Letter Cake
Delicious and lovely letter/number cakes, they look super beautiful and are actually quite simple to make. For this one, I used light sponge layers (similar to dream cake) and white chocolate mousse.
Ingredients
White chocolate mousse
- 6 leaves Gelatin Sheets
- 500 gram White chocolate
- 1200 gram Whipping Cream
Bottoms
- 5 pcs. Egg
- 700 gram Sugar
- 500 gram Butter
- 500 gram Milk
- 10 gram Baking Soda
- 8 gram Vanilla Sugar
- 600 gram Wheat Flour
Garnish
- Berry
- Edible flowers or regular flowers
- Chocolate
Instructions
White chocolate mousse (enough for 2 layers)
- Start with your mousse, as it needs time to set.
- Make it by finely chopping the chocolate and slowly heating it in a pot together with the cream.
- When the chocolate and cream have melted together, squeeze the water out of the gelatin and stir it into the warm chocolate mixture.
- Once the gelatin is completely dissolved, put your mousse in the fridge for 2-3 hours.
- Just before use, whip it up to a firm and airy mousse, it takes about 5-6 minutes, so don't worry if it doesn't change consistency immediately.
- Now your mousse is ready to use.
Layers (1 baking tray, 1 or 2 layers)
- Whisk eggs and sugar until fluffy.
- Melt the butter and add it to the egg mixture along with the remaining ingredients.
- Gently whisk everything together.
- Pour into a greased baking pan or a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake for about 40 minutes at 175 degrees Celsius (347 degrees Fahrenheit) (fan-forced).
- Once the layers have cooled, cut them into the desired letter or number shapes.
- You can split the letter/number into two if you want 2 layers and thus 2 mousse layers in your cake.
- But you can also start with just one layer, using the layer as it is.
- Put your mousse in a piping bag with a star nozzle, decorate the cake, and top with goodies.
