CUBAN BIRTHDAY CAKE RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Prepare the cake; break the eggs into a bowl (1), add the sugar and work for a long time until the mixture will be light and very fluffy.
• Add the flour, sifted with cocoa powder and baking powder (2), and mix well.
• Grease a 22 cm diameter cake pan, pour the mixture and level with a spatula (3). Bake in a static oven at 180 degrees C and bake for about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool.
• Mix all the ingredients for the syrup (4).
• Prepare the cream; whip the cream, add the chocolate cream and mix gently with a hand whisk (5).
• Divide the cake into three layers, removing some of the dough from the bottom layer that you will need for the final decoration (6).
• Thoroughly wet the first layer of cake (7).
• Stuff the cake layer with a little cream (8) and then cover with the second layer, always moistening it with the syrup.
• Continue with the cream and cover with the last layer of cake. Decorate the surface with the cream, some cake crumbs kept aside (9) and a few curls of chocolate. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
• When ready to serve, cut into slices and bring to the table (10).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Take 2 9 inch round pans, grease and powder them with flour to prevent sticking.
• Sift all the dry ingredients into a bowl to incorporate them well.
• In a separate bowl, whip the cream until thickened.
• In a separate bowl, beat eggs until slightly frothy and then delicately fold them into the cream.
• Add the dry ingredients a bit at a time into the cream and eggs mixture, folding them gently.
• Add vanilla extract into the mix and fold until incorporated.
• Pour batter into the prepared pans and bake for about 30 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out dry.
• Let the cakes cool before attempting to remove them from the pans.
• You can use your favorite frosting and filling!
