Ingredients for the Trolls Cake
If you have plans to organize a holiday for children, then you need to take care of the safety and harmlessness of the treats on the children's table. Therefore, we offer you a recipe for the Trolls cake, which you can completely safely feed all children at the holiday. So you will need:
- 6 eggs;
- 1 tbsp. flour;
- 1 tbsp. Sahara;
- 1 tbsp. l drain. oils;
- 1 tsp soda, slaked with lemon juice.
For cream and decoration, there are many different options. For example, for an unmanned Trolls cake, you can use cream cheese, consisting of butter, curd cheese and powdered sugar. If you want to cover the cake with mastic, then for the layer of cakes, you can choose a cream of sour cream and sugar, protein or cream.
Also, to fill the children's cake, you can use fresh fruits: pineapples, bananas and peaches.
Baking and assembly process
First you need to bake cakes of classic biscuit. You can bake one whole biscuit and cut it into three identical cake layers, which will require considerable skill from you. Therefore, it is better to use a culinary scale, measuring out three parts of the dough and bake them alternately. It is more convenient to use a detachable form, lining its bottom with baking paper, which you will change after each cake. So you do not have to wait for the mold to cool and wash it three times.
Another secret of baking flat cake is to grease the form with butter and lightly sprinkle with flour. This method is also called the "French shirt" - it allows you to easily extract the biscuit from the mold without any damage.
Ready cakes must be completely cooled, wrapped in cling film and sent to the refrigerator for the whole night - so they will become more juicy. By the way, the ingredients for the cream cheese should also be very cold so that the cream can keep its shape while decorating the cake.
Assembling a cake is a fairly easy process if you manage to bake the same and even cakes. Small bulges on them can be cut with a knife, but do it very carefully. To prevent the first cake from sliding on the tray, drip a little cream under it. Next, soak the cake with sweet syrup or fruit juice, grease it with cream and spread the first portion of finely chopped fruit. Then firmly press it on top with the second cake and repeat the manipulations with impregnation, cream and fruit. The third cake is not impregnated, since in a drier form it is better to retain its shape. It is simply covered with the most even layer of cream for subsequent decoration with mastic or fruits and troll figures.
Design options
As we said above, there are many different ways to design a holiday cake. Recently, cakes decorated with mastic have been losing their popularity and are being replaced by unmanned goodies. However, it is quite difficult to make a troll figure from the cream, so for this purpose it is quite possible to use a small amount of mastic.
The troll Rosochka became especially beloved cartoon character . Cakes with this heroine are especially popular among little sweet tooth. You can try to create troll figures yourself (this will require considerable perseverance and talent for drawing and modeling) or purchase ready-made ones in almost any pastry shop.
