Ladybug Cake
Hello Dear Friends,
This week's recipe is a cute ladybug that you can prepare especially at birthday parties :)
Making sugar paste cake, also known as boutique cake, is quite easy. After you prepare the cake and create the cake, everything is up to your imagination.
I buy the sugar paste from the cake shops. There are many color options out there, but if you want, you can buy white paste and give it the colors you want with gel paints.
I used a cup mold while preparing the cake. Cupola molds are hemispherical, some call it adisababa mold. I think the prices start around 6-7 liras, I don't know exactly because I've been using the same pattern for 5-6 years.
I used whipped cream for your cake, but if you want, you can also prepare pastry cream according to this recipe.
Ladybug cake, the last recipe of the lucky recipes I prepared for N11, bring good luck to all of us!
Love…
Ingredients for Ladybug Cake Recipe
- 6 medium egg
- 170 gr granulated sugar
- 100 g flour
- 40 g starch
- 40 g cocoa
- 1 packaged vanilla
How to Make Ladybug Cake Recipe?
- Separate the whites and yolks of the eggs.
- Beat the egg yolks with 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar until the sugar dissolves.
- Add the remaining sugar to the egg whites and beat at high speed until 3 times. Carefully add the whisked egg yolks to the whites.
- Sift together the flour, starch, vanilla and cocoa.
- Add the sifted dry mixture 3 times with a spatula from bottom to top so that the swelled egg whites do not deflate.
- Pour the mixture into the cupola mold. Bake at 180 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
For the pie filling:
- 1 pack of whipped cream 1 glass of milk
- 2 bananas or 1 cup chopped strawberries
For the coating of the cake:
- Black, white and red sugar paste
Preparation of the Cake:
- Wait until the sponge cake you have cooked comes to room temperature.
- Remove the completely cooled sponge cake from the mold and divide it into 3 equal parts.
- Prepare 1 pack of whipped cream by whipping it with milk. Slice the fruits you will use in equal thicknesses.
- Prepare the inside of the cake by placing equal amounts of whipped cream and sliced fruit on each layer.
- Cover the sponge cake with the cream overflowing from the edges. At this point, you can use chocolate ganache if you want.
- Roll out the red candy dough large enough to cover the cake on the counter where you sprinkle starch or lightly powdered sugar. (not thinner than half an inch)
- Spread the ganache or whipped cream you prepared on the cake with the help of a spatula.
- Put the opened red sugar paste on the cake and cover the cake by smoothing it with your hands.
- Roll out the black sheer dough on the counter where you have laid some starch or powdered sugar. Cut out one large circle and one small circle from the rolled dough.
- Cut 2 pieces of white dough and set aside to form eyes.
- Prepare the ladybug by sticking the sugar paste you cut on the cake you covered with the help of water or glucose and serve it.
Your hands look great. In my hand, there is the number 3 of the cupola, also known as adisababa. Is this sponge cake size suitable for the mold in this number?
