I had a couple months of being incredibly ill that started near the end of 2015 and I’m finally catching up to all the wonderful recipes I missed.
Tiger cakes are little chewy egg-white based nuggets of chocolatey almond flavor.Nothing too complicated about the ingredients. I was initially worried these might be too bland or unbalanced with the intense chocolate and light egg white.The ingredients came together quickly. I was pretty surprised how simple it was and I even cheated a little by chopping my chocolate in the food processor.
This may have let to my final cakes having more of a mottled look than a tiger striped look but since I was planning on dunking them in chocolate it didn’t matter much.The end result was chewy with intense chocolate goodness. The texture actually held up well for a few days. The tiger cakes were pretty great and I’m feeling relieved to get on the road to catching up.

Delicious, especially with that shiny glaze! I liked these a lot and can see making them again for sure.
Sorry to hear that you have been ill. Your choc-dipped tiger cakes look terrific.
I hope you are feeling better and look forward to seeing you more on Tuesdays. I remember my tiger cakes did not look very stripped either but they were good.
Those look gorgeous. I’m sorry you were ill, but I’m glad you’re on the mend. I’ve only taken part in TwD sporadically, so these are on my catch-up list. Your photos make me want to get them off that list right away!
