How to make hedgehog cake at home

We begin work on our future masterpieces with baking biscuits. Separately designed detailed step by step photo recipes you can find the links in the list of ingredients. I note right away that for both biscuits you will need 11 eggs. We use 7 of them completely, but there are still 4 proteins left. If you, like me, do not like unused leftovers after making a cake, you can use 2 eggs and 4 egg whites for a chocolate biscuit. The result will be excellent, and besides, you will save two whole eggs.

To bake a chocolate biscuit, we use a mold with a diameter of 24 cm. Cool the workpiece and cut it into two layers.

Butter cake is baked in a rectangular shape. I have a little less than the standard 30x40cm. We cut out a circle with a diameter of 24 cm from the layer. The rest will be used to prepare hedgehogs.

Earlier, I told in great detail how you can cook a very tasty butter cream with boiled condensed milk. Link to go in the list of ingredients.

I additionally decided to soak the chocolate biscuit. Impregnation prepared the simplest. Pour sugar and coffee into a glass, add boiling water, stir and cool. I always add cognac to the cooled liquid. I am deeply convinced that 1 tablespoon of cognac per whole cake will not affect the well-being of children in any way and will definitely not be addictive. 🙂 And you look for yourself and decide how to act according to your convictions.

Using a teaspoon or brush, evenly soak the layers of chocolate biscuit from the side of the cut.

We put a tablespoon of cream on a dish, on top of it the first chocolate layer, cut up. We distribute half of the cream over it.

Then, we put butter biscuit, the remaining cream and the second chocolate layer cut down. We remove assembled cake into the refrigerator.

For the second cream, combine chilled cream with powdered sugar and a small amount food green coloring. We beat everything until a stable dense state. I strongly advise NOT to use dyes for Easter eggs. There is absolutely no way to eat them. If you want to cook beautiful children's cakes, get safe dyes: dry powder or gel.

It remains to let the hedgehogs out for a walk and create comfortable conditions for them: plant flowers and grass in a fabulous meadow.

To make it, I used nozzles of the “asterisk” type, and “planted” the grass with the nozzle of the same name already known to you for making hedgehogs. We decorate the middle of the flowers with confectionery pearls. Don't forget to pay attention to the sides of the cake as well. On the top and bottom, masking the irregularities, we plant the curbs using the “leaf” nozzle or any other at your discretion. To complete the picture, we plant pink flowers between the borders.

We remove the cake in the refrigerator for the night. In the morning, we not only admire our masterpiece, but also take pictures of it from all sides and with everyone. 🙂

And now the most long-awaited moment has come - tasting.

I'm just sure that this soft, soaked and decorated delicious cream biscuit cake Hedgehogs will appreciate everything, and you will gain fame as a brilliant confectioner.

Ingredients

• Egg
  (4 things.)

  (150 g)
• Wheat flour
  (150 g)
• boiled condensed milk
  (1 bank)
• Butter
  (250 g)

Cooking steps

First we need to make a biscuit for the cake. To do this, take a container in which it will be convenient to beat the ingredients, and break 4 eggs into it. After that, add sugar and begin to whisk vigorously until the mass becomes homogeneous and increases several times, acquiring a creamy hue.

After that, you can add the sifted flour and baking powder, continuing to beat. Then we shift the dough into a mold, which we pre-lubricate with oil, and put it in the oven. It must be preheated to 200 degrees. The dough should be baked for 20-25 minutes.

You can check the readiness of the biscuit by hand. It will be more reliable than a stick. To find out if it is ready, you need to lightly press on it with your hand. If a hole remains after pressing, then it is worth waiting a little longer.

When the biscuit is ready, we take it out of the oven and, depending on how high it turned out, cut it into two or three parts, each of which must be greased with cream.

The cream is prepared very simply: melt the butter over low heat, put the condensed milk in a container in which it will be convenient to whip it. Then pour the condensed milk with melted butter and begin to beat well until the mass turns light brown. After that, we proceed to the preparation of decorations.

Make a biscuit for the base of the cake decoration. The amount of ingredients depends on what size hedgehogs you want to make. In the photo - a biscuit of 8 eggs for a large hedgehog.

Using a small and handy knife, cut out an oval figure - the basis for a biscuit hedgehog.

Trim the edges with scissors and slightly "bevel" them.

Now you need to lubricate the figurine with cream. Cream is made from scraps of biscuit. Add any of your favorite jams to them and mix to get a thick homogeneous mass.

With our hands we give the figure a shape similar to a hedgehog and wait until the mass on it dries.

Now let's take the pre-colored marzipan, roll it out on the table and cut out a piece in a shape resembling a triangle.

We take the resulting piece of marzipan and gently wrap it around the side of our hedgehog where it will have a muzzle.

To make thorns, we need pastry bag and a special nozzle for it, which looks like this.

We take a pastry bag, put cream in it and begin to make “thorns”, trying to place them as close to each other as possible so that there are no “bald patches”.

Now let's start making paws and ears. For this we need sugar mastic and marzipan. Cut out small semicircles and give them the shape of the ears.

We make the paws in the form of a “droplet” and with the help of a small knife we ​​cut two short stripes.

Eyes and nose can be made from pills or cream, which is enough imagination. We decided to make them from mastic and marzipan, which we dyed in advance.

Now we take a thin brush, food coloring and remember the drawing lessons in elementary school. Carefully draw the hedgehog's mouth, tint the eyes, nose, make red cheeks with a wide brush.

We cover the cake with mastic or coat it with cream on all sides, install our hedgehog on it, let the cake brew and the treat is ready! Now you can safely treat them to guests and household members! The kids will love this dessert!

Cool the finished cookies.

Let's prepare the nuts. Sort nuts and fry. I will do this in a multi-oven, I will fry the nuts at 200 degrees for 4 minutes.

Seedless raisins sort and rinse. Get wet with napkins.

Grind a few cookies into small crumbs to level the hedgehog.

Break the rest of the cookies into small pieces with your hands.

Pour the nut mixture into a bowl.

Add raisins and broken cookies and mix everything.

Let's prepare the cream. The butter should be at room temperature, like boiled condensed milk.

Beat the butter with a mixer with condensed milk until smooth and add most cream into a mixture of cookie nuts and raisins, and a smaller part of the cream into small crumbs from cookies.

From nut mix form a hedgehog body in the form of a drop on a cake platter.

Align with a mixture of fine crumbs with cream.

Sprinkle the muzzle of the hedgehog with cocoa powder through a strainer. Glue cream on the eyes and nose of chocolate drops.

To decorate the hedgehog, dissolve coffee in 2 tablespoons cold water, add 2 tablespoons of condensed milk and vegetable cream. Beat at high speed and the cream is ready.
