Ribbon Cake

Cakes play a crucial role in celebrating our special moments. Everyone, young and old, loves to eat cakes. This week, our teacher brought up an interesting ribbon cake-making challenge. Using the experience of the last two weeks, we will make a two-layer ribbon cake and assemble it with cream. By making a ribbon cake, we will take our cake-making experience one step further. So I am very interested in making a ribbon cake.

Make the given recipe in detail with step-by-step pictures.

🍮Ribbon cake making process:🍮

Step 1:

First, take 150 grams of butter and 150 grams of sugar in a mixing bowl. Then mix it very well. Keep beating until the sugar melts.

Step 2:

Once the butter and sugar are beaten very well, add three eggs. Then beat all the ingredients again very well. After beating well, keep it aside.

Step 3:

Now, take 150 grams of flour, 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder in a sieve and sift it so that there are no lumps.

Step 4:

At this stage, I will add the flour and baking powder mixture to the beaten cake dough. Then I mixed it very well.

Step 5:

I added 1 tablespoon of vanilla essence to the dough prepared for the cake. Then I stirred it very well. Vanilla essence adds a very nice flavor.

Step 6:

At this stage, I will divide the dough prepared for the cake into two parts. Then I added red food color to one part, green food color to the other, and stirred it very well.

Step 7:

To bake the cake in two layers, I've prepared two molds. Then, after pouring the cake dough into the molds, I placed the two molds in two preheated pots in the oven. I'm going to bake it for forty minutes with the lid shut.

Bake For 40 Minutes

Step 8:

After forty minutes, I checked the cake with two toothpicks to see if it was baked properly. Then I cooled it and took it out of the mold.

Step 9:

I didn't have icing sugar at home or in the nearest store. So I made icing sugar by blending sugar in a blender cup for 2 minutes. Afterward, I sieved it.

Step 10:

In a bowl, beat 30 grams of butter and 90 grams of icing sugar very well to make a cream.

Step 11:

This is the last step in making the ribbon cake. This step is very important. I put the green cake layer down, then added the icing I made. I spread the icing with a spoon to make a thin layer. Now I pressed the red cake layer on this icing layer, and the ribbon cake was made very easily.

MySelfie With Ribbon Cake

1. What difficulties did you encounter while making this recipe?

No, I did not face any difficulties while making this recipe. I have made vanilla cake, chocolate cake several times, but honestly, this is my first experience of making ribbon cake. I have never made ribbon cake before. I initially worried that I wouldn't be able to give the ribbon cake I made the necessary appearance. But my fear disappeared in an instant when I followed the instructions given by my teacher @m-fdo sister. I am thankful to my teacher for explaining each lesson in detail to the students in a very simple way. Finally, my first ribbon cake was perfect. I was very happy to see the desired look of the ribbon cake.

3 . Explain the importance of each of the ingredients you used in making this cake.

The importance of each of the ingredients used in making this cake is as follows:

Ingredients

🍮Butter🍮

The cake gains richness, flavor, and moisture from the use of butter. Beating the butter with sugar helps incorporate air, giving the cake a light and fluffy texture.

🍮Eggs🍮

The importance of using eggs in a cake is that eggs bind all the ingredients used in making the cake and help it hold its shape. The proteins in the eggs harden when the cake is baked, helping the cake to hold its shape. Moreover, they supply moisture and help leaven.

🍮Sugar🍮

Cake is a dessert. Sugar is used to sweeten the cake. In addition to sweetening the cake, sugar helps to soften the cake by slowing down the formation of gluten. It also helps it brown and retain moisture.

🍮 Flour🍮

Flour is of immense importance in cake making. Flour provides the basic structure of the cake. Flour contains proteins that create the structure of the cake, helping it to hold together.

🍮Baking Powder🍮

Baking powder acts as a leavening agent in cake making. We use baking powder while making cake dough. When we pour the cake dough into the mold and heat it, carbon dioxide gas is produced, due to which the cake rises.

🍮 Food color🍮

Color increases our attention to the cake. When we make a cake for a birthday or any event, we definitely choose a beautiful color for the cake. To match the theme of the birthday and event or to make the cake more attractive, we add color to the batter or icing. For kids, colorful cakes are their favorite.

🍮 Vanilla Essence🍮

The cake gets a fantastic flavor from the vanilla essence used in its creation. It doubles the taste of the cake by giving the cake a pleasant, sweet aroma and taste

🍮 Icing Sugar🍮

Cake frosting or icing uses icing sugar to make it sweeter and more decorative. Since icing sugar is finely powdered, it easily mixes with butter or cream for a smooth, sweet finish on the cake. Icing sugar played an important role in the cream prepared to unite the two parts of the ribbon cake.

4 . If you were allowed to share this delicious cake with a Steemit friend, who would you share it with? Explain why you chose that friend.

I have many friends from different countries on the Steemit platform, we are all like a family on this platform. But if I am allowed to share this delicious cake with a friend on Steemit, then I will share it with my friend and brother @solaymann. There are several reasons why I decided to share the ribbon cake I made with this friend of mine, some of which I am sharing. Although we work on the Steemit platform from the same country, we are only familiar with many of them through this platform. When I did not understand many new things on the Steemit platform, my friend helped me in many ways. He is very helpful and hardworking. He is a very good blogger. I always follow his blogging, his hard work inspires me. I am inspired by him, and I dream of becoming a good Steemitian myself. Friendship starts with sweets. I will share my ribbon cake with him to strengthen our friendship. Moreover, this is the first time I have made a ribbon cake, and after sharing it with my friend, I would love to get a review of the cake from him. I want the moment of sharing the ribbon cake with him to strengthen our friendship. ❤️😊🥰

Everyone be well. Next week, I'll respond to you.
