In England today was the Pancake day. I have never heard about it before. I have seen a lot of pancake eating contest ads all around the town, but I didn’t know its meaning.
And this morning suddenly my son Lukas, remembered that he would like to eat some pancakes.That was really sad. I have to confess: I don’t know how to make pancakes. I have tried many times in my life, but I don’t have any talent in making them, so after a while I gave up. To be honest I’m not a big fan of pancakes.
Thanks God I can buy them, and just heat them. Usually I don’t buy pre-prepared food, but this one sometimes I have to, so I put it in my trolley with closed eyes:)).
When I was at the cashiers, an old lady asked me if today was the Pancake Day. Well, I said, I guess…..and when I came home, I looked after it, it really was…..
In my country we don’t celebrate this, so I was curious about its meaning. If there is somebody else, who doesn’t know: Pancake Day is also known as the Shrove Tuesday. It is celebrated in February or March, preceding Ash Wednesday, it is the last day before Lent begins.
Lent is a time of abstinence, of giving things up. So Shrove Tuesday is the last chance to indulge yourself, and to use up all the food that isn’t allowed in Lent. Pancake are eaten on this day because they contain fat, butter and eggs which were forbidden during Lent.
So, if it’s Pancake day, let’s make a pancake cake.
I prepared a nice Dr Oetker chocolate pudding, I let it cool down. I heated up the pancakes which I bought…. I melted a bar of dark chocolate with 100g of butter and a pinch of salt.
Then I layered the pancake and I spread pudding on each , then chocolate cream until I built the cake.
