Football Field Cake

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Today I will share with you a recipe and tell you how to bake a Football Field cake, which I made as a gift for a young football player. The composition of the cake includes the well-known “Zebra” cake, (at the birthday boy’s request) which is very tasty, and in combination with aromatic impregnation and cream, just a delight for the festive table. So, let's begin. We take the products we need.

2. STEP 2

   

   Beat the eggs with sugar using a mixer until a white thick foam forms.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add sour cream and a teaspoon of slaked soda to the eggs.

4. STEP 4

   

   Continuously whisking, add melted butter.

5. STEP 5

   

   Without ceasing to beat, add the sifted flour and beat until a homogeneous mass is formed.

6. STEP 6

   

   Now we carefully divide our dough into two parts. Pour part into another bowl, add 2-3 tbsp to one part. spoons of cocoa, and in the second the same amount of flour, mix. The dough is ready!

7. STEP 7

   

   We take a rectangular mold, since we need to get the shape of a football field, cover it with parchment paper and grease it with butter. Use a spoon to place the white and black dough in turn.

8. STEP 8

   

   Preheat the oven to 200 degrees and place the cake there for approximately 30-40 minutes.

9. STEP 9

   

   While our cake is browning its sides, we will prepare the cream. The cream is very simple and well known to everyone - it is butter with condensed milk. Beat soft butter.

10. STEP 10

    

    Gradually introduce condensed milk. We will need a lot of cream, since the cake will be decorated with it.

11. STEP 11

    

    Now our cake is ready, take it out of the mold and let it cool. Since I needed a big cake to feed the entire football team, I baked another one. Cut it lengthwise and soak it in syrup (sugar and water, I also added vanilla flavor). Grease our cakes with cream and place one on top of the other. Using a knife, carefully cut off the corners.

12. STEP 12

    

    Chop the scraps and mix with a small amount of cream.

13. STEP 13

    

    It turns out the so-called potatoes, which we use to line the sides of the cake.

14. STEP 14

    

    Let's move on to the design of the football field. Using a pastry syringe or bag, we begin to decorate our field. First we make a border around the entire perimeter of the cake.

15. STEP 15

    

    Then we divide the field in half and draw a circle in the center.

16. STEP 16

    

    Then we decorate the sides of the cake.

17. STEP 17

    

    Add green dye to the remaining cream.

18. STEP 18

    

    Stir until the color is uniform.

19. STEP 19

    

    Fill the top of the cake.

20. STEP 20

    

    This will be our grass on the field.

21. STEP 21

    

    Next, I placed a goal made of icing, and placed a mastic ball in the center.

I've loved zebra since childhood, and here it comes with cream. I'm sure it turned out delicious. And the work has been done extensively. I think both the young football player and the whole team were pleased with such a beautiful gift

You may ask, is the black color in the mastic a dye or something else? We did this too, but without a ball

Natali_van, you tried so hard that your cake deserves special attention. The colors of your cake are chosen to be natural, like on the football field itself, the goal, and probably the ball, will be eaten first, you will have to play for the first right to the tastiest piece! Well done, only a loving mother can prepare such a gift! Good luck to your players and score more goals against your opponents!
