Letter Cake for National Day
Yes, I know, the "Number Cake" was the cake trend in 2018 and is now completely over again - but this year for the Icelandic national holiday on June 17th I still baked a letter cake with "ÍS".
Ingredients
4 eggs
75 g sugar
1 pinch of ground vanilla
3 Tbsp lukewarm water
50 g flour
2 - 3 Tbsp potato flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 pinch of baking soda
double amount of buttercream
blueberries, raspberries and sliced almonds for decoration
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C) upper/lower heat.
Print out the template for the letters "Í" and "S" and place it under a piece of thin baking paper.
For the biscuit dough, separate the eggs.
Beat the egg whites until stiff and place in the refrigerator.
Mix the egg yolks with the lukewarm water, sugar and ground vanilla until foamy.
Add flour, potato flour, baking powder and baking soda and stir.
Finally, fold in the egg whites.
Then apply the dough to the baking paper using a suitable syringe, first filling the outside line and then the inside. (Repeat three times for three layers of flooring.)
Then bake the dough at 350 °F (180 °C) upper and lower heat for about 10 to 12 minutes.
Then let it cool down very well and carefully remove it from the baking paper.
Prepare the buttercream according to the package instructions.
Then fill the cream into a syringe with a star nozzle and squirt one letter completely with dots.
Place the second layer on top and sprinkle with polka dots again, then do the same with the third floor.
Chill the letters so that the buttercream becomes a little firmer and then cover them with the decorations.
Then serve the cake well chilled.
