2020#!$$§$ hmm ... It’s been quite a challenging time for everyone… I wish if there would be something like a time machine so we can travel back to the time & stop that silly Chinese from eating that poor Pangolin ... I wish everything would be normal one day when we wake up in the morning…just like
that.
Elder son turned 12 ..atfirst I didn't want to do anything during this pandamic... But children should be happy as long as they can. The situation can
change anytime and God knows whether I will get a chance to do anything for my
Children again :( So I decided to do something to lift up their spirit so they can
remember me later 😊
They were really lonely and bored during the lockdown time and they were missing their friends a lot. Their friend’s situation were not different. So I invited some friends of my elder son on his birthday. His friends Parents were also very happy about the idea.
This time
the Birthday cake from that of his favourite football team from Frankfurt…”
Eintracht Frankfurt” …although I had to take a lot of effort the result was
good.. he & his friends were mega happy.…

paste,
Beat Eggs

purpose flour, Cacao powder & backing powder in a bowl.

Preparing
Layer3: Red layer
The same
preparation method as for Layer1, the only difference is the red food color😊
So I copy
paste again 😊,
Beat Eggs
with sugar and vanilla flavor till the mix turns white & creamy.
Dry mix all
purpose flour & backing powder in a bowl.
Add the
flour to egg mix using a sieve in batches & the red food color and each
time mix uniformly till smooth.

Preparing
Chocolate Cream:
Heat the
Cream in a bowl till boil. Remove from heat and mix in the chopped chocolates.
Mix till uniform.
Preparing the Almond Cheese Cream:
Beat the cream adding the cream stiffener. Mix in sugar & vanilla flavour .
Mix Mascarpone & Almond powder separately in a bowl.
Finally mix both mascarpone mix & beaten cream together & evenly mix with a spatula.
Refrigerate it.
Preparing the Cake :
Take each cake base ….Normal cake base, chocolate cake, red cake….and cut the cake in circles.
Please
refer the picture…From each cake you have to cut 2 circles. You can use Plates
or bowls for measurement. Use the same Plate and bowl to cut all the cake layers.
Once you
are done, make 3 different color combinations placing one layer from each color
cake.
When you
combine cake layers like this, apply chocolate cream in between each circled
layer in round..
Once a combination is done apply ½ of the Almond mascarpone cream on top of the layer. And place the next color combination on top of this Almond cream layer. Again apply next ½ of the mascarpone cream, place the third color combination. Apply Chocolate cream on the top & sides of the cake. Refrigerate the cake for atleast 4 hours.
For decoration I thinly rolled out a black fondant and spread over the cake. Used some water so that the fondant may stick to the cake. Cut the white fondant in circle and glue it to the black fondant with water. I cut the Eintracht Frankfurt’s symbol on a rolled out red fondant and glued it over the white fondant. I also used some other decorations.
Ok ...cutting the Frankfurt symbol was bit challenging ...but it turned out to be ok...
