📝 Ingredients
For the sponge cake:
– 4 eggs
– 120g sugar
– 120g flour
– 1 teaspoon vanilla
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– Pinch of salt
For the creamy filling:
– 400g cream cheese
– 200ml cold whipping cream
– 100g powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla
For the topping:
– 300ml cold whipping cream
– 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
– Extra powdered sugar for dusting
👩🍳 Preparation Method
1. Preparing the cake: Beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla together until the mixture becomes pale and thick. Add the sifted flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt, then fold gently until the ingredients are well combined.
2. Baking: Pour the batter into a round cake pan lined with parchment paper. Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C for 20–25 minutes, or until fully cooked. Allow it to cool completely. 3. Preparing the filling: Beat the cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth, then add 200 ml of whipping cream and beat until the mixture is creamy and firm.
4. Preparing the topping: Beat 300 ml of cold whipping cream with powdered sugar until a thick, stiff cream forms.
5. Assembling the cake: Slice the sponge cake into two layers. Place the first layer on a serving plate, spread the creamy filling evenly over it, and then place the second cake layer on top.
6. Decorating and chilling: Cover the top of the cake with the whipped cream and garnish with a generous dusting of powdered sugar. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow it to set and become ready to serve.
✨ The secret to success
– Use cold whipping cream to ensure a firm consistency.
– Let the cake cool completely before adding the filling.
– Leave the cake in the refrigerator overnight for a richer flavor and well-set layers.
❤️ The result: A light, airy cake with a smooth, creamy filling—a wonderful taste that makes every slice a moment of pure joy!
