Seems like Jenny Han is not only serving us with the best season of The Summer I turned Pretty but also introducing us to some unique sweet treats. From Conrad’s Dirt Bombs Muffins to Jeremiah’s Two-Tier Mirror Glaze cake I think we are getting some more treats.
After episode 5 of The Summer I turned pretty my for you pages and feeds are flooded with Jeremiah’s dream wedding cake aka Two Tier Mirror Glaze Cake. Honestly, I had no idea what that is until I searched it up and later found it on my fyps.
So here is what I have gathered about the cake and the recipe and I am also hoping Jenny Han makes a baking video like making a baking video of “Jeremiah’s Two-Tier Mirror Glaze Cake” with Gavin and Lola. just like She made dirt bombs muffins with Chris and Gavin.
What is a Mirror Glaze Cake?
A mirror glaze cake is a shiny, almost reflective dessert that you would see in French patisserie. The glaze is a gelatin mix with sugar and cocoa (or white chocolate to add colors). It is poured warm on a chilled cake producing the glossy mirror finish. It is essentially the auras of Jeremiah: flashy, as well as attention seeking but at the same time adorable.
As per Jeremiah’s description the cake was – “two-tier dark chocolate cake with a raspberry coulis filling and a mirror glaze on top.”
He also specifies the chocolate part which ended up going viral as a meme audio.
“Belly,cacao is the bean. It’s what chocolate is made of. The whole flavor profile depends on the bitterness of the dark chocolate and the sweet tartness of the raspberry.”
Let’s get to the recipe now!
Ingredients You’ll Need (Everything Available on Amazon)
For the Dark Chocolate Cake:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup cocoa powder (70% dark cacao if you want Jeremiah-level fancy)
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- ¾ cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs + 2 egg yolks
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup hot coffee (trust me, this deepens the chocolate flavor!)
For the Raspberry Coulis Filling:
- 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
For the Mirror Glaze:
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup water
- 2 ½ teaspoons powdered gelatin (bloomed in 3 tablespoons water)
Step-by-Step Process for Mirror Glaze Cake :
Step 1: Preheat the oven and make the Cakes. Bake at 350 degrees (175C) until done (1 hour once foil is removed). Grease and line two 8 inc cake pans (later you will put them one on top of another). Whisk flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a bowl. In a separate bowl, cream sugar, oil, eggs, yolks, and vanilla. Add dry ingredients in the alternating order with buttermilk and coffee. Bake for 30 -35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Step 2: Raspberry Coulis : Place raspberries, sugar and lemon juice in a saucepan. Until berries break down (about 10 minutes). Strain seeds. Cool completely.
Step 3: Put the Cake together. Cut the cakes in half to make four layers. Moisten layers with a raspberry coulis between each one. Put into two layers (one small one large). Crumb coat with chocolate buttercream, on option. Chill well.
Step 4 : To Create The Mirror Glaze :
In a saucepan, combine sugar, cocoa powder, cream, and water and whisk until the mixture is simmering. Remove to come to room temperature and whisk in bloomed gelatin until smooth. Pull and leave way to cool to 95F (this cannot be overlooked).
Step 5 : Glaze the cake. Put the chilled cake on a rack over a tray. Gently, pour the glaze over the top to trickle down the sides. Do not handle it after it has dried- shine is everything!
Andddddd, that is THAT! -jeremiah Two Tier Mirror Glaze Wedding Cake from Cousins Beach directly into your kitchen. It is somewhat melodramatic, somewhat heart-rending, and altogether memorable as is Season 3. I think through some sort of low-key psychic power that Jenny Han had, she knew after this season everyone will be baking. So I wouldn’t be mad at her writing a cookbook either.
Excuse my slicing myself a piece and rewatching Episode 5 and sobbing over my chocolate cake.
