Cake Number Seven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 day

1. STEP 1

   

   To make a cake, the first thing you need to do is prepare the dough. Prepare all the necessary ingredients for this. Sift the flour through a sieve in advance.

2. STEP 2

   

   Place the butter in a non-stick pan (or with a thick bottom) and add honey to it. Place the pan on the heat and wait until the butter melts. The mass should not get very hot.

3. STEP 3

   

   In a separate bowl, mix eggs with sugar. Then add the eggs into the warm (but not hot) oil and mix everything together. Return the pan to the heat and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.

4. STEP 4

   

   Remove the boiling mass from the heat and add soda. Stir. At the same time, the mass will begin to foam and increase in volume. This is the reaction of honey with soda. Cool the honey mass until slightly warm.

5. STEP 5

   

   Then, adding flour, knead the dough. There is no need to add extra flour, even if it still sticks to your hands. Cover the dough with film and refrigerate for an hour. During this time it will infuse and be ready for baking. And it won’t stick to your hands anymore.

6. STEP 6

   

   In order to cut out the number of the required size, cut out the number 7 from the A4 sheet.

7. STEP 7

   

   Roll out the dough into a thin layer (0.4-0.6 mm) and cut out the number according to the prepared stencil. Poke the dough all over the surface with a fork so that it does not bubble up during baking. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 4-6 minutes. Bake 2-4 cakes this way and cool them.

8. STEP 8

   

   To prepare the cream, take powdered sugar, chilled heavy cream and cream cheese, warmed to room temperature.

9. STEP 9

   

   Whip the cream and powdered sugar into a fluffy, stable cream. Then stir in the cream cheese.

10. STEP 10

    

    Using a pastry bag, pipe the cream over the entire surface of number 7.

11. STEP 11

    

    This way, assemble the whole cake. Place the cake in a closed box or cover with a large bowl and put it in the refrigerator for several hours to soak. Why cover the cake? This is necessary so that all the moisture from the cream passes into the cakes and they become juicy and soft. Before serving, decorate the cake to your liking. This can be done with sweets or fruits. Enjoy your treat!
