Many Layer cake/Tree cake

Some days you see a picture and it stays in your mind. This picture then wants you to move ahead and give your best shot at achieving it. For me it was the picture I saw on SBS.com. This cake is a work of art and has so many delicate steps that the time at hand seems less. 2.5 hours to achieve the symmetrical layers is no joke. It is sheer love.

- 1
In a bowl, add the egg yolks and 1/2 cup of sugar. Beat it till it is nice fluffy and frothy.
- 2
In another bowl, beat the butter and 3/4 cup of sugar until it is pale and fluffy. Add in the vanilla and mix well.
- 3
Now in a large dry bowl, whisk the egg whites till they form stiff peaks.
- 4
Add the remaining sugar to the whites and mix gently.
- 5
Mix the egg yolk and butter mix. Fold in the sifter flour.
- 6
Now take a little of the whites and mix in the yolk, butter and flour mixture.
- 7
Now pour all the yolk mix in the whites bowl and fold it through without knocking out much air.
- 8
Divide the batter in two equal halves. I used 1/2 a cup measure to equally distribute.
- 9
Mix the cocoa and water mix in one of the batter.
- 10
Pre heat an oven to 160C.
- 11
Grease a springform pan and add a layer of butter paper/parchment paper on the bottom. [I used a 7" pan]
- 12
Now pour 1/3 cup of the vanilla batter and swirl the tin to spread evenly.
- 13
Bake for 12 min or until the sponge springs back at you.
- 14
Take it out and put 1/3 cup of the batter and repeat the process.
- 15
Keep a brush and melted butter at hand to grease the edges each time before adding another layer. This will make sure the cake comes out clean.
- 16
Once the last layer is baked, insert a skewer in the center and confirm the done-ness.
- 17
Let it cool to touch and remove from the pan.
- 18
Cut and serve with love.

Mocha Chip Ice Cream Sandwich Layer Cake
From what I have read this very simple layered ice cream cake was started by Kraft using crumbed Oreo cookies between the layers. Today the variations are endless, with any size you want, adjusting the ingredients and using any flavor of ice cream and adding what suits you. My version is a small cake layered in a loaf pan with mocha chip ice cream layered between the ice cream sandwiches. I used fresh whipped cream to frost the cake with drizzles of chocolate and chopped heath bars for a Crunch decoration. This cake takes minutes to prepare allowing for freezing and makes pretty slices and is delicious!
Three Layers Cake (Kue Lapis Surabaya)
In my country, Three Layers Cake is called Lapis Surabaya. I am not sure why it’s called like that, but this cake is very famous in Indonesia besides the thousand layers cake (Lapis Legit). Honestly I liked both. But personally I don’t like to bake the thousand layers cake because it takes a lot of time and it’s very tedious. So, if I have to choose, I would rather bake the three layers cake. But both cakes are notorious for the amount of egg yolks needed. For people who have a cholesterol issues, just be aware not to consume too much of this cake. Once awhile it’s okay, but don’t too much.I am not really fan of dessert, but sometimes I do feel cravings for this delicious cake.The texture of this cake, is moist and soft. It’s so delicious. So who could resist this delicate cake even though we know it contains too much egg yolks? But as I says, “once awhile it’s okay”. 😄Do you wanna try? Here’s the recipe.
