Cake machine made of mastic

8 servings
11 hours


1. Bake the cake: Break the eggs into a deep bowl, pour out sugar, add honey. Beat the ingredients with a mixer, installing a bowl on a steam bath (we pour water into a large saucepan, send it to the heat, bring it to a boil, install a bowl on top of it). When the contents increase by 3 times, remove the bowl from the steam bath, allow the mass to cool to room temperature. Then we sift flour with baking powder into it, knead the dough. Wrap it in cling film and send it to the refrigerator for 4 hours. After the specified time, we take out the dough, form thin cakes from it (about 0. 5 cm thick). We bake each of them in the oven, heated to 180 degrees, for 4 minutes (the cakes are thin - they bake quickly, and during baking they will become thicker).

2. We prepare the cream: We put the proteins in a deep bowl, pour sugar, a pinch of salt, send them to a water bath and beat the mass until the sugar crystals dissolve. The mass should become snow-white, well-shaped. We leave the proteins to cool down. Meanwhile, beat the softened butter to a lush state and put it into the protein mass in parts. Continue to whisk until the cream is shiny, smooth, smooth. 3 Cake assembly and decor: We collect the cake, lubricating the cake with cream (while the cake is round, we will change it a little later, when the cake is sufficiently soaked). We send the cake to the refrigerator for at least two hours. We take out the cooled cake from the refrigerator, cut off the sides and form the top of the machine from them. We coat the cake with the remaining cream, diligently leveling with a culinary spatula. Cool the cake for another hour in the fridge to apply a repeated layer of cream. And only after these procedures do we start decorating the cake with mastic. Here we no longer need instructions - we use imagination and create beauty! I want to note that I work with mastic in advance, prepare the necessary colors, store in the refrigerator in a closed container, and then only roll out and cut out parts of the desired size. Surprise your family and loved ones, be healthy and happy!
