RECIPE: Maggot Cake

Author: Michelle Anders

I present, passionately caught in a whirlwind of enthusiasm, a versatile and delightful recipe that transcends culinary boundaries. The featured delight can grace your table in various forms—raw, cooked, or baked—and is bound to tantalize your taste buds.

If the texture of the buns doesn't quite align with your palate, fear not. A quick stint in the oven will transform them to perfection. I personally relishs crafting myown buns, reveling in the delightful balance of texture and crunch that this recipe offers. It's a simple yet divine creation, boasting a tantalizingly crunchy crust—a true crowd-pleaser, ideal for any gathering.

It's a simple recipe with a delicious crunchy crust that's a great treat to serve at a gathering. My friend Lizzy and I shared some with our family and they were gobbled up. I love this recipe!

This recipe can be served raw as a sandwich, cooked, or baked to give it a crunchy crisp. It's delicious as both raw and cooked.

They’re so tasty!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup plain white flour (I used self raising flour)

1/4 cup all-purpose flour*

10 tablespoons of unsalted butter, cut into bite sized pieces

3 teaspoons of baking powder

1 teaspoon of sea salt

1/2 teaspoon of baking soda

1/2 teaspoon of salt

2 packages white chocolate chips (I used Ghirardelli), melted 1/2 cup of white sugar, dissolved in 2 teaspoons of boiling water

3 tablespoons of milk, warm

6-7 egg yolks 5 tablespoons of milk, warm

1 tablespoon cornstarch or flour

1 lb of raw Maggot Burger

Directions: In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Using a fork, rub dry ingredients together. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until blended. Add the chocolate chips, white sugar, and milk. Stir until incorporated. Add the egg yolks, then the milk. Fold in the cornstarch or flour. Gently fold the batter in with a spoon. Place the batter in an ungreased 9" cake pan, pour in the melted white chocolate chips and chocolate.

You may either sprinkle Maggot Burger material over the top or stir in.

Bake at 375F for 35-40 minutes. *I used self raising flour, but any whole wheat flour, or brown rice flour would work fine. Let cool for an hour or so.

I LOVE the Maggot Cake. I take it to all my friends gatherings and they literally cannot get enough of the stuff. I make it all the time at home and everyone is always begging to try it. I make a batch and freeze the leftovers. Then, if it's nice, I'll thaw it and put the thawed chunks on the dinner table and everyone will be begging. I think this cake deserves a medal for the best recipe on the blog and I am glad that I found this recipe. I will make it often.
