paper to fit into the bottom of the springform cake pan. Using the correct cake pan and parchment paper is very important!  We will need to use 4, 8-inch springform cake pans. (If your baking oven is very small, like mine, just reuse 1, 8-inch springform cake pan, changing the parchment paper after baking each cake.)

STEP 3: 將面粉、發酵粉、小蘇打和鹽放入一個大碗中攪拌備用.

Whisk the flour (sifted), baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside. 

STEP 4: 用攪拌機高速攪拌黃油1分鐘至其變得潤滑細膩

Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on high speed until smooth and creamy - about 1 minute. 

STEP 5: 加入糖后再高速攪拌滿5分鐘，直到完全攪拌好。

Add the sugar and beat on high speed for 5 full minutes until creamed together fairly well. 

STEP 6: 用中速攪拌，加入一個雞蛋，攪拌好后再加入下一個雞蛋，要加3個雞蛋。

On medium-high speed, add 1 WHOLE egg at a time, beating well after each addition until all 3 WHOLE eggs are mixed in. 

然后，再將蛋黃一個一個地加入，總共要加4個蛋黃。

Then, repeat with each EGG YOLK until all 4 egg yolks are mixed in. 

最后加入香草精。

Beat in the vanilla extract.

STEP 7: 用低速攪拌，依照以下步驟一步一步進行：

With the mixer on low speed, follow this order:

1. 加入1/3的干配料 。

Add 1/3 of the dry ingredients.

2. 加入一半的白脫牛奶。

Then 1/2 of the buttermilk.

3. 再加入1/3的干配料。

Next add another 1/3 of the dry ingredients.

4. 將剛才剩下的一半白脫牛奶也加進去。

Then second half of the buttermilk.

5. 加入最后那1/3的干配料。

Last add the last third of the dry ingredients

加料前一定用確認好之前的已經攪拌好了。切忌過度攪拌面糊！面糊一定要潤滑、柔軟、略稠！

Make sure to mix each addition just until incorporated. Do not overmix this batter! The batter will be smooth, velvety, and slightly thick!

STEP 8: 在每個烤盤上均勻地將面糊放上去。烘烤25分鐘直到烤好蛋糕。(用牙簽刺一下蛋糕看烤好與否。如果牙簽是干凈的，就說明蛋糕烤好了。)

Spoon/pour batter evenly into each cake pan. Bake for around 25 minutes or until the cakes are baked through. (To test if it’s done, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, it is done.)

將烤盤放在冷涼架上待蛋糕完全冷卻。在抹奶油糖霜前，一定要確保蛋糕已經完全冷卻了。

Allow cakes to cool completely in the pans set on a wire rack. The cakes must be completely cool before frosting and assembling.

奶油糖霜 MAKE THE FROSTING

STEP 1: 高速攪拌黃油4分鐘至呈白色、光滑細膩。

Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on high speed until pale, smooth, and creamy - about 4 full minutes. 

STEP 2: 將細砂糖和可可粉過篩。

Sift the confectioners' sugar and cocoa together. 

STEP 3: 低速攪拌時，慢慢將砂糖和可可粉撒進去。

On low speed, gradually add the sugar/cocoa mixture.

然后再依次加入牛奶

Followed by the milk

玉米糖漿

corn syrup

香草

vanilla extract

和鹽。攪拌1分鐘。

and salt. Beat for 1 minute.  

將攪拌機調至中速攪拌3分鐘。如果糖霜太粘稠了，可以加入牛奶。

Turn the mixer up to medium-high speed and beat for 3 full minutes. If the frosting is too thick, add a splash more of milk.

組裝皮納塔蛋糕 ASSEMBLE THE CAKE

STEP 1: 用一個7-8cm的圓形餅干模具將其中兩層蛋糕中間切洞。或者，你也可以用一張烘焙紙做形狀參考，用尖刀來切這個洞。

Grab a 3 inch circle cookie cutter and cut a hole into two of the cake layers. Alternatively, you can cut a piece of parchment paper that size and use a sharp knife to trace/cut the holes. 

STEP 2: 將一層完整的蛋糕放在盤子上。用抹刀或刀在蛋糕表層抹上糖霜.

Place one of the whole cakes on a cake stand or serving plate. Use an offset spatula or knife to frost the top of the cake.

STEP 3: 然后再將剛才切好洞的那層蛋糕放上去。在蛋糕表層和洞里抹上糖霜。

Then place one of the cut/holed cakes on top and frost the top and inside the cavity. 

STEP 4: 將另一層帶洞的蛋糕放上去，將其表層和洞里都抹上糖霜。

Place the other cut/holed cake on top and, once again, frost the top and inside the cavity. 

STEP 5: 用巧克力豆和糖將洞填滿。

Fill the cavity with candies all the way up to the top. 

STEP 6: 用最后一層完整的蛋糕封頂。照自己的喜歡在蛋糕上抹上糖霜和糖裝飾一下。我喜歡用糖針！

Place the last whole cake on top and frost the top and sides of the entire cake. Decorate with frosting and additional candies however you'd like.  

切片好好享用吧！

Slice, serve, enjoy! 

YOU DID IT!! And what a beautiful cake it is right?? Perfect for a loved one or a holiday party! Impress your friends and coworkers with this cake! :D

你成功了！多漂亮的一個蛋糕啊！給你愛的那個他/她或者拿去參加聚會吧！一定會讓你的同事朋友大吃一驚的！
