Birthday cake with a delicate sponge cake and a sand layer

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   To prepare a delicious cake with a delicate sponge cake and shortbread cakes, we prepare the necessary products. We put two hundred and fifty grams of sour cream in a saucepan, add eighty grams of sugar, one chicken egg, twenty-five grams of starch sifted through a sieve and mix all the ingredients well until smooth.

2. Step 2:

   

   Bring the cream to a boil in a saucepan, putting it on the stove and stirring continuously, then add the vanilla essence on the tip of the knife and mix. We set aside the cream in a saucepan to cool and cover with a plastic bag.

3. Step 3:

   

   Prepare the shortbread dough and put a hundred grams of butter in a deep bowl. Add eighty grams of sugar, two chicken yolks to the softened butter in a bowl and grind all the ingredients well with a mixer. Sift one hundred and fifty grams of flour through a sieve, add vanilla on the tip of a knife, a pinch of salt, a third of a teaspoon of soda, which was extinguished with lemon juice and knead the dough.

4. Step 4:

   

   Knead well forming an elastic dough with your hands and collect it into a lump.

5. Step 5:

   

   Divide the resulting lump into two parts, which we roll out with a rolling pin on the mold.

6. Step 6:

   

   We send the rolled cakes to the oven preheated to two hundred and twenty degrees for ten minutes and carefully remove them from the mold when they cool completely.

7. Step 7:

   

   Prepare the chocolate ganache and pour the white chocolate into a saucepan on a water bath, stir and melt it completely. Add one hundred and twenty-five grams of butter, which we dissolve and mix with chocolate.

8. Step 8:

   

   Beat with a mixer to an elastic homogeneous mass and get a ready-made chocolate ganache.

9. Step 9:

   

   Prepare sour cream and put a hundred grams of butter in a bowl and beat with a mixer until white. Spread all the sour cream base from the saucepan to the oil one tablespoon at a time and mix until smooth.

11. Step 10:

    

    Cut the pre-prepared sponge cake into three cakes and put a little cream on a festive plate and carefully spread the first one. We apply a good layer of cream on top of the biscuit and distribute it evenly with a spatula.

12. Step 11:

    

    We spread the shortbread cake on top of the cream and lubricate it with a thin layer of strawberry jam, then we spread the second biscuit on it and apply the cream on it, which we distribute evenly.

13. Step 12:

    

    We spread the shortbread evenly on top, on which we apply more strawberry jam. We finish with the third sponge cake, on which we apply the remaining cream and distribute it on top. Then we put the cake in the refrigerator for thirty minutes.

14. Step 13:

    

    Chocolate ganache, which has been stabilized, is beaten with a mixer one more time and applied in an even layer on top of the cake, leveled with a spatula and lubricated the sides, which are also leveled.

15. Step 14:

    

    Roll out the mastic into a thin two-three millimeter layer, which we then smooth out and spread on the cake with a rolling pin.

16. Step 15:

    

    Gently iron the mastic on top with an iron.

17. Step 16:

    

    We tighten the sides of the cake and carefully cut off the remaining mastic.

18. Step 17:

    

    We paint the remaining mastic with blue dye, knead and roll out to the required thickness and cut out the necessary figures and letters with numbers.
