Description
The pastry is simple and quick to prepare. Choosing a cake recipe for your boss's birthday can be quite challenging. It should be moderately sweet, elegant, and have a special touch. 1. First, bake the cake layer. To prepare it, beat egg yolks with sugar (150–180 grams). 2. Mix cocoa with coffee and add water. Place over heat, bring to a boil, then let it cool slightly. 3. Pour this mixture into the yolks and mix well. Add vegetable oil. 4. Sift flour together with baking soda and baking powder. Gradually add to the batter and beat thoroughly. 5. Separately, beat 8 egg whites with 50 grams of sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold them into the batter in 3–4 additions, mixing carefully. 6. Pour the batter into a baking pan and place in a preheated oven. Once baked, cool the cake layer on a wire rack for at least 3–4 hours. 7. Rub the cottage cheese through a sieve thoroughly. 8. Add cream and whip until smooth. 9. Add powdered sugar and mix well. 10. Cut the sponge cake into 3 layers. Spread cream on one layer and add berries. Top with the second layer and repeat the process. 11. Once the cake is assembled, cover it with buttercream made from whipped butter and condensed milk. Place in the refrigerator for 2–3 hours. 12. This time is sufficient to prepare and roll out the fondant. 13. A homemade birthday cake for your boss should be kept simple. Cover the cake with fondant, smoothing the top and sides. Trim off any excess. 14. Melt chocolate over a water bath and draw decorative elements of your choice onto parchment paper. 15. Once the chocolate has fully hardened, transfer the decorations onto the cake, attaching them with liquid chocolate. The pastry is ready. Serve at the table.
