Have You Ever Heard Of Such A Thing?
Decorating By JoanneK Updated 27 Nov 2006 , 2:21pm by MrsMissey
I got a request for a spice cake. Now I know you are thinking "spice cake? What's so hard about that?" But, they meant they want a hot pepper taste! It's for a guy who loves hot stuff and puts hot sauce on everything!
How would you go about doing this? Is it even going to be possible? I was thinking of maybe making a white cake and then adding chili peppers to make it hot or maybe some kind of hot sauce?
Of course no one would eat this cake but him. Or at least I wouldn't think anyone would.
Help! Any ideas?
Have you ever seen the chocolates that have chili powder/wasabi and other hot things added to them. I think if I had an request like that I would do a chocolate cake and add chili powder. Maybe 2 or 3 tablespoons. I would do a test cake and see if it affects the cake the way you want it too.

I'd try some chocolate cake with some habanero mixed in - just make sure whatever you use doesn't have any garlic or savory seasonings in it.
Other option - chocolate cake with cayenne in it. Rum cake with mango habanero curd, etc.

Thanks, RedPanda! What an excellent source. I love the idea, myself. I've got a friend that this would be perfect for! Yippee! I will let you know how it works.
How hot does he want it? I have not seen a cake recipe with really hot spice to it, but I have seen a habanero salsa strudel -- and the tears it brought to the eyes of the person eating it.
If you have access to an asian food store, or an international foods section in your supermarket, look for chinese hot pepper oil, and try exchanging some of the oil or butter in a basic yellow cake recipe with the hot pepper oil.

I know there are alot of chiliheads out there. And have watched foodnetworks different shows on it. And I remeber alot of cakes and sweets done with the chili's. I saw someone posted the different site. I don't know if the food network would have some ideas or not. Good luck with the SPICE cake
This recipe sounds fabulous:
