I tried Tasty's WORST rated recipe | Stonska Torta
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
The Stonska Torta has earned infamy as Tasty’s worst rated recipe EVER…so you know I had to try it to find out if it was stonkin’ or stinkin’! This Croatian dessert could be named a “pasta cake” as that’s exactly what it’s made of - penne or ziti pasta along with nuts, chocolate, lemon and a whole lot of sugar!

For grating the chocolate, if you freeze it a bit first it stays solid a bit better. Also cut proof gloves (especially the chainmail ones) are great for when you have to grate stuff down to the very end.

We have some sweet dishes that involve pasta and I feel like a lot of people miss the fact that you're not supposed to salt the water you cook pasta in when you're planning to make something sweet with it 😅 then pasta is just neutral!

Honestly pasta tastes pretty neutral when it's cooked in salted water to me. Is a generous pinch less than most people use when cooking pasta? I don't measure it when I actually cook pasta, but I'd estimate it to be between one and two teaspoons for a whole pot of pasta.

If you don't salt the water, pasta isn't savory, it's neutral just like rice. I have a feeling a lot of people who made this cake had their leftover pasta salted 😅
You're settling into the new format nicely - you seem much more relaxed than the first one and the hand-held shots also mix it up well. Although the first one didn't grate (see what I did there) on me either. Stick with it!

Fun vanilla extract fact: because it's usually alcoholic, vanilla extract isn't always suitable for halal or other religious food restrictions. In that case, you have to use either vanillin sugar, or source vanilla extract made with food grade glycerin.

Hahahaha, hilarious and so entertaining, I love watching You, Mrs B and those beautiful Mr B Children, what a happy household 🥰.
I used to bake with my mom a lot growing up and was a very curious yet naive kid. I used to question what the vanilla extract tasted like, so my mom let me have a tiny taste. To say that i was devastated it didn't taste like ice cream would be the understatement of a century. Same thing happened with baking chocolate and also with Key Lime juice. I really thought the lime juice was going to taste like a lime slushie. I will not talk about trying buttermilk as you can probably imagine how that went. All of those experiments ended with me being disgusted and betrayed by the ingredient, yet still using it cause my parents would assure me it would turn out well. All this to say when Barry tried the vanilla extract I immediately went "NOOOO" from the deepest recesses of my soul lol
That icing sugar idea reminded me of one of my favorite qoutes of Rhett and Link: "Chocolate covers a world of hurt."

It's called a freezer. Makes the chocolate nicely hard and you can grate it as if you make wood wool. Also works for cheese. And for mince meat stuff like burger patties. (Not for grinding, just to get them easier in the pan)

@@mrbarrylewis That is something I've experienced several times when eating stuff like this from eastern Europe; they use so much less sugar and stuff than we that their deserts are almost savoury to my tastes. And when I've baked more traditional western European cakes my friends from eastern Europe often can't even eat them cause they find them way to sweet. I guess it's modern evidence of the historical events the past century.

A tip you could try for future versions ( can you barryize it?)put your chocolate in the freezer before grating or use a moulie grater so you don't have to handle it . Probably nice warm with ice-cream as it's a bit dry

Thank you for the recipe. Interestingly, this Croatian dessert seems to be a cross of Italian pasta-filled savoury pies and Central European sweet pasta dishes (such as Hungarian walnut pasta). No wonder it comes from Croatia, which is inbetween those two regions.

Pro tip: When you ave putting a full container in an oven and there is significant risk of spillover, either put it onto a cookie sheet or put a cookie sheet on the bottom rack. That way you catch all the overflow and don't leave a mess in the oven.
I really liked this video! I think this was a great balance if your style with the new camera work you've been trying. Thank you for taking the time to read the comments and blend the two ways together!
Serve this with whipped cream and/or Ice-cream to counter the dryness? I bet that would be great! I'd even cook the pasta in sweetened milk instead of the "leftover pasta" idea (although I like the whole prevent food-waste thought)

I can totally live with that though. I'm so glad you've been so open to feedback but still aim to have the main parts of your vision come together.
In the US, "baking chocolate" generally means "unsweetened."
You got the vanilla recipe down, Barry!! It's just vodka with a bunch of vanilla pods thown in and left to steep. I made a few bottles years ago and it's so strong it's nearly syrupy! Yum!
Love the little questions from the cameraman!
Barry: "Its still warm 2 hours later" Anthrax: "It was in the fridge... WHY IS IT HOT?!"

Hi Cam!!! Nice to meet you!
How do you make Irish spice bags
Barry if you make that "you can cover anything with icing" I would buy one for sure
I've done that. Because it's a bit dry I've added vanilla ice cream when it's warm or I'll add a syrup to it. Get it creamy it's delicious.

If you add sugar and lemon zest to the water you boil the pasta in, as well as the little bit of salt, it would probably elevate the whole dish because there wouldn't be such a taste difference between the chocolate and the plain pasta. I know people said not to add salt to the pasta, but if you do it the way I suggest you should add a pinch just because it will increase the other flavors.

That's a great point and one I agree with, I love trying new foods but appreciate that others like to stick with what they like and that's ok
I think, if you mix the nut mixture with the pasta everything gets coated. Then layer pasta nut mix and egg mixture. Or better yet, mix it all before adding to pastry in the pan. Similar to mixing apples for a pie. Also. Using smaller pasta pieces may work well. Also, use pecans instead of almonds. Btw love your videos UK vs USA ingredients.
Very late reply, egg yolk is an emulsifier, so mixing with the oil allows the oil to properly combine with the other fluids in the dough
Could you replace the pasta with rice?
I wonder if some vanilla cream wouldn't improve it?
Hello Cam, It is nice to put a face to the name and voice.
Barry get yourself a rotary grater for your chocolate! No chocolatey hands and yet another gadget for your drawer.
"Folks, it is a doomy glay!" 🤣
I love the way you say pasta 😂
I had a truly visceral reaction to that first shot of the cut. I love chocolate and pasta and nuts and lemon too, but the idea of them all together in one bite sounds... ugh lol
The editing and production on this one are a lot better than most of the recent ones. That dessert looks amazing to me and I would be very tempted to try it, even though I think I'm becoming allergic to nuts.
"It doesn't really matter what this looks like." But it looks like when in a horror movie someone has made a book out of human skin.
That is funny, I just started Homemade Vanilla extract. I made 3 with Vodka and 3 with Brandy. In 8 months they will be ready.
With the egg and vanilla and all the sugar, I was thinking maybe some kind of oddly textured French Toast vibe, but seeing Cam and Mrs. B's reactions, I don't suppose so.
Barry, you need the Zyliss cheese grater for your chocolate. Your hands won’t be near the chocolate… so… no melting! 🌹❣️Best gadget around.
