This cake is not only delicious but also a true work of art that will bring smiles and joy to the faces of our loved ones. Let’s get started!
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 30-45 minutes
Total time: 1 hour
Number of servings: 8-10
Ingredients:
- 8 large eggs
- 8 tablespoons of sugar
- 8 tablespoons of flour
- 1 liter of vegetable whipped cream
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar
- Food coloring (preferably gel)
- Various decorations (meringues, colorful candies)
- A Barbie doll (or another favorite doll with detachable legs)
Step 1: Preparing the cake layers
Start by carefully separating the eggs, ensuring that no yolks remain in the whites. It is essential that the egg whites are free of any grease to achieve a perfect foam. Use a clean, dry bowl to beat the egg whites with a mixer on medium speed until they form a firm foam. Gradually add the sugar and vanilla sugar, continuing to mix until the sugar is completely dissolved and the foam becomes glossy.
Helpful tips:
- Make sure the eggs are at room temperature for easier whipping.
- Use a quality mixer to achieve perfect foam.
Step 2: Combining the ingredients
When the egg white foam is ready, carefully add the yolks one by one, gently folding with a spatula to avoid losing air in the mixture. Finally, fold in the sifted flour with delicate movements to keep the mixture fluffy.
Step 3: Baking the layers
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Prepare a round cake pan or a baking dish by lining it with parchment paper. Pour the mixture into the pan and bake for 30-45 minutes, depending on your oven's power. The cake is ready when it turns golden and passes the toothpick test - insert a toothpick in the center, and if it comes out clean, the cake is perfect.
Step 4: Cooling the layers
After baking, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a cooling rack to cool completely. It is important to let the cake cool well before cutting it so that it doesn’t crumble.
Step 5: Preparing the whipped cream
While the cake cools, whip the vegetable cream according to the instructions on the package. If you wish to color the cream, add a few drops of food coloring and gently mix until you achieve the desired shade. Use a mixer to obtain a fluffy yet firm whipped cream.
Step 6: Assembling the cake
Once the cake layer has completely cooled, cut it into 3-4 horizontal slices. Place the first slice on a platter and add a generous layer of whipped cream. Continue to add slices and whipped cream until all layers are assembled.
Step 7: Decorating the cake
Here comes the fun part! Cover the entire surface of the cake with whipped cream, shaping it to look like an elegant skirt. Place the Barbie doll in the center of the cake, making sure to dress her beautifully. If the doll has legs, you can make a small hole in the cake to secure her better.
Serving tips:
- Use meringues and colorful candies to decorate the cake's "skirt."
- You can also add fresh fruits or grated chocolate for an even more attractive appearance.
Attention to detail:
Ensure that each layer of whipped cream is well distributed and that the decorations are evenly placed for a uniform and pleasing appearance.
Frequently asked questions:
