Sponge Cake Ingredients ( I followed Micheal Lim’s Sponge cake recipe, you can bake your own sponge cake if you wish provided it should not be dense).
120 g All purpose flour
120 g fine sugar
4 egg whites
4 egg yolks
1 tsp Vinegar
¼ tsp salt
½ tsp vanilla extract
30 ml Oil
40 ml milk
*** Pre-heat the oven at 150 degrees and bake at the same temperature for 25-30 mins.
*** The recipe makes 1 big 8 inch cake or 2 small 6 inch cakes.
Frosting 1: Raspberry Jam Ingredients
200 g fresh or frozen Raspberries , you can substitute with Strawberries if you like
1/3 cup Maple Syrup
1 tbsp Corn Starch (to thicken the Jam)
Frosting 2: Raspberry Jam + Whipped Cream.
So for this frosting you basically combine the Raspberry Jam with unsweetened whipped cream
Frosting 3: Pastry cream + Whipped Cream = Diplomate Cream
1 Egg Yolk
1 Egg White
2 tbsp Corn Starch
1Cup Whole Milk
1 tbsp butter
1/3 cup Sugar ( to add with the milk)
¼ cup Sugar ( to add with the egg mixture)
** to make the pastry cream a diplomate cream all you have to do is add the cooled pastry cream to 1 cup of unsweetened whipped cream.
** Note that you will end up with extra Diplomate cream, that is because we cannot cut the quantity of eggs further. So you can use this cream with some cupcakes or you can also serve it with some fresh fruits.
Frosting 4: Normal Sweetened Whipped Cream
1 cup of heavy whipped cream + ½ cup for the above mentioned Raspberry Cream
½ cup icing sugar
For covering the cake with Marzipan you will need about 450 g for covering and the floral decoration as shown in the video.
