Making Chocolate Sponge Cake

  • Take wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda in a sieve
  • Sieve them 6-7 times and keep them ready.

  • Then place the cake tin in the Kadai.
  • Close it with lid and bake in low flame for 50-55 minutes till toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool down completely
  • Cool them in a wire rack. You can prepare ahead and wrap them and keep them outside.

Buttercream Frosting

  • Take butter in a bowl.
  • Beat them till smooth and creamy for 4-5 minutes.
  • Then add the icing sugar in batches and beat it continuously still smooth
  • Next, add vanilla essence to it and beat till it forms stiff peaks
  • If the frosting is too thick, you can add little milk to adjust consistency.
  • American buttercream frosting is ready
  • Add gel colors of your choice to buttercream and keep it ready.

Assembling the cake

  • Take a color print out of the Minnie mouse picture and cut it
  • Place the picture on top of the cake and insert a toothpick on the corners to trace it.
  • Prick it with the toothpick to trace the picture on the cake and mark it.
  • Carefully remove the excess to form the shape.
  • Crumb coat the cake with buttercream on the sides. Mark the shape of the bow and face. With the help of buttercream, pipe the outer shape of bow and face.
  • Then pipe the entire cake with different colors.
  • I used yellow, red, black, and white colors to decorate the cake.
  • Minnie Mouse cake is ready.

Notes

You can use any cake recipe as base.
You can use whipped cream frosting instead of buttercream frosting.
If you are baking in oven, preheat the oven to 180°C for ten minutes and bake in the same temperature for 45-50 minutes till toothpick inserted comes out clean.
If the buttercream frosting is too thick, you can add few drops of milk to adjust the consistency.
Print of the picture helped me to get the exact shape. If you are good at drawing you can draw yourself too.
According to the size of the tin, choose the picture size.= or vice versa.
I find this method easier than making two cake and then joining.
If you want you can cut the cake and apply cream in the layers.
In our home, plain cakes are preferred than cream cakes. So I just used cream only for decoration and skipped for layers.
