This recipe is perfect for sweet lovers who are looking for a quick and simple dessert that is impressive in look and taste. Let's get started! A short story about black and white cake Two-colored cakes have a rich and fascinating history and are often associated with festive moments. The contrast between the white and black top not only brings a pleasing appearance, but also a combination of flavors that delight the taste buds. This modern recipe blends tradition with innovation, bringing to the fore a surprise ingredient: marzipan, which enriches the texture and taste of the cream. Ingredients For the white filling: - 3 eggs - 4 tablespoons flour - 4 tablespoons sugar - 1/2 sachet Dr. Oetker saffron baking powder - 1-2 tablespoons water - A pinch of salt For the black top: - 3 eggs - 3 tablespoons flour - 1 tablespoon Dr. Oetker cocoa - 1/2 sachet Dr. Oetker saffron baking powder - 1-2 tablespoons water - A pinch of salt For the cream - 500 ml liquid cream - 1 sachet Dr Oetker gelatine (10 g) - 1 sachet Dr Oetker marzipan (100 g) - 250 g ripe strawberries For decoration: - Dr Oetker Dr Oetker cake decorating shortbread - 1 teaspoon Dr Oetker Dr Oetker cocoa - 1 tablespoon green coconut - 100 g colored candies Preparing the icing 1. The white cake: In a large bowl, beat the 3 egg yolks with 1-2 tablespoons of water and 4 tablespoons of sugar, using a mixer. Continue mixing for about 3 minutes, until creamy and light in color. 2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff. This step is essential to ensure a fluffy texture to the batter. 3. Slowly add the flour mixed with the baking powder to the yolk mixture, a tablespoon at a time, stirring gently with a spatula. 4. Add 1/2 of the beaten egg whites and gently incorporate, using an up and down motion. Repeat with the remaining egg whites. 5. Prepare a cake pan (about 24 cm) lined with baking paper and greased with a little butter. Pour in the mixture and level with a spoon. Bake in the preheated oven at 180°C for 25-30 minutes or until it passes the toothpick test. 6. Black cake: Repeat the same steps, but add 1 tablespoon of cocoa to the flour mixture. This will give the cake an intense color and flavor, perfectly complementing the white cake. Making the cream 1. Cream: Make sure the whipped cream is very cold from the refrigerator. Blend it with a mixer until stiff. 2. Gelatin: Follow the directions on the package to hydrate the gelatin. Once it has swollen, add it to the whipped cream and mix gently. 3. Strawberries: Crush the strawberries with a fork and add them to the whipped cream, along with the grated marzipan. Mix everything thoroughly to make a smooth, fluffy and delicious cream. Assembling the cake 1. Once the cupcakes have cooled completely, use a bowl to cut out a circle in the center of each cupcake. This will give a 'ring' effect to the cake. 2. Place the white top on a serving platter. Drizzle with a simple syrup made from 200ml boiling water with 5 tablespoons sugar and rum essence. 3. Place 1/3 of the cream on top of the white pastry, then place the black pastry, which you also syrup. 4 Repeat the process with the remaining cream, filling the gaps between the tops. Use the remaining cream to decorate the cake using a posh. 5. Decorating is where the imagination can fly! Use the shortbread to create cocoa or green coconut shapes and add colored candies for a cheerful look. 6. Leave the cake chilled, ideally overnight, for the flavors to meld. Serving and suggestions The black and white cake is served with a smile and is perfect for parties or get-togethers with friends. You can accompany the dessert with a sparkling wine or refreshing lemonade to balance the sweetness. Practical tips - Gelatin: If you want a gelatin-free version, you can opt for a vegetarian ingredient such as agar agar, but be sure to follow the cooking instructions. - Customize: Experiment with berries instead of strawberries or substitute martipan with cream cheese for a different touch. - Calories: A serving of black and white cake contains about 350-400 calories, but is full of joy and unforgettable moments. Frequently Asked Questions - Can I use other types of flour? Yes, you can replace white flour with whole wheat or gluten-free flour, but the texture will vary. - How can I check if the biscuits are baked? Use a toothpick: if it comes out clean after you stick it in the middle of the cake, it's ready! - How long can I keep the cake? Cake keeps well in the fridge for 3-4 days, but is best fresh. Now that you've got all the information you need, all that's left to do is put on your apron and get cooking! Black and white cake with marzipan cream, strawberries and whipped cream is sure to become a favorite recipe in your household. Enjoy!
