Hello everyone
Today is March 25. Our beloved 12th anniversary with my beloved husband.
I prepared a surprise cake for my wife for this beautiful day. I could actually buy a cake. I wanted to prepare it with my hands for this special day.
I have baked the cake I made today several times before. However, the best cake was the cake I baked for today. Maybe I was more envious this time.
Exactly 12 years ago today, my husband and I decided to be lovers. It might be the best decision I've ever made in my life. This beautiful decision has given me the most precious parts of my life, my dear daughters.
I got up and prepared this cake very early in the morning. My husband goes to work at 7.30 am. As soon as he went to work, I started making cakes. It wasn't easy to store the cake afterwards either. But it was worth all my efforts. It was a very nice surprise for the 12th year.
Maybe you would like to prepare a special cake for your loved ones. Now let me give you the recipe for this beautiful cake.
Our cake is prepared in three stages. We prepare our cream, we prepare our sponge cake and finally we make the decorations.
I used to make this cake with strawberries before. But it is very difficult to find strawberries in this season. So this time I prepared my cake as a banana cake.
Preparation of Chocolate Bananas
First, I covered my bananas, which I will use to decorate my cake, with chocolate. For this, I melted the dark chocolate in a bain-marie and then dipped it into the chocolate with the help of a skewer. This way I covered the whole banana with chocolate. For the chocolate to freeze, I placed the bananas on a baking paper-lined plate and put them in the refrigerator.
Making Pastry Cream
I had prepared pastry cream with a few different truffles before. I added chocolate to the pastry cream I prepared today, and I think the most delicious one was the cream this time.
Now let's move on to our recipe.
2 litre sütü tencereye koydum. 1 su
Since I'm going to make a big cake, I used twice the ingredients in the recipe.
If you are going to make a small cake, it will be enough to use half of it.
I put 2 liters of milk in the pot. I added 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of cornstarch and 1 cup of flour. I also added two egg yolks.
I cooked it until it got a thick consistency. When it thickened, he added 2 packets of vanilla, two tablespoons of butter and 160 grams of white chocolate. I continued to cook my cream, stirring constantly. Then I covered it so that it wouldn't get dirty and left it to cool.
While we are going to use our cream in the cake, it should have cooled down enough.
The sponge cake recipe of our cake is as follows.
Necessary materials
- 5 eggs
- A glass of flour
- A glass of sugar
- A pack of baking soda
- A packet of vanilla
- 2 tablespoons of oil
- 1/2 cup of hot water
Separate the yolk and white of the eggs. Next, whisk some of the sugar with the egg white and some with the egg yolk.
Then we add oil and hot water to the yellow part and whisk some more. Add flour, baking powder, vanilla on it.
Finally, add the beaten egg white into the dough and mix it slowly.
Bake in the oven at 175 degrees for 20 minutes.
After it comes out of the oven, we cover it with a clean cloth and let it rest for a while.
Since I will make my cake in two layers, I prepared two sponge cakes in this way.
It is the turn of the most fun part of the preparation of our cake.
We are in the process of decorating the cake.
I cut and prepared the sponge cake the way we wanted to make the cake. I wanted to make a square cake.
Then I placed a sponge cake on the tray as a cake base. I wet it with some milk. Then I placed the pastry cream in a piping bag and started squeezing the cream onto the sponge cake. I squeezed the cream to cover the entire sponge cake.
I then placed banana slices on top of the cream. I placed the sponge cake, the second layer of our cake. I put cream on it again. Then I decorated my cake with various chocolates and candies. I also added the bananas that I covered with chocolate on my cake.
I have prepared a wonderful cake both in taste and appearance.
I hope you liked my post.
