Cake with a picture of Spartak

An amazing tasting cake that you will have to tinker with! Spartak cake - with thin chocolate cake layers and buttercream. Not only me, but also my guests liked the cake. I recommend baking the cake about 2-3 days in advance. During this time, the cake will be soaked and become even more tender. I prepared a glaze from chocolate (80 g), cream 10% (50 ml) and cognac (1 tsp). I covered the top of the cooled cake with it. Soaked in the refrigerator overnight.

    After an hour, take the dough out of the refrigerator and divide it into 8 parts.

  6. STEP 6

    STEP 6

    Roll out each piece of dough. Since the dough is very tiny and thin, I recommend rolling it out between cellophane film.

  7. STEP 7

    STEP 7

    Place the dough into the mold. I have a mold with a diameter of 24 cm.

  8. STEP 8

    STEP 8

    STEP 14

    Beat the butter until fluffy, and the butter should become lighter in color. the oil should be at room temperature.

  15. STEP 15

    STEP 15

    After the cream has cooled completely, it can be whipped with butter. I advise you not to add all the cream to the butter at once, but do it in parts to avoid curdling of the butter.

  16. STEP 16

    STEP 16

    Grease the cakes generously with cream.

  17. STEP 17

    STEP 17

    The cake can be decorated with chocolate icing; it is also perfect for applying sugar mastic. I decorated a birthday cake with fondant. If you are frosting, keep the cake in the refrigerator overnight.

    STEP 19

    This is what the cake looks like in cross section.

Well, Irisha, you can certainly smell the honey, it’s a very strong flavoring agent, but what does it look like, right? Alice gave the cake a very correct name - Sportak, it just soared up to Olympus, rich cakes and beautiful color - everything is so majestic and powerful))) Super!

Irish, Israeli honey, I think it was artificial, although they write that it is natural, but there is no smell at all. On the contrary, I love honey baked goods, especially when there is a smell throughout the apartment, but here there was no smell, to my great regret. And the pictures are sold specially. Those who do this know the hot spots where they can be bought. I ordered it on the Internet, my grandson loves the cartoon Bob the Builder, so it was on this topic that they posted the picture. The picture is ready, you don’t need to draw anything, it’s sugar mastic. Just put it on the cake and that’s it. You can eat. Very comfortably.

Alis, thanks for the answer, it means you need to try it with your homemade honey, in any case you will feel it or not, your family will eat it with pleasure, but I, depending on the circumstances))) the strangest thing is that I eat honey with pancakes, with milk with pleasure, but I don’t like it in baking)) And the picture is very beautiful, I saw these in an online store, but I still couldn’t figure out how to use them, but everything turns out to be so simple))

Irish, not easy, but very simple. So, if you want to surprise your guests, order it. Very comfortable and beautiful. Apply on a thin layer of cream or ganache. The only thing you need to pay attention to is that the picture must be superimposed before submitting. You shouldn’t do this a day in advance, because the picture loses its brightness when it comes into contact with a wet surface. This is for your future.

Is there too much cream for 8 cakes d24 cm? I was very interested in the recipe, but I didn’t want any cream left over. I have never prepared cream for honey cakes using so many products. Usually 250-300 gr. about 500-700 grams of butter. egg-milk mass. And the cakes are well soaked. And here you should get a whole bowl of cream. Are the weight proportions of the cream really respected in the cake in the photo? Or can they be reduced? Answer please! Maybe someone else made this cake?

Complete disappointment! The cakes, as expected, did not increase in thickness during soaking. They looked like soggy cookies. Probably, the cake should be immediately put into the refrigerator and kept there for 2 days. Maybe she did something wrong. Although, I checked each step with the steps in the recipe. The thickness of the cakes when rolling, the consistency of the cream - everything is as in the author’s photo. This can happen if the cream has “curdled”. But I got a lush, good cream. In general, it didn’t work out and I didn’t like it. Very sweet.
