Eintracht Frankfurt Cake









EINTRACHT FRANKFURT TORTE

Hello all..!!

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.…

 This goes to my son for being such a helping child & a caring loving brother. 


THINGS NEEDED:

Have to bake 3 layers for this cake. If you notice there is only a slight difference in ingredients between each layer.

Cake Layer1: Normal

4 Eggs

4 Sp sugar

1 tsp Backing powder

4 Sp All purpose flour

Vanilla flavour


Cake Layer2: Chocolate Base

Cake Layer3: Red Base

For the Almond-cheese Cream:

100-120 ml Cream

125 g Mascarpone

50 g Sugar

50-70 g Almonds, powdered

2 tsp cream stiffener

 

 

PREPARATION METHOD:

 


Preparing Layer1: Normal layer

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 and each time mix uniformly till smooth.

Pour in a backing pan and spread uniformly using spatula. Bake for 15- 20 min in 180 degrees till done. Set it aside to cool.

Preparing Layer2: Chocolate base

The same preparation method as for Layer1, the only difference is the Cacao powder 😊

So I copy paste,

Beat Eggs with sugar and vanilla flavor till the mix turns white & creamy.

Dry mix all purpose flour, Cacao powder & backing powder in a bowl.

Add the flour to egg mix using a sieve in batches and each time mix uniformly till smooth.

Pour in a backing pan and spread uniformly using spatula. Bake for 15- 20 min in 180 degrees till done. Set it aside to cool.


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.

Pour in a backing pan and spread uniformly using spatula. Bake for 15- 20 min in 180 degrees till done. Set it aside to cool.

 

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...
