BIRTHDAY CAKE

I made this cake for a birthday. This basic cake recipe is filled with a layer of cherry jam and cherries, the outside is covered with wipped cream, chocolate springles and yellow and green kiwis. You can find the recipe for the cake in the post "basic cake recipe".

Ingredients for cream:
  • 2 cups of double cream
  • 1/4 cup sugar, or to taste

Steps for cream:

  • whip the cream quickly until the cream is slightly thickened
  • add sugar
  • continue whipping the cream until it forms soft peaks. Don't whip beyond the soft-peak stage otherwise it will get stiff and curdle.
Steps for compiling cake:
  • devide the cake into two layers when it's cooled off
  • cover the bottom layer with cherry jam and cherries
  • cover with second layer
  • cover cake with whipped cream
  • cover sides with chocolate sprinkles
  • cover top with slices of kiwi

Keep the cake in the fridge to keep the cream cool.
