Namaskar! Welcome to Nishamadhulika.com.
We often make cakes on various occasions.
But if a cake is made for someone’s birthday or for a special occasion then we decorate it.
Decorated cakes appear beautiful and taste delicious.
So come, let’s decorate a cake.
Cream - 350 gram or 1.5 cup
Dark chocolate compound - 200 gram
Icing sugar - 150 gram or 1 cup
Vanilla essence - ½ tsp
Melted butter - 50 gram or ¼ cup
Honey - 2 tbsp
Chocolate cake - 7 inch or 700 gram in weight
To decorate a cake, we can either get whipped cream from the market or can even make it at home.
To make the frosting at home, we need to take heavy cream.
If heavy cream is not available then we can take simple cream.
Put cream in a big bowl.
Add melted butter to it.
Make sure the butter is not too hot.
Add the butter to the cream.
Now blend the cream and butter using an electric blender.
After 3-4 minutes, add icing sugar to it.
Now blend it once again.
We have blended it for 6 minutes.
Add vanilla essence to it and blend again.
Blend it for some more time.
Our frosting for the cake is now ready.
Put the cake on the cake stand.
Remove the butter paper from the cake.
Apply a little cream on the cake stand so that the cake comes out easily.
Now place the cake on the stand.
We are making a layered cake
Cut the cake into 3 pieces.
We need a special knife to cut the cake, otherwise the cake pieces will not be accurate.
With the help of the knife let’s cut the cake into 3 equal slices.
If the knife is not available then you can make 2 or 3 different cakes and place them over one another with the frosting in between.
Cut the cake into pieces this way.
Cut this way.
We have cut the cake into 3 pieces.
Mix water and honey.
Make sure the quantity of both is equal.
You can also take sugar in place of honey and boil it along with water.
With the help of a brush apply this mixture on top of the cake.
This makes the cake a little soft.
Now pour the cream on top.
Spread the cream evenly using a pallet knife and make it smooth.
Now put the second cake piece on top.
Now apply the honey mixture on top of this as well.
Once again pour the cream on this.
Now put the third cake piece.
With the help of a brush apply the honey mixture on it.
Once again pour the cream on top.
Spread it evenly at all sides.
Put butter paper on all sides of the cake so that it comes out easily.
Wash the pallet knife with hot water and then spread the cream from all sides and make it smooth.
If the pallet knife is not available, then you can do the same by using a plastic card.
We have covered the cake with cream.
Crush half of the chocolate compound and melt the other half.
We have peeled off this chocolate using a peeler.
This chocolate is melted.
Put the bowl of chcolate above another bowl containing hot boiling water, the chocolate will melt soon.
We will not add any flavour as we will get the taste and colour of chocolate.
The chocolate is not hot anymore. It has a normal temperature.
Let’s add some cream to it.
Mix thoroughly.
We can even mix it using a blender.
We have taken a triangle shaped polythene.
We will fix a flower nozzle in it.
Put the nozzle this way and bring it to the corner.
Cut it a little with the help of scissors.
We will push the nozle in front.
Our nozzle is now fixed.
Now add the chocolate icing that we have prepared.
Put the polythene on a glass and pour the chocolate and cream mixture in it.
Fill the chocolate mixture inside the cone.
Now we will make flowers on the cake.
Now let’s make flowers on the cake this way.
Sprinkle the peeled chocolate this way.
You can also write the name of the person for which you have made the cake using the melted chocolate.
Stick a little chocolate on the sides like this.
Now remove the butter paper.
Put the cake in a plate.
Chocolate layered cake is now decorated.
Very tasty cake is prepared.
It is very easy to decorate a cake but it takes some time.
Make sure that you are in a cool place when using the cream otherwise it can melt and have a thin consistency.
You can put the cream in the refrigerator for an hour and then blend it, it will soon have a thick consistency.
We have used 350 gram cream to decorate this cake.
You can store the leftover cream in the refrigerator and use it later.
If we do not want to melt the chocolate, then we can add some cocoa powder to the cream, this will give it a taste and colour.
Decorate a cake, taste it and share your experiences with us at Nishamadhulika.com.
We will meet soon with a new recipe.
