Cake for 18 years
Description
Homemade treats for tea. Let's prepare a special holiday cake. Start with a nutty sponge cake – beat egg whites with powdered sugar, add ground nuts and flour, mix well and bake in the oven. Cool the baked sponge on a wire rack, then cut it into layers. Prepare a strawberry cream by mixing mashed strawberries with mascarpone. From the strawberry puree, cook a syrup for soaking the layers, and use it immediately. Then fill the layers with the cream and chocolate ganache, and refrigerate the cake for a couple of hours. Now it's time to decorate. Roll out the fondant, cut a circle and place it on top. Next, tint the fondant yellow, roll it out, press it onto a silicone mat with a pattern, then attach it to the sides of the cake. Place pre-made decorations, also made from fondant, on top. Enjoy your celebration! Serve with tea or coffee.
