Instructions

Step 1

Let the cake layers cool completely before assembling the cake.

Step 3

Prepare the Cream Frosting

Beat *cream cheese*, *heavy cream*, and *powdered sugar* until peaks form. This will be used to assemble your elegant number cake.

Variations

🌱 Gluten-Free Variation: If you're looking to make this gorgeous cake gluten-free, simply switch out the all-purpose flour for a gluten-free version. Almond flour is a great substitute, adding a nutty flavor that complements the sweet and creamy ingredients beautifully.

🥥 Vegan Variation: Transform this cake into a vegan delight by substituting eggs with a flaxseed mix (1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal + 2.5 tablespoons of water per egg) and using plant-based butter and cream cheese. Coconut cream can also be whipped to add that rich, dreamy texture!

Faq

  • Why did my cake become too stiff?

    This may occur if the cake layers were left too long in the oven. Bake until just golden brown to keep them soft yet sturdy enough for layering.

  • How can I prevent my cream from curdling?

    Make sure to use cream with high-fat content, and always whip it while it's cold. Introducing sugar gradually can also help maintain a smooth consistency.

  • Can I make the cake layers in advance?

    Absolutely! You can bake them ahead of time and store them in an airtight container, with parchment paper between each layer to avoid sticking.

  • How can I achieve sharp edges with my cream?

    Chill your shaped cake layers well before applying the cream. Use a piping bag to neatly outline and fill spaces, then smooth it out with a spatula.

  • What's the secret to an evenly baked cake?

    Ensure your batter is spread evenly on the baking tray, and avoid opening the oven door too early to keep the temperature steady.

  • How do I choose the right fruit filling?

    Select fruits that complement the sweetness and creaminess of the cake. Berries, stone fruits, or citrus fruits offer a refreshing contrast.
