Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
Letʼs prepare all the necessary ingredients.

Step 2

Step 2
Separate the yolks from the whites. For convenience, leave the yolks in the shell halves.

Step 3

Step 3
Beat the whites until thick and, continuing to beat, add sugar in portions.

Step 4

Step 4
Then add the yolk in the same way and beat.

Step 5

Step 5
Then beat a little more until it becomes a fluffy white mass.

Step 6

Step 6
Next, mix flour, baking powder and starch. Mix everything and sift through a sieve 3 times to saturate the mixture with oxygen.

Step 7

Step 7
Add the chopped lemon zest to the beaten eggs. Add flour in portions.

Step 8

Step 8
Knead the dough with a spatula from bottom to top.

Step 9

Step 9
The dough should be fluffy and homogeneous.

Step 10

Step 10
Pour the dough onto a parchment lined pan.

Step 11

Step 11
Level the dough and bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 40 minutes.

Step 12

Step 12
Let the finished biscuit cool.

Step 13

Step 13
Once it cools down, cut off the top. Knead and reserve for later use.

Step 14

Step 14
Cut the biscuit lengthwise into three layers.

Step 15

Step 15
Letʼs prepare the syrup — add sugar to water, stir and boil until the sugar is completely dissolved. Let the syrup cool to room temperature and add flavoring.

Step 16

Step 16
Cut marmalade and kiwi into small cubes.

Step 17

Step 17
Add water to the gelatin to make it swell.

Step 18

Step 18
Whip the cream with powdered sugar until thick.

Step 19

Step 19
Add hot boiled milk to the swollen gelatin with water and mix everything until the gelatin dissolves.

Step 20

Step 20
Grind the cottage cheese with powdered sugar.

Step 21

Step 21
Add whipped cream to the cottage cheese and mix well. Add milk and gelatin to this mixture through a strainer.

Step 22

Step 22
Mix the cream well until smooth. To assemble the cake, all that remains is to cut the bananas into the same cubes as kiwi and marmalade.

Step 23

Step 23
To assemble, take the mold in which the sponge cake was baked and place the bottom cake layer in it. Soak it well in syrup.

Step 24

Step 24
Place a layer of cream on top, and then a layer of fruit and marmalade into the cream.

Step 25

Step 25
We will also cover the top with cream.

Step 26

Step 26
We assemble the next layer of cake, cream and fruit in the same way.

Step 27

Step 27
Soak it in syrup and place the last cake layer on top and spread it with cream.

Step 28

Step 28
Mash the top of the biscuit well and mix with the remaining cream. Place a mound of this mixture on top of the cake. Now the cake needs to be put in the refrigerator to harden. Meanwhile, prepare the protein custard.

Step 29

Step 29
The cake has frozen and the cream is ready. We start the decor with the basket. Using brown cream, using a star nozzle, apply a vertical line along the entire height to the side of the cake. On top of the line, draw three horizontal lines at a distance from each other the thickness of the line, i.e. in one.

Step 30

Step 30
Then there is also a vertical line next to it, and on top of it two horizontal lines in the spaces between the three previous horizontal lines.

Step 31

Step 31
This is how we decorate the side of the cake in the form of a basket.

Step 32

Step 32
Apply an ornate line along the top edge in a circular motion with the same brown cream and nozzle.

Step 33

Step 33
The basket is ready. We prepare multi-colored creams for flowers, kitchen scissors and pastry carnations for creating flowers. Instead of a nail, you can use, for example, a pen.

Step 34

Step 34
We make the first large rose from the cream and, using scissors, place it in the center of the cake.

Step 35

Step 35
Roses are very easy to make. For example, if you are using a pen, then you need to apply cream to the petals using the petal nozzle in a cascade, first on the pen, then on each other.

Step 36

Step 36
This is what it looks like in the process.

Step 37

Step 37
Transfer the rose of the desired size to the scissors, carefully turning the handle.

Step 38

Step 38
And use scissors to place the rose on the cake.

Step 39

Step 39
We make and place the required number of roses of the same color. Then we move on to other colors. For example, white and orange. To do this, place white and orange creams on opposite sides of a pastry bag and squeeze the bag until the desired color comes out.

Step 40

Step 40
And if you use a special confectionery carnation, then to prepare roses with it you must first apply a white cream base for the flower on it and then apply flower petals in a cascade around this base, as well as around the handle.

Step 41

Step 41
Make flowers of the desired size. We also remove them with scissors.

Step 42

Step 42
And also using scissors we transfer the flower to the cake.

Step 43

Step 43
Decorate with flowers all the free space on top of the cake.

Step 44

Step 44
Apply leaves using green cream using the ʼleafʼ nozzle.

Step 45

Step 45
We decorate roses with confectionery beads. Once the decor is finished, put the cake in the refrigerator to soak for a couple of hours before serving and harden a little.

Step 46

Step 46
A delicious fruit cake is decorated, soaked in cream and made tender. And ready to please our loved ones with his tenderness. Serve and enjoy the holiday!
