How To Make A Striped Cake



How To Make A Striped Cake

Ingredients for the sponge 

For a mold of 20 cm
3 eggs
130 g sugar
100 g flour
30 g cocoa powder
1 pinch of salt Ingredients for the cookie dough: (I made ​​2 trays)

6 eggs
300 g sugar
300 g flour 00
1/2 sachet of baking powder Ingredients for the filling and decoration:

1 jar blueberry jam
400g whipping cream
200g Philadelphia Preparation: start with the sponge, as it must be cold and then it can be cut. Beat eggs (at room temperature) with sugar for at least 15 minutes, stir with a spatula and down movements with the sifted flour with cocoa. Grease and flour the cake pan and bake at 170 degrees for 40 minutes. 

Prepare the cookie dough:
Beat the eggs with the sugar until they become beautiful fluffy (about 5 minutes), sift flour with baking powder and add it twice to the eggs, stir with a spatula from the bottom up until everything is perfectly blended .
Coat the pan with parchment paper in the oven, pour half of the mixture and level it so that it is the same height. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 8-10 min, freshly cooked remove the dough from the paper. (Of these, 2 have to do)

Now prepare the filling: Whip the cream, mix in a bowl until creamy Philadelphia and then incorporate the cream.
now assemble the cake: Divide the sponge cake in half and spread a little 'filling. Cut into strips about 7 cm high the cookie dough (to me they are served 5) and cover them with jam, roll them up to form a large "swivel" and place it on the base of the cake, spread the other piece of pds with the stuffing and place as a lid on the swivel.
With the remaining cream to cover the whole cake and then decorate it as you wish! (I did 4 roses with sugar paste, but in the photo that inspired this cake was jam)
