Warhol and Pineapple

Wild Raspberries by Andy Warhol and Suzie Frankfurt, 1997 USA






“Wild Raspberries is first and foremost a work of art, and the ‘recipes’ contained herein are not for ingestion and should be read in the humorous spirit in which they were created" The authors. 

This is my interpretation of Warhol and Frankfurt's Torte, I thought I'd give it a go using cake  for the layers as this recipe didn't sound too inedible! And it was great fun. Such a gorgeous book! Anne

Torte a la Dobosch

“Run down to Dick Camp’s and buy an old wire wisk. Beat 6 eggs and ½ cup sugar until thick and then a ½ cup flower sifted 7 tablespoons strong black coffee. Add 5 egg whites stiffly beaten and bake in 12 spring form molds, on the top layer spread an orange form molds, and orange glaze and slices of fresh pineapple. Decorate with a red sweetheart rose made from spun sugar and Dr Martins dye. Set the cake for at least 14 hours before serving and hang the wire wisk above the rotisserie”

  1. Excellent read, I just passed this into a colleague who was doing a little research on that. And he actually bought me lunch because I found it for him smile So let me rephrase that.
