Cooking

Prepare the sponge cake. I have the classic: eggs, sugar, flour. Egg whisk in the stable foam with sugar, and then carefully mixed a Cup of flour. Bake 40-50 minutes at 180 degrees.

Make filling: in a saucepan pour the starch, sugar, cinnamon, and cardamom. Pour the water and stir. Add cherries and boil on a slow fire, stirring constantly.

Cook until Lily-livered state. Remove from the stove. Leave to cool.

For the cream eggs a little whisk with sugar. Add milk. The resulting weight is also put on a slow fire, intensively stirring with a whisk. When heated, it starts to "grow."

Cook for a few minutes before the state of liquid sour cream. The resulting syrup to cool completely.

Now for the decorations. Mastic I had prepared in advance, so this step I omit. Cut out the Holly leaves and do the red "berries."

White chocolate melt in the microwave with a tablespoon of milk. Add puffed rice and mix well. Leave for 10 minutes.

After a time, heaping tablespoon of the rice mass is spread on a plastic wrap and begin to form the cones. I got 3 pieces. Sent in the freezer.

After 5 minutes take out the workpiece and remove them from the film. Decorate with red beads of mastic.

Back to the cream: the softened butter, beat in the vanilla.

And gradually begin to add our cooled milk and egg syrup. Here I made a mistake: when connecting the oil and syrup should be at room temperature. I for faster cooling delivered his brew to the balcony and forgot about it. As a result, instead of fluffy I got a thick cream. The taste is of course not affected, but it was uncomfortable.

We start to gather our cake. Sponge cake cut into 3 parts. Lower cake impregnated with syrup (I have cherry).

Lubricates the cream and spread half of the cherry filling. The same operation done and with the second Korzh. The third put on top and also impregnate.

The whole cake daubed the remaining butter cream. Put into the fridge for half an hour.

Covered with mastic. I have no experience, so ssori).

Decorate our Christmas trees from puffed rice and mastic leaves and Holly berries. From the remnants of pink and red mastic slavilsya still bow for our Christmas wreath.
