Step 1: Prepare the gluten-free buttercream

Mix 500 grams of mix with 333 ml of water in a bowl. Then let it rest for an hour. Beat 600 grams of butter for 2 minutes. Add half of the softened butter to the mixture and mix until the butter is fully incorporated. Add the rest of the butter and mix for another 5 minutes on high speed.

Step 2: Prepare the gluten-free sponge cake

Preheat the oven to 175°C (hot air oven 160°C). Process the ingredients at room temperature. Mix 500 g of mix, 8 eggs and 40 ml water in a bowl. Beat for 8-10 minutes on the highest setting, then 2-3 minutes on low speed. Fill the greased bar mold ½ to 2/3 full and bake the sponge cake in the oven until done in 35-40 minutes. Do not open the oven in between. The cookie is done when it feels springy to the touch. Remove the cookie from the baking pan immediately after baking and let it evaporate on a wire rack.

Step 3: Color the buttercream

Color the buttercream. Make 3 trays and divide the buttercream. Color 1 container with Colour Mill Mint Green and the other with Colour Mill Lemon, leaving the last container white. Melt the white chocolate au-bain marie and mix it into the white buttercream.

Step 4: Filling and icing the gluten-free sponge cake

When the cake is completely cooled cut it into 3 equal layers. This allows you to fill the cake 2 times. For the filling, use the uncolored buttercream. For this cake, white chocolate was melted and mixed with buttercream.

Secure the bottom part of the sponge cake on a cake drum or cake board with some uncolored buttercream. Then put some uncolored buttercream in a piping bag without a nozzle and cut a piece from it. Using the buttercream, pipe a dike along the edge of the sponge cake and fill it with the white chocolate cream. Place a layer of cookie on top and repeat this step one more time. Spread a thin layer of buttercream on the side of the cookie. This will fill all the cracks and remove any unevenness. Place the cake in the refrigerator to allow the buttercream to stiffen.

Step 5: Decorating the gluten-free sponge cake

Once the cake is thoroughly cool, you are going to frost the cake with the desired color. In this case, we used Colour Mill Mint. With a spatula apply the color and with a scraper smooth everything out. Do this in two steps to get an extra nice and even cake.
Once you have applied the 1st layer of color and made it nice and smooth with the scraper you can put it in the refrigerators one more time. When it is well chilled again you can give it another thin layer of colored buttercream and smooth it with a scraper.
For the arches, make an auxiliary line with a baking ring/glass/tray. Using Wilton's nozzle 4B, pipe a line of buttercream in Colour Mill's Lemon color on the auxiliary lines. Next, on the top of the sponge cake spray a decorative border in the same color. With the Wilton nozzle 1M you spray a decorative border on the bottom in the color Mint by Colour Mill.
Then finish the cake with the FunCakes flowers and FunCakes Carrots!

Step 6: Happy Easter! And enjoy your Gluten-Free Easter cake!
