This Week's Parsha
Riei
This Dessert:
Non-holy Steak
Hashem allows Bnei Yisrael to eat meat without offering it as a Korban first.
What You Need:
Ingredients
7x11in sheet cake
1 cup red/pink frosting
¼ cup white frosting
Things
Knife
Offset spatula
Dinner plate
How to Make It:
Carefully level the top of the sheet cake.
Cut out from the sheet cake the shape of a piece of steak – include in your steak as much cake as possible.
Spread a layer of red/pink frosting over the cake to completely cover it.
Spread a few curved lines of white frosting around the cake in various places on top of the red/pink frosting to create a ‘marbled’ effect.
Carefully transfer the cake onto the dinner plate.
