This year my little boy turned 4! And this is his cake. I spend a lot of time looking for the right cake. The choice was good! Maybe a little bit cream was fat, but it was tasty. Also I drizzled sponge with cherry compote. For 6 people the cake was too big, so leftovers I freezed and now I can enjoy it with the afternoon coffee 🙂
Cake with the caramelized bananas
Time needed:
Yields: 16 servings
Calories: 324 kcal / serving
Ingredients:
- Sponge:
- 2 eggs
- 250 g sugar
- 50 g margarine
- 250 ml yoghurt (I used natural)
- 2 tbsps. cacao
- 1 tsp. baking soda (I used baking powders)
- 1 tsp. vanilla sugar
- 375 ml flour
- 1/2 tsp. lemon acid
- Banana layer:
- 3-4 bananas
- 100 g sugar
- 55 g butter
- 1 tbsp. rum (didn’t used)
- Cream and cream cheese layer:
- 360 g cream cheese
- 400 ml cream, 35% fat
- 50 g icing sugar
- 1 tbsp. milk
- 1 tbsp. sour cream
- 1/2 tbsp. lemon juice
Directions:
- First of all bake the sponge: Beat eggs with the sugar, vanilla sugar, cacao, soft margarine. Put lemon acid to the yoghurt and mix, then put baking soda and mix well – should become fluffy foam. Then mix eggs mixture with the yoghurt. With blender working on slow speed mix to the egg-yoghurt mixture flour. Line cake form (26 cm diameter) with the baking paper. Divide dough into the three parts and first part pour in baking pan and bake in preheated to 180°C oven about 10-15 minutes (don’t over-bake, the top should be sticky if touched with the finger). Still hot sponge turn on another baking paper and peal the first baking paper. If it’s hard to take off the paper, moisten it with cold water. Do the same with other two parts of the dough.
- Then prepare caramelized bananas: Cut bananas into slices or cubes. In a pan on the medium heat melt the butter and put bananas. Sprinkle with sugar and mix while it dissolves. Mixture should became thicker and caramelize. Then pour rum and heat a little bit more. Take from the heat and let cool completely.
- Prepare cream cheese layer: Mix cream cheese with the milk and sour cream. Mix in sugar and vanilla sugar. In another bowl beat cream to the foams. Slowly mix cream into the cream cheese mixture. Put into the fridge.
- Layer the cake: Put in the baking form one sponge layer (I watered it with cherry compote), put one third of the cream cheese mixture, level evenly. The put half of caramelized bananas. Put another sponge layer. Do the same – put one third of cream cheese and leftover of bananas. On top put the last sponge and cover all cake with the leftover of the cream cheese mixture. Now you can decorate by your desires.
- My decorations: Found the picture what I needed. Printed on the regular paper. Cut baking paper a little big bigger size than the picture and pin picture with the baking paper. Melt dark chocolate, pour in the culinary bag and paint with the chocolate picture profile. Then melt white and mix with the chosen food colour. Again put it to the culinary bag and colour the painting. After that I had to melt another white chocolate square and it was somehow bad – it lumped and fat separated. So I put picture in the fridge (freezer) to get cool, then when it was firm I transferred picture on the cake. The last part – I had to do something with the windows and lamps. So I took about one teaspoon of gelatin and melted it in the 200 ml of water. Then divided to two bowls and coloured with different colours. Put for about 5-10 minutes into the fridge while it started to jelly. Then with the spoon filled picture parts with jelly. And that”s all 🙂

Cherry smoothie
Light, refreshing and easy 🙂 Those who hate milk will adore it 🙂 One of them is my hubby, so he drank two glasses 🙂 Cherry season just starting, so try this smoothie!
Muffins with berries
It was really impulsive baking. I saw them in a magazine for parents in a section “Baking together”. 🙂 Together? So I asked if my kids want to bake something and they happily agreed. So I just measured all ingredients in purpose that my kids were not bored, and they started to work. The result came out perfect – smell was fantastic, and the taste was remarkable – berries gave some refreshing sourness and banana gave moisture. Even next day they were very good and left over disappeared too quickly. So I’m thinking to repeat them very soon again.
Cheesecake
This year we met at home only with kids. So the preparation for the evening wasn’t much. This cake in all recipe sources got a lot of compliments. I agree with them – it’s really good and simple. I used 26cm cake form. And I really suggest you to warm the mascarpone and condensed milk mixture, because if you won’t do it you’ll get lumps when you pour gelatine (Then I had to put the mixture in a warm bath and wait till mixture warms and lumps dissolve).
Chocolate Mascarpone Cheesecake Pots
From the look, dessert is very simple. But when you taste it, you understand that the taste is more different than the view – taste is adorable. Everyone in my family couldn’t stop after one bite. I devided dough to four ramekins because the portions were very small, but I did mistake. I really should devide it to 8 cups because this cream is very satisfying.
