Una Torta difícil de Olvidar..! || A Family Anecdote

Mientras observo esta imagen no puedo evitar recordar las tardes de mi juventud en la época universitaria, tenía como costumbre merendar con tortas que hacía yo misma los fines de semana, me disponía a hornear un panque de vainilla con chocolate, y la acompañaba con su acostumbrado vaso de leche bien fría, en esa época ya mi hermana mayor se había casado por lo que me encargaba de hacerla yo sola, fui perfeccionando la receta, ajustando las cantidades y poco a poco resultaban unos panques bien esponjosos que no duraban ni dos días en la nevera; recuerdo que una tarde llego de visita unas de mis tías y se asombró de ver lo rica que me quedaban las tortas y me encargo hacerle una para mi prima que estaba próxima a cumplir años pero solo de chocolate, ya que era su sabor favorito, muy complacida acepte hacerle el encargo, pero le aclare que yo no experta decorando las tortas, por lo que ella se iba a encargar de esa parte.

Bueno les cuento que ese día en particular yo no sé qué paso, pero todo me salió al revés no sé si era la presión de que la torta debía quedar perfecta que me esmere tanto en medir los ingredientes, cernir hasta tres veces la harina y el chocolate, que batí en exceso la mantequilla con la azúcar que la torta no me levanto, y me ha quedado pesada yo no encontraba que hacer, ya que me había comprometido y mi tía me había dado todos los ingredientes, mi mamá al verla me dijo la podemos arreglar, ya que mi madre es muy optimista y como aún teníamos tiempo acepte la sugerencia de mi mamá, que era desmenuzarla de nuevo y colocarle más ingredientes y batir de nuevo, ja ja, ja una locura ahora que lo veo con detenimiento, obviamente obtuve el mismo resultado y aunque se cocinó un poquito más quedo tipo brownie para decirlo en términos más bonitos.

Al final no me quedo de otra que irle a comprar una tota a mi prima y dársela de regalo de cumpleaños y desde ahí no me comprometo hacerles tortas a nadie, solo las hago para merendar en familia, ya que los nervios en la cocina no perdonan, me alegro haber compartido esta vivencia con ustedes agradeciendo a @lanzjoseg por su acostumbrada iniciativa de Observa, Piensa y Escribe, invitándolos a participar también en especial a @marigerp88 y @yasmarit , acá les dejo el link para que se enteren de todos los detalles sobre como participar, hasta una nueva oportunidad y que esta semana que está por iniciar sea de bendiciones para todos ustedes.

English Version

While I look at this image I can not help but remember the afternoons of my youth in my university days, I used to snack with cakes that I made myself on weekends, I would bake a vanilla pancake with chocolate, and accompanied it with the usual glass of cold milk, at that time my older sister was already married so I was in charge of making it myself, I was perfecting the recipe, adjusting the quantities and little by little they were very fluffy pancakes that did not last two days in the fridge; I remember that one afternoon one of my aunts came to visit and was amazed to see how delicious my cakes were and she asked me to make one for my cousin who was about to have her birthday but only chocolate, since it was her favorite flavor, very pleased I accepted the order, but I clarified that I was not an expert in decorating cakes, so she was going to take care of that part.

I don't know what happened that day in particular, but everything went upside down, I don't know if it was the pressure that the cake had to be perfect, I took so much care in measuring the ingredients, sifting the flour and the chocolate three times, that I beat the butter with the sugar so much that the cake didn't rise, and it was heavy, I couldn't find what to do, since I had committed myself and my aunt had given me all the ingredients, My mom when she saw it told me that we could fix it, since my mother is very optimistic and since we still had time I accepted my mom's suggestion, which was to crumble it again and add more ingredients and beat it again, ha ha ha, crazy now that I look at it carefully, obviously I got the same result and although it was cooked a little bit more it turned out like a brownie to put it in nicer terms.

In the end I had no choice but to go buy a cake for my cousin and give it to her as a birthday gift and since then I do not commit myself to make cakes to anyone, I only make them to snack with the family, since the nerves in the kitchen do not forgive, I am glad to have shared this experience with you thanking @lanzjoseg for his usual initiative of Observa, Think and Write, inviting you to participate also especially @marigerp88 and @yasmarit , here I leave the link to find out all the details on how to participate, until a new opportunity and that this week that is about to begin will be of blessings for all of you.
