Cake Soccer Field

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Today I will share with you a recipe and tell you how to bake a Football field cake that I made as a gift for a young football player. The composition of the cake includes the well-known Zebra cake, (at the request of the birthday boy) which is very tasty, and in combination with fragrant impregnation and cream, just a delight for the festive table. So let's get started. We take the products we need.

2. Step 2:

   

   Beat eggs with sugar with a mixer until a thick white foam forms.

3. Step 3:

   

   Add sour cream and a teaspoon of slaked soda to the eggs.

4. Step 4:

   

   Without ceasing to beat, add the melted butter.

5. Step 5:

   

   Without ceasing to beat, we introduce the sifted flour and beat until a homogeneous mass is formed.

6. Step 6:

   

   Now we divide our dough neatly into two parts. Pour part into another bowl, add 2-3 tablespoons of cocoa to one part, and the same amount of flour to the second, mix. The dough is ready!

7. Step 7:

   

   We take a rectangular shape, since we need to get the shape of a football field, cover it with parchment paper and lubricate it with butter. Spoon out the white and black dough in turn.

8. Step 8:

   

   Preheat the oven to 200 degrees, and send the cake there for about 30-40 minutes.

9. Step 9:

   

   While our cake is blushing its sides, we will prepare the cream in the meantime. The cream is very simple and well-known - it is butter with condensed milk. Soft butter is beaten down.

10. Step 10:

    

    Gradually introduce condensed milk. We will need a lot of cream, since the cake will be decorated with it.

11. Step 11:

    

    Here our cake is ready, we take it out of the mold and let it cool down. Since I need a big cake to feed the whole football team, I baked another one. We cut it lengthwise and impregnate it with syrup (sugar and water, I added another vanilla flavor). We lubricate our cakes with cream and stack one on top of the other. With a knife, we carefully cut off the corners.

13. Step 12:

    

    Cuttings are crushed and mixed with a small amount of cream.

14. Step 13:

    

    It turns out the so-called potatoes, which we line the sides of the cake.

15. Step 14:

    

    We proceed directly to the design of the football field. With the help of a pastry syringe or a bag, we begin to decorate our field. First, we make the border of the field around the perimeter of the cake.

16. Step 15:

    

    Then divide the field in half and draw a circle in the center.

17. Step 16:

    

    Then decorate the sides of the cake.

18. Step 17:

    

    Add green dye to the remaining cream.

19. Step 18:

    

    Mix until a uniform color is obtained.

20. Step 19:

    

    Fill the top of the cake.

21. Step 20:

    

    This will be our grass on the field.

22. Step 21:

    

    Next, I put a gate made of icing, and put a ball made of mastic in the center.
