So, to prepare the dough, you need to grind the egg yolks with white sugar, and then add the whipped whites to the steep foam. Having received a lush homogeneous mass, flour, as well as soda, slaked with vinegar should be added to it.
In order to get a beautiful “Ship” cake, for baking cake, it is necessary to use a not very wide, but deep rectangular shape. It needs to be greased with vegetable oil, and then filled with biscuit dough about two-thirds of its volume (the dough will rise). It is recommended to bake a soft and lush product for 56 minutes at a temperature of 200 degrees.
After the cake is ready, it should be carefully removed from the dishes, put on the board and completely cooled.
Make butter cream
A cake in the form of a ship turns out to be especially tasty if oil cream is used for its preparation . For him, you need to purchase high-quality butter and soften it thoroughly. Next, the product must be thoroughly whipped with a mixer, gradually adding condensed milk to it. To make the cream brown, add a few tablespoons of cocoa to it.
We form a dessert
To make the “Ship” cake, it is necessary to give the baked biscuit a shape that will fully correspond to its name. To do this, the rectangular cake needs to be divided in half along, and then cut two corners, forming a stern. From the pieces you need to make the sides of the ship and so on.
After all the details are cut out, they should be fastened using a cream. They also need to lubricate the already formed dessert.
Cooking Frosting
Cake "Ship" is recommended to properly douse with chocolate icing. To prepare it, you need to combine all the necessary ingredients, and then slightly warm them up over a fire.
Having prepared the icing, it should be doused with the whole dessert and placed in the cold. In the future, the “Ship” must be decorated with confectionery sprinkles, as well as the masts (use sticks for barbecue for them) along with sails (they can be cut out of white paper).
Before presenting an unusual treat to the festive table, it should be kept in the refrigerator for several hours. Serving guests a homemade cake in the form of a ship is desirable, along with a cup of tea.

To do this, beat large eggs with sugar, and then add slaked soda, honey and put in a water bath. Brew the ingredients for about ¼ hour. Next, they need to add a glass of flour and stand on the stove for a couple of minutes. After this, the egg mass should be removed from the heat. After adding the rest of the flour to it, you should get a cool and dark place, which is recommended to be placed in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
After the named time has passed, the base should be divided into 8 pieces, rolled into a layer, greased with butter, and then cut out the necessary details (stern, sides, etc.). In the future, they must be baked in the oven (for 25 minutes).

What does the Ship cake look like? Photos of this dessert should be kept in front of you if you are preparing it for the first time. Then you will surely succeed.
Cream for this treat is made as easily and quickly as in the previous recipe. To do this, combine the condensed milk and butter, and then beat them well.

If you want to get mastic not dark, but white, then cocoa is not necessary to add. We suggest you make a mastic of two colors.
The process of forming a homemade cake
After preparing all the components of our ship, you can safely engage in the formation of dessert. To do this, on a flat cake plate, it is necessary to lay out all honey cakes in turn, lubricating them with oil cream. On top of the dessert should also be covered with cream. After that, it is necessary to decorate it with chocolate and white mastic. As a result of such actions, you should get a homemade cake, which will be very similar to a toy ship.
Make masts and sails the same way as in the previous recipe. Another ship can be decorated with glazed sweets, which will serve as portholes.
We serve an unusual dessert to the table correctly
As you can see, making a cake from mastic in the form of a ship is quite easy. The main thing is to follow the sequence of the recipe. After the chocolate vessel is ready, it is recommended to send it to the cold. After a few hours, it will be fully usable.
