What is a bee sting torte? ›

A vanilla sponge layered and coated with honey cream, topped with honey glaze and Belgian chocolates.

Bienenstich (German pronunciation: [ˈbiːnənˌʃtɪç]) or bee sting cake is a German dessert cake made of a sweet yeast dough with a baked-on topping of caramelized almonds and filled with vanilla custard, buttercream or cream. The earliest German and Swiss recipes for the cake date to the beginning of the 20th century.

A foam cake (unshortened cake) is a light, airy, spongy cake with little or no fat. They have a high proportion of eggs to flour and are leavened primarily by air beaten into whole eggs or egg whites. Foam cakes include sponge, chiffon, meringue, and génoise.

Chiffon-type cakes are a combination of a batter-type and a foam-type cake. The resulting cake has a modified foam type texture and grain.

Some experts recommend scraping out the stinger with a credit card. Applying ice to the site may provide some mild relief. Apply ice for 20 minutes once every hour as needed. Wrap the ice in a towel or keep a cloth between the ice and the skin to avoid freezing the skin.

Descriptions of the most painful examples were given, e.g.: "Paraponera clavata stings induced immediate, excruciating pain and numbness to pencil-point pressure, as well as trembling in the form of a totally uncontrollable urge to shake the affected part."

Created in Jamaica where the dessert is called the doctor bird cake (or Dr. Bird cake), it is named after the island's national bird, the scissors-tail hummingbird (locally known as the doctor bird).

Oil Cake. Oil cakes follow the same principles as butter cakes, but use oil as the source of fat. Because oil is liquid at room temperature, oil cake recipes skip the step of creaming the fat and sugar; usually the oil is incorporated into the wet ingredients, which are whisked or folded into the dry ingredients.

Meter cake or meter-long cake is a bicolor loaf-shaped cake made from yellow and brown sponge cake layered with buttercream or pudding and covered with a chocolate topping. It is baked in a baking tin in the shape of a "roe deer back" and served cut into slices.

What happens if you put extra eggs in a cake? ›

Eggs also contain a variety of proteins that create the structure of a cake, and when beaten, they can act as a leavening agent by adding air to the cake batter. However, if you add too many eggs to your cake batter, then your end result could be spongy, rubbery, or dense.

Sponge, Genoise, Angel Food cakes, Chiffon, Biscuit (French), and some Flourless cakes are known as Foam, Sponge or Unshortened cakes because they contain a large proportion of foamed eggs and/or egg whites to a lesser proportion of sugar and very little wheat flour, if used at all.

Every angel food cake has to be cooled upside down in the pan. Why? Until the cake is completely cooled, its spongy structure hasn't set. Flipping it upside down makes sure it doesn't collapse during that process.

Chiffon Cake

The egg whites are whipped to soft peaks and folded into a mixture of yolks, sugar, oil, flour, and flavorings. Like Angel Food Cakes, Chiffon Cakes are baked in an ungreased tube pan to allow the batter to cling to the sides of the pan as it rises.

Tortes are generally multilayered desserts and tend to contain not just cake and frosting but jam, mousse, whipped toppings, and other fillings. Due to a lack of flour, tortes tend to be denser and heavier than their cake counterparts, and they often don't rise as tall as regular cakes do.

They usually live on their own in tunnels that they bore into wood. The male carpenter bee cannot sting. They may buzz threateningly at you, but this is a bluff. While the female bee can sting, it is very rare unless they are significantly provoked.

These stings will look like a bad mosquito bite, with swelling at the bite site. The area will be red, the center may be white and there may be a small brown stinger still in your skin. A welt may also form. Large local reactions – Large local reactions are the second most common.

Sweat bees are typically smaller than other kinds of bees. However, their stings can cause similar signs and symptoms. Get urgent medical help if you're allergic to bee stings, or if you get stung more than once at a time.
