Description

This cake I prepared for two days of birth. Son - August 31, and husband to 1 September. Plus another cousin, went to the first class, that was the reason for such a large cake. Most importantly, everyone was happy. And of course - the competition "School time".

2 tsp
Vanilla sugar

Cooking

For the first sponge cake, 6 eggs divided into whites and yolks.

Proteins vzbit with a glass of sugar and a pinch of salt in a solid foam. Yolks white.

Gently, on low speed of mixer, combine yolks and whites.

Flour mixed with baking powder, sift it. Stir with a mixer on low speed.

Put the pan with baking paper and grease it with butter. Put the dough and bake in a preheated 175 degree oven for 25-30 minutes. Readiness check splinter.

The second cake do also, but use 4 eggs, 3/4 Cup sugar and 3/4 Cup flour. I did not work to reflect this in the ingredients because I write here. Add the lemon zest. Also baked at 175 degrees, 20-25 minutes.

Now all you need cakes to cut. Round, just into three parts, and from the square you should have: 4 square with sides of 15 cm, four circles of different diameter (13, 10, 7, 3cm); four rectangles for doors thick (approx. 1cm width of ~7cm and a height of about 5cm), and 4 steps, length 5cm width 1cm.. In this case, rectangular reservoir where you need to cut into two pieces, but somewhere there.

Cream, eggs (8pcs.) mix with sugar (1 Cup). Add the vanilla sugar.

Flour and a small piece of butter. Stir well with a whisk or electric mixer, to avoid lumps.

Add the milk, stir well and cook on low heat (preferably in a water bath), all the time! stirring, until thick.

Softened butter is whipped with powdered sugar (I did this cream by prescription, and only when mixing the custard with the butter, I realized that sugar here and there. It turned out, for me, is pretty sweet, although everyone else liked it, but better to oil the powder do not add, I think). When the custard has cooled (completely!), add it to the butter a tablespoon, whisking on low speed. If You find that the cream is close to breaking, it is better to continue to beat just with a spoon.

Jam (I have cranberry), heat to become a liquid.

Put the cake together. Here I have a photo almost there, nervous, and sometimes awkward to remove. Understand that it is not quite clearly impossible, but I'll try to explain what and how. First, it is not difficult. Coat round cake jam.

Then cream.

The round cakes stacked square, repeat in the same order. Then round descending (a dome). Jam I missed not all layers, and through one.

Now the photo over. On the sides put the rectangles (doors), to them the steps. All promazyvayut cream. The cream smooths the knife to the cake surface was smooth (more or less). Decorate with candy sprinkles (put the contours of doors, stairs, etc.), marmalade, large sugar candy, put on the edges of the column. That's all. The hardest part of this cake was to decorate is a long and painstaking work has turned out. And everything is just.
