Ingredients
For the Basic Sponge Cake (x2)
- 200g flour
- 200g sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract or 1 sachet of vanilla sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 4 medium or large eggs
- 125g unsalted butter
- 1 pinch of salt
For the Trim
- 1 jar of smooth jam (flavor of your choice)
For the Decoration
- 850g white sugarpaste
- Silver sugar pearls
Preparation
- Prepare 2 vanilla sponge cakes following the recipe. Once cooled, slice each cake horizontally into 2 layers, creating 4 cake circles. Ensure the surfaces are even for a straight cake.
- Spread your favorite jam between each cake layer, creating a delicious filling.
- Using a kitchen brush, lightly coat the top and sides of the cake with jam, focusing on the edges for a smooth finish.
- Knead the white sugarpaste to warm it and make it pliable. Dust your work surface with icing sugar and roll out the sugarpaste to a thickness of 4-5 mm, ensuring it’s large enough to cover the cake.
- Gently roll the sugarpaste onto a rolling pin and place it centered on the cake. Smooth the top and sides, trimming any excess neatly.
- Use a diamond imprint tool to create a quilted pattern on the sides of the cake. If you don’t have one, use a scoring tool to create straight lines.
- Add a small dot of water at the intersections of the pattern and press silver sugar pearls into place for a glamorous touch.
- Finish with a decorative bow made from sugarpaste, as shown in the tutorial video.
Enjoy your stunning White Almond Wedding Cake, perfect for any celebration!
