Ingredients

  • 5 XL Farm fresheggs
  • 150 grams White sugar
  • 200 grams Plain flour
  • TO MAKE THE FILLING:
  • Mascarpone Cheese
  • Raspberry
  • Blueberries
  • Mango Juice
  • Edible Flowers
  • Strawberry Jam
  • Icing Sugar

Instructions

  • TO MAKE THE MOIST SPONGE CAKE:
  • Preheat your oven to 160 degrees celcius (302F).
  • Mix 5 x eggs with 150g white sugar using an electric mixer.
  • Sift in 200g plain flour and fold through using a whisk.
  • Cover a large cake pan with butter and a few sprinkles of flour to coat it and to prevent the cake from sticking to it once it is baking in the oven.
  • Pour the sponge cake mix into the pan and place this in the oven for about 1 hour. Make sure you don't open the oven while it's baking!
  • HOW TO ASSEMBLE:
  • Once the sponge has cooked and cooled, use a round cutter to cut the cake into mini serves of sponge cake.
  • Cut each portion of mini sponge cake into 3 even slices. Then, starting with the bottom layer, wet the top of the sponge cake (just slightly using a pastry brush) with mango juice. This will help to keep the sponge moist.
  • Spread a generous amount of mascarpone cheese on top of this layer, using a teaspoon, making sure to cover all of the base and its edges. Add 2 spoons of strawberry jam (or another jam you like). You can even add thin slices of fresh strawberry on top of the mascarpone cream.
  • Then, place the next layer of sponge on top and wet it again, then repeat step 3.
  • Add the final layer of sponge on top and wet it with mango juice.
  • Finally, to top it off, add a small amount of mascarpone cheese using a piping bag, then decorate it with a raspberry or blueberry, along with an edible flower and a sprinkle of icing sugar
  • Your delicious and Sexy Mini Naked Cakes are now ready tobe served and enjoyed.
