Cooking cakes
The basis of our cake will be a classic biscuit:
- Break eggs into a cup, pour sugar afterwards and beat this mass until it whitens and tripled.
- Then, through a fine sieve, sift the flour and mix it properly with beaten eggs.
- Melt the butter in the microwave and pour the dough into the future, mix until smooth.
- Pour the resulting mass into 2 identical forms of small diameter and bake in the oven on the middle shelf at a temperature of 180 ° C for about 20-25 minutes.
With a toothpick or a match, you can check if the cake is ready - it should be dry after immersion in the cake.
Cooking cream
Now prepare the cream:
- Put a small pan on the fire, stir in it with a whisk milk and flour and bring to a boil. Remove the pan from the stove and cool.
- Soften the butter, add sugar and vanillin to it and beat with a mixer for 5 minutes until a homogeneous, lush consistency.
- Add the cooled milk with flour to this mass and whisk again thoroughly until the consistency of whipped cream.
Cooking Marzipan Figures
Take 2 colors of food coloring: red and green. From red we will make berries, from green - leaves.
Mash marzipan by adding powdered sugar into it so that it acquires the necessary elasticity. Divide the mixture into two parts. Mix one with red dye and the other with green. The dye should be added dropwise and knead carefully after that, achieving uniform staining.
Make strawberry berries from red marzipan (what a Luntik cake without your favorite Luntik berries!), And from green - leaves and collect them together. They will decorate our cake.
Collect cake
Take the cooled biscuit cakes and thread each into 2 identical, thinner cakes. Then prepare a tray for the cake and lay the first cake on it. Grease it with butter cream, and on top lay the second one and so on until all the cakes are saturated with cream.
Evenly apply a layer of cream on the top cake and smooth it. Cream cake "Luntik" is almost ready!
Decorate the cake
For the Luntik cake, we need a ready-made image of a cartoon character on paper that needs to be cut along the contour. It should not be larger than the diameter of the cake:
- Attach the resulting template in the center of the upper cake and carefully circle it with a toothpick.
- Remove the template, the silhouette drawing should remain on the cake.
- Draw the eyes, nose, mouth, and other important details.
- Melt the chocolate and draw all the contours of Luntik on the cake.
- Mix part of the cream with pink dye and gently paint over our figure to make Luntik look like a real one. Color the eyes and mouth with the desired color of food coloring.
- Mix part of the cream with a light green dye. Take a confectionery syringe, pump the resulting cream into it and use the “star” nozzle to apply it on the sides of the cake with a snake to make something like grass.
- Put the marzipan berries on the cake, sprinkle it with edible confetti, you can use sprinkles for Easter cakes.
Luntik cake is ready. Bon Appetit!
