What is the crack cake?

crack cake is a sweet experience whose creation is generally attributed to Christina Tosi, chefs at the restaurant David Chang's Momofuku Milk Bar in New York. She claims that she invented a cake in another local restaurant, WD-50, as part of an experiment in the production of cakes. The name is allegedly based on its addictive quality, such as the popular street narcotic, not on its ingredients or appearance. He said he didn't know his ingredients, just that it was very sweet and addictive. He also revealed the name of the restaurant from which she came, which was also where she was baked. The show represented the history of Momofuku Milk Bar and Chang and Tosi created a cake at the exhibition. Stewart later created a dessert for her show and broadcast step by step instructions for viewers to duplicate it at home.

In the same year magazineNew York named Crack Pie The Best Pie of the Year. The alleged original recipe was published in newspapers and magazines around the world and many versions have been scattered throughout the Internet. Reviews of Home Bakers' attempts to restore confectionery were mixed, although most of the disappointed results in appearance and taste.

reports that crack Pie was just another version of the very old southern cake called chess cake quickly expanded. The ingredients in the chess cake are very similar: brown sugar, white sugar, corn flour, eggs and butter. It seems to be a unique crack cake, an oat base of a cookie, which is located on the top of the unstable bark at the bottom of the cake pan before adding the filling. Since the only recognizable crack in the cake can sometimes be found on the caramelized surface of the cake, when it cools down, the name is still widely considered to be the obsession of its fans.
