You asked – I made them…enjoy! This recipe for Toe Nail Dusted Sweet Cakes is from from the Hoxton Street Monster Supplies Cookbook
I asked what my readers would like to me to make from the book and had an overwhelming response for Toe Nail Dusted Sweet Cakes, so here they are.
First though, make sure you have a jar of Truly Disgusting Toe Nail Crumbs in a jar on your kitchen shelf like I do.
Toenail Dusted Sweet Cakes
“In the past, nose-to-tail -end hunters would source and dismember whole humans – and Toenail Cakes were a great way to use up every last scrap. A full set of fungus-infested toenails was considered a real treat and the original recipe introduced them to the dessert menu. Most tribes now buy pre-packaged joints and cuts, so this updated recipe is for those who don’t have easy access to truly disgusting toenails.”
Ingredients:
- 125g unsalted soft butter
- 125g caster sugar
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 250g self-raising flour, sifted
- pinch of salt
- 4 tbs milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 400g icing sugar
- 100g cocoa powder
- 150-175 ml boiling water
- 200g desiccated coconut
Method:
Here is the recipe for my Night Terror Torte from the same cookbook.
