Spongebob cake made from fondant

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 day

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a SpongeBob cake from fondant? Prepare the necessary ingredients for the sponge cake. I made biscuits for half a portion. Separate the whites from the yolks. You need to separate very carefully so that not a single drop of yolk gets into the whites, otherwise the whites will not beat. Also, the bowl in which the whites will be beaten must be clean, without traces of fat. It is better to first wipe it with a paper towel soaked in vinegar or lemon juice.

2. STEP 2

   

   Place the yolks in a bowl, add half the sugar and vanilla sugar. Mash the yolks and sugar well with a mixer. Vanilla sugar can be replaced with vanillin. Read how to do this correctly in a separate article at the link after the recipe.

3. STEP 3

   

   Beat the yolks with sugar until the mixture increases in volume and turns white.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place the egg whites in a clean bowl and begin beating with a mixer using clean, dry whisks on low to medium speed until light and fluffy foam forms.

5. STEP 5

   

   Then increase the mixer speed to medium or maximum (the speed depends on the power of the mixer) and, without stopping whipping, add sugar in a thin stream.

6. STEP 6

   

   Once all the sugar has been added, continue beating until stiff peaks form. When the bowl is tilted or turned over, the whites will not spill out.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add a third of the whipped whites to the yolks.

8. STEP 8

   

   Gently mix the yolks and whites with a spatula from bottom to top. There is no need to use a mixer at this stage.

9. STEP 9

   

   Add sifted flour to the yolk mixture and mix well. Thanks to sifting, the flour will be saturated with oxygen, and the finished sponge cake will turn out fluffier and airier.

10. STEP 10

    

    Then add the remaining whipped whites.

11. STEP 11

    

    Gently, again using bottom-up movements, as if lifting layer by layer, mix the dough. Pour the dough into the mold and smooth the surface. Fill the mold with dough to no more than 2/3 of the height, since during baking the sponge cake increases in volume by about 1.5 times. Bake the biscuit in an oven preheated to 180°C for 35-40 minutes. The exact time depends on the oven. You can learn about the operating features of ovens by reading a separate article, link at the end of the recipe.

12. STEP 12

    

    During baking, do not open the oven door for the first 20-25 minutes, otherwise the sponge cake may fall. Read about all the intricacies of making sponge cake in the article at the link at the end of the recipe. Carefully remove the cake from the pan, place on a wire rack and let cool. Cover the cooled biscuit with a napkin or paper towel and let it rest at room temperature for 8-12 hours. This way the biscuit will not crumble when cutting and get soggy when soaked in syrup.

13. STEP 13

    

    While the biscuit is cooling, prepare the cream. You will need two types of cream, one for layering the cakes, and the second for coating the top and sides of the cake, thus preparing it for mastic. The first cream is sour cream. To do this, start whipping the sour cream with a mixer, adding granulated sugar a little at a time. When the sugar melts, the cream is ready.

14. STEP 14

    

    The second cream will be oil. Remove the butter from the refrigerator in advance so that it comes to room temperature. Beat soft butter with a mixer, gradually adding condensed milk. The cream is ready.

15. STEP 15

    

    When the biscuit has cooled, cut it into cake layers. Assemble the cake by soaking the cakes in syrup and layering with sour cream.

16. STEP 16

    

    Grease the sides and top of the cake with buttercream

17. STEP 17

    

    Place the cake in the refrigerator for the cakes to soak and the buttercream to harden.

18. STEP 18

    

    You can buy mastic ready-made, or you can make it yourself. To do this, melt the marshmallows in a steam bath. Add powdered sugar to the melted marshmallow in parts, mixing well each time. Knead the mastic until a homogeneous viscous mass, then continue kneading with your hands. Color part of the matika with brown dye. Roll out the brown mastic into a layer and cover the bottom of the cake with it, these will be the pants.

19. STEP 19

    

    Paint some of the mastic yellow. Also roll out the yellow mastic into a layer and cover the top of the cake with it. Trim off the excess.

20. STEP 20

    

    Use white fondant to make a shirt, two circles for SpongeBob's eyes and two rectangles for the teeth. Next, give the top of the cake a wavy shape, thus creating a sponge. From blue, red, black and pink mastic, cut out small details: eyes, tie, mouth, nose, arms, legs, etc. To add shine to the mastic, you need to cover it with a brush with a solution of honey and vodka (1:1). SpongeBob cake is ready. Enjoy your tea!

I'm just happy that I found this culinary site and this recipe in particular. And I kept racking my brains about how to please my son, and now I found a recipe for this cake. After all, Sponge is his favorite character. Moreover, there are such good step-by-step photos here. But it seems to me that 18 eggs is a lot, 400 grams of flour is very little. Of course, this is the first time I will follow the recipe, but if anything happens, I’ll edit it during the cooking process and then write my comments here about what I got.

As for the flour, I was a little mistaken, you need 450 grams of it and not a gram more. 18 eggs is not a lot since this cake weighs 4 kg, but it can be made half that size.
