Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 10 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a Car McQueen cake from fondant? Prepare all ingredients. We will need four cake layers: the first two are rectangular, the other two are round. We make the same dough for all cakes. Beat eggs into a bowl, add sugar and starch, mix. Add a glass of sour cream, sifted flour and slaked soda, mix with a mixer. Add dried cranberries to the dough for the first cake layer. Mix. Read about flour and biscuit dough in the articles below the steps.

2. STEP 2

   

   You may need a little less or more flour, check the consistency. The dough should turn out like thick sour cream. Line a rectangular pan with baking paper and pour in the dough. To bake the remaining cakes, also use baking paper when baking.

3. STEP 3

   

   Bake the cake, like all subsequent ones, in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for about twenty minutes. The times are approximate, use your technique. Read about how ovens work in the article at the end of the recipe.

4. STEP 4

   

   We make the second cake. Beat eggs into a bowl, add sugar and starch, mix. Add a glass of sour cream, sifted flour and slaked soda, mix with a mixer. Read about the intricacies of using soda in baking in the article below the steps. Add chopped walnuts to the dough for the second cake. They can be preheated by stirring in a hot, dry frying pan (on the lowest heat). This way their aroma will be revealed more.

5. STEP 5

   

   Line a rectangular pan with baking paper and pour in the dough. Bake the crust in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for about 20 minutes.

6. STEP 6

   

   We make the third and fourth cake layers. Beat eggs into a bowl, add sugar and starch, mix. Add sour cream, sifted flour and slaked soda, mix with a mixer. Add dried cherries and dried apricots to the dough for the third cake layer. Wash and dry them first. We will not add anything to the dough for the fourth cake layer.

7. STEP 7

   

   Pour the dough into round molds lined with baking paper and bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for about 20 minutes.

8. STEP 8

   

   How to make custard sugar cream? Combine the egg, sugar, vanilla sugar, flour and sour cream in a saucepan, stir, cook it all in a water bath, stirring all the time until thick. Refrigerate. Separately, beat soft butter with a mixer. Then one tbsp. Add custard sour cream to the butter, beat it after each spoon. Before whisking, you need to make sure that the temperature of the custard and butter are the same. The first cream is done.

9. STEP 9

   

   How to make buttercream? Beat the softened butter (take it out of the refrigerator in advance) with a mixer and add condensed milk little by little. Beat until the mixture becomes fluffy.

10. STEP 10

    

    Now let's assemble the cake. Spread the first rectangular cake with sour cream custard. Then place the second cake layer on it.

11. STEP 11

    

    Also combine the round cakes by layering them with sour cream custard. Cut the round cakes into two equal parts lengthwise.

12. STEP 12

    

    Spread the custard on one half and place the other half on top.

13. STEP 13

    

    On the sides of the rectangular cakes, make 4 semicircular recesses for the wheels. As in the photo.

14. STEP 14

    

    Trim the semi-circular part of the cake so that it can be a booth, and place it on the rectangular cake layers (on their base).

15. STEP 15

    

    Place the long rectangular piece of scraps at the back of the machine behind the cabin. Place all remaining trimmings from the torus in a blender and grind. From the resulting mass, make the missing convex parts of the car. As in the photo.

16. STEP 16

    

    Lubricate the entire machine with butter cream.

17. STEP 17

    

    Make the wheels from chocolate cookies and glue them together with buttercream, make the middle of the wheels from white fondant.

18. STEP 18

    

    Then cover the entire machine with mastic. I made white fondant from marshmallows.

19. STEP 19

    

    Color the white mastic with food coloring (red). You can immediately take the red mastic. Decorate the Lightning McQueen cake for boys as you wish. I made a four and a half kilogram cake.
