Bánh Sponge Cake with Three Layers - Prepare and Chill. I purchased the cake from the supermarket. Here's my sponge cake recipe.
Custard Cream (I used half of the recipe. Recipe here.)
700g whipping cream, whipped until fluffy
5-7 pieces of ladyfingers cookies
Various fruits of your choice
Fruit juice to moisten the cake, as desired
Gelatine Layer:
Approximately 8g of gelatine
50g hot water
Dissolve the gelatine in water.
Tools:
Spatula for smoothing the cream
Piping bag for cream
Cream whipping tool
Silicone spatula
Baking parchment paper, cut into square shapes as shown in the video for neat cake assembly.
Cách làm
Place one layer of the cake on a plate.
Position the baking parchment paper on the bottom of the cake as shown in the video and pictures.
Pour syrup or fruit juice over the cake.
Spread the custard cream evenly, leaving a gap of about 2cm from the edge.
Place another layer of cake on top, and repeat by adding fruit juice and custard cream.
Place the third layer of cake on top. Pour fruit juice over it.
You might notice the edges of the cake slightly protruding in one corner. Dip ladyfingers cookies in fruit juice and insert them wherever you see the cake edges protruding.
Spread the cream on top and around the cake.
You don't need intricate decorations; just make the cake surface somewhat smooth, and you can pinch the cake edges to create a charming effect. 😜
Decorate the top with fruits.
To keep the fruits looking fresh and vibrant, you can brush a layer of gelatine over them.
Place the cake in the refrigerator before serving.
For this cake, it's best to prepare it a few hours in advance, around 5-6 hours is ideal. Back when I used to work in a bakery, we would usually prepare the cake 2 hours before customers came to pick it up to ensure it was as fresh as possible.
