This Cake Has a Terrible Secret.
I’m not a huge fan of food-based pranks. Feeding people stuff without their consent is neither cute nor funny, but pulling out the old bait and switch can be fun (for you) if it happens before someone swallows something against their will.
This is a very devious way of saying that I am obsessed with this long egg pie and I think it should be iced and then used as retaliation. The joke is not that someone accidentally ate an egg – it won’t get that far. The joke is that someone thinks they are getting a piece of cake and after the cake is cut, they are greeted with a hard-boiled egg. Rough stuff.
Who would deserve this? What crimes should someone commit if the act of giving him a creepy egg loaf disguised as a cake is justified? It’s not for me to say. Maybe this is your last day at a really awful place and you want to voice your displeasure with your boss. Maybe your roommate won’t stop stealing your food (including real cakes). I am not a professor of ethics, so it’s hard for me to say what exactly would cause this deep and disturbing betrayal covered with glaze. All I can do is tell you how. You will need:
- At least 12 eggs (this should be enough for a 7-inch round cake pan, but you will need more for the bun).
- Non-stick cooking spray
- Pan
- Instant pot
- Glaze (or a lot of mayonnaise)
Lubricate the skillet with cooking spray and gently break the eggs into the skillet. Add one cup of water to the Instant Pot, place the cake holder inside, and place the egg cake pan on the rack. Close the Instant Pot and make sure the valve is set to “seal”. Cook the monster under high pressure for six minutes, remembering that you may need to add a couple more minutes if using more than a dozen eggs. When the loaf is done, release the pressure by hand, remove the instant egg tart and let cool completely.
Flip it over onto a pretty cake stand, then freeze. Will it be difficult? Yes, the balls are slippery, but with brute force and righteous anger, I think you can make this work. If necessary, you can lightly sand the surface of the bread with fine sandpaper. Once frozen, you can add edible flowers, sprinkle, and whatever – whatever to make it look more tempting. Present your cake to those who have wronged you (or your family), then dissolve into the night, or just skip really fast as if.
