Practice drawing circles on something else first. It's easier to draw circles and then set the cherries in them. So kind of try to strategically frost the cake so smaller pecan pieces are on the sides and the bigger chunks are on top.ĥ.] The final touches-cherries and icing. The pecan pieces can be heavy so you don't want to put any enormous chunks on the sides or the frosting will slide down. Then stack the second cake layer on top of the frosting.Ĥ.] Then start frosting the outside of the cake. Make sure to conserve enough frosting to frost the outside of the cake as well. The cake is two layers, so start by sparingly frosting only the top of one of the layers. Add chocolate syrup to darken the frosting.ģ.] Frost the cake with a rubbe spatula. Chop up the Pecans in a food processor if you have one to make them more bite sized and managable.Ģ.] Add in the roasted pecans and some coconut flakes and mix it into the premade frosting with a spatula.

The frosting is a pale tan color and the frosting on the cake in portal is a much darker brown, so just add chocolate syrup to darken and eyeball it for screen accuracy. If you want an easier frosting, I suggest just buying two cans of the premade Coconut Pecan Frosting. (If the cake came out domed, eventually gravity will do it's work and it will flatten out.) Wait for the cake to cool completely before you frost it (or the frosting will melt.) Run a rubber spatula around the edge of the cake, then flip the cake pan upside down onto a flat surface. Check frequently.ĥ.] Wait 10 minutes for cake to cool before dumping it out of the pan.

If there is a cracked fissure on top of the cake it is most likely done (even overdone). Fork it if it's done the fork will come out clean. Dump the batter into the two pans.Ĥ.] Bake about 30 minutes. This will give the cake a weird chocolate chip cookie feel to it.
The mixture should be a bit thick, like frosting.ģ.] For extra chocolately goodness, mix some chocolate chips into the batter.

The cake had to look like the cake in the game, taste amazing, and be simple enough for even an inexperienced baker to make without being boring cake mix box cake. I set out to make a recipe for a Portal cake, but not something complicated. Planet Fortress has the ingredients picked out of yellow text, and an orb in the boss fight also rambles a list of random ingredients, heavily emphasizing the rhubarb ( mp3 found here.)
