Horse Cake

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 day

1. STEP 1

   

   Separate the whites from the yolks. Separate very carefully so that not a drop of yolk gets into the whites, otherwise the whites will not beat. Place the yolks in a bowl, add half the sugar and vanilla sugar.

2. STEP 2

   

   Grind the yolks well with sugar until they increase in volume and turn white.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the egg whites in a clean bowl and beat at low or medium speed with a mixer until light and fluffy foam forms.

4. STEP 4

   

   When all the sugar has been added, continue beating until the whites come out when you tilt (or turn) the bowl.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add a third of the whipped whites to the yolks and mix gently, from bottom to top.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add sifted flour to the yolk mixture and mix well.

7. STEP 7

   

   Then add the remaining whipped whites and very carefully, using bottom-up movements, as if lifting layer by layer, mix the dough.

8. STEP 8

   

   This is what the dough should look like

9. STEP 9

   

   Ready-made sponge cake (tin with a diameter of 20 cm)

10. STEP 10

    

    We soak the cakes in syrup and spread them over each other and, of course, the sides and top, preparing the surface for applying mastic, and put it in the refrigerator.

11. STEP 11

    

    Roll out a sheet of mastic and cover our cake with it.

12. STEP 12

    

    I'll cut off the excess

13. STEP 13

    

    We use a stencil to cut out the image of a horse using brown mastic.

14. STEP 14

    

    We cut out the details with crayons and assemble everything. That's it... To add shine to the mastic, you need to cover it with a brush with a solution of honey and vodka (1:1).

Well done, Natalie, you will still have the symbol of 2014 on the holiday table! But today I bought a small horse figurine. And she said that on New Year’s I always don’t have enough time for new things. Well, I will be happy looking at your horse. Good girl! Happy New Year!

And I also have a question: you write that you need to cut out the outline of the horse and the elements of details for it using a stencil. Where can I get these stencils? Draw it yourself? I definitely won't succeed.
