I love making layer cakes. Whether it’s Mother’s Day, my daughter’s birthday, or a special celebration with friends, I always seem to be baking a cake. But somehow very few of my friends share my enthusiasm. No matter how hard I try to convince them that it can be easy and fun, they still think making layer cakes is out of their league and that anyone other than a seasoned baker should steer clear of it. If you’re of the same opinion, think again. Trust me, making stunning four-layer cakes isn’t that difficult. With a few base recipes, you can make almost any cake you want.

多年来,我已经开发了三个简单的蛋糕“零件”:可靠而通用的vanilla base cake,蓬松whipped-cream filling,顺利buttercream。我用鲜奶奶油馅料制作一个随意的,异想天开的堆叠蛋糕,上面有新鲜的浆果。当我想要更奇特的东西时,我会使用奶油进行填充和糖霜。现在是最好的部分:通过为鲜奶油或黄油奶油选择不同的口味,我只需使用这三种食谱就可以制作十几个不同的蛋糕。

制作蛋糕之前,请考虑一下您有多少时间。如果你缺少时间,选择惠普尔ed-cream-filled cake. Making it is a cinch, and the cake looks spectacular with whipped cream and berries oozing between the layers. But don’t be afraid of buttercream cakes: The ones on these pages won’t bog you down for endless hours—they require just a little more time and focus. The good news is that you don’t have to spread buttercream to perfection. Using a small spoon to make swirls and curls with the frosting is a lot more fun—and forgiving—than creating a perfectly smooth surface. You’ll have a pretty cake that doesn’t need much in the way of decoration. And if you decide to dress it up a little, choose a simple embellishment to keep things quick and trouble-free (see “Finishing touches,” below). You’ll be surprised by what a handful of artfully arranged berries or a small mound of chocolate shavings piled in the center can do for a cake.

我的技巧易于制作蛋糕

A quick method for Vanilla Butter Cake will speed things up quite a bit. The vanilla butter cake I make is tender, not overly sweet, and impossibly easy. Instead of the more traditional creaming method, which involves beating butter and sugar together until they’re airy and fluffy, I use the quick-blend method. I start with the dry ingredients and mix in the wet ingredients in two stages: first the butter and milk, then the eggs. This method is so easy that the hardest part is remembering to bring the butter, milk, and eggs to room temperature.

To get the fluffiest whipped-cream filling, finish it by hand。我不必告诉你,制作鲜奶油是一块蛋糕。但是我可以提供一个提示,以获得想要用作蛋糕馅料的鲜奶油的最佳稠度。我开始用支架或手持式搅拌机搅打,但是当乳霜开始变稠时,我总是停止跳动。我用手完成它,因此我对最终厚度有了更多的控制。我喜欢这些蛋糕的鲜奶奶油,使这些蛋糕变得光滑且厚(但不要过度覆盖),因此,如果您将一小块oop放到盘子上,它会轻轻地站立。

我的无用方法使面包店式的奶油制成了光滑的奶油奶油。Taking a tip from cookbook author Rose Levy Beranbaum, I make this classic cake frosting using corn syrup to replace some of the sugar. I have no doubt this buttercream will become your favorite cake frosting. It’s incredibly airy and smooth and easier than traditional buttercream (seeButtercream 101)。

果酱增加了额外的风味

If you like, use jam thinned with liqueur to add another layer of flavor to your cake. For a four-layer buttercream cake, mix 3/4 cup seedless jam with 3 Tbs. liqueur, such as brandy or Grand Marnier. After you’ve spread the buttercream on the first cake layer, spread a third of the jam on the next cake layer, flip it, and lay it over the buttercream filling. Repeat the process for the next two layers.

Finishing touches

装饰成品蛋糕可以像您制作的那样简单或精心制作。我喜欢保持整洁而简单,只有几个元素在顶部或侧面排列。螺母片或椰子片很容易粘在蛋糕的侧面:只要一次抓住一小块,然后将它们轻轻拍在蛋糕上。退后一步,以更好地了解自己的工作。您可以填补空白并纠正小错误。这是我最喜欢的完成手段的列表:

柠檬或橙色的卷发
Fresh berries and fruit (slices or wedges)
干果
烤坚果(切片,切片或整个)
剃光的巧克力卷发(用蔬菜剥皮制成)
磨碎的巧克力
巧克力覆盖的浓缩咖啡豆
椰子薄脆
融化的巧克力从糕点袋里淋上了
