This is a normal, very adjustable cake we usually use for birthdays in Denmark.
I made a basic cake to slice into layers (preferably 3)
The recipe is as follows (Shape is about 26cm in diameter):
6 eggs (seperated)
250 g. sugar
180 g. flour (siffed)
1½ teaspoon bakingpowder
2 teaspoon vanilla
3 tablespoon cacao
Whisk the eggwhites stiff and add the sugar little by little. When whisked good add the yolks little by little. Add flour bakingpowder, cacao and vanilla through a sif and turn the dough softly.
Bake at 180 degrees Celcius for about 25 minutes.
Let the cake rest and slice into 3 layers.
For the above cake I used the following: (Due to a uneven baked cake I had to use only 2 layers)
1. Cake Layer
2. Strawberry Jam
3. Danish macarons
4. Whisked Cream with strawberry Jam
5. Strawberry Jam
6. Cake Layer
7. Icing
8. Decoration: Strawberries, Cream, and chocolate splinters.
The essence of the cake is… Use what you like. There are multiple choices, this is just one of many.
