Cake Recipe:
equal weighed amounts of:
whole eggs
granulated sugar
all purpose flour – I used “White Lily” bleached flour. sifted

This cake resembles an Italian Lady finger, flavor and texture wise.

I used five eggs and they weighed at around 300g so I weighed out same amounts for the flour and sugar (this made two 9″ round cakes.

Butter and flour dust two pans (not – non stick)

Beat eggs with sugar really good – till very pale yellow almost white in color and fluffy. Add sifted flour and fold by hand.

bake 338 degree F or 170 degree C for about 25-35 -or until a toothpick comes out clean.

 

Butter Cream

2 sticks of unsalted butter

5 cups of powder sugar

vanilla extract (I just pour to taste)

Heavy cream 2 – 5 tablespoons  or more…- depending on the consistency that you like to work with.

Here are the pics.

First layer ready for butter cream, this will be the crumb coat.

frost first layer – add a good amount.

 

Add next layer of the cake, clean the sides with a serrated knife and begin to add the frosting. Again don’t be stingy, you can always remove and smooth once it is covered.

 

Dip off-set spatula in warm water to smooth the frosting, place cake in freezer for 10 minutes until it hardens a little and begin to add color to some of the frosting. This will be the final coat once color and decorated.

 

I wanted to have a concrete block look to it so I used a bamboo skewer to create the grooves.

 

I white frosting to the grooves to simulate mortar and smooth it out a little.

 

Inserted bamboo skewers to the bottom of rice crispy treat hand.

 

Added all the fondant décor and there you have it.
