Preparation
Preheat the oven to 180°C (hot air oven 160°C). Spray both deep round baking pans with bake release spray and make the edges higher by using a strip of parchment paper.
Start preparing the buttercream by mixing 300g FunCakes Mix for Buttercream with 300ml water and put this away for at least 1 hour to stiffen.
In the meantime, prepare the sponge cake by mixing 500g FunCakes Mix for Choco Sponge Cake with 6 eggs and 110ml of water. Pour the batter into the two greased baking pans and bake the biscuits in 30-35 minutes. Leave the Sponge Cakes to cool on a cooling grid after removing the parchment paper.
Finish the buttercream by beating 375 gram of unsalted soft butter until fluffy, then add the mix you made earlier in parts. Flavour the buttercream with the FunCakes Flavour paste White Choco and mix it all into a smooth cream.
Cut both Sponge Cakes 3 or 4 times and fill with the butter cream. Cover the outside of the Sponge Cakes with a layer of buttercream. Pull this tight with the side scraper until you begin to see the layers of the cake. Then stack both Sponge Cakes on top of each other and reinforce them with the cut dowels and a cake cardboard.
Tip: If the cake needs to be moved make sure it is made on a firm surface, for example a cake drum.
With the FunCakes Choco Drip Chocolate you can easily make the drip. First remove the cap and in case of a package with an aluminium seal, also remove the seal completely. Melt the FunCakes Choco Drip Chocolate for 15-20 seconds in the microwave at maximum 800W, reattach the cap to the bottle and shake well. Repeat this process until the drip has melted completely.
Let the Choco drip slide down the edge of both cakes to create a nice dripping layer. Then decorate the cake further with fruit such as passion fruit, peaches, blackberries and blueberries. Also tuck in a few sprigs of rosemary.
