Dulce De Leche Llama Cake Recipes

DULCE DE LECHE LLAMA CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the Oven to 375°F Grease and line 2 10'x14" jelly roll pans with baking parchment.
• Break the eggs into a large bowl and add the sugar. Whisk on a high speed until the mixture is pale a nd thick and falls off the whisk in long strands.
• Lightly sieve in the flour and baking powder, in small amounts, folding gently between each addition, making sure that the flour is completely mixed inches.
• Divide between the tins and bake for 15 minutes until golden and firm to the touch.
• Leave to stand for a couple of minutes.
• Sprinkle a tablespoon of caster sugar over each tea towel and invert the sponge onto it. Peel off the baking parchment. Trim the sides of the sponge and then roll up along the longer side with the tea towel. Leave on a wire rack to cool completely.
• When cool unroll the sponges. Cut them in half along the shorter side. Divide the dulce de leche between them and sprinkle over the coconut. Roll up one and then place it onto the other sponge and roll up again. Repeat with the rest of the sponge. Trim to neaten, cover in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 1-2 hours.
• When you are ready to assemble the cake, place the butter into a large bowl. Whisk on high until the butter is light and fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating well each time. Finally beat in the vanilla and cream.
• Spoon the buttercream into a piping bag fitted with a large "grass" nozzle.
• Take the sponge out of the fridge and remove the plastic wrap. Place it on its end onto a serving plate.
• Crumb coat the sponge with a little of the buttercream - a thin layer all over.
• Roll out the white fondant and cut out a face using a template. Roll out the pink fondant and cut out 2 small circles.
• Melt the black candy in the microwave, pour them into the small piping bag and pipe on the llama's eyes and nose. Leave for few minutes to set in the fridge. Make two ears out of some more of the pink and white fondant and secure them onto cocktail sticks, leaving half of the stick poking out of the end so that you can attach them to the cake.
• Stick the face onto the cake near the top.
• Pipe "fur" all of the llama. Add the macaroon pompoms around the top of the head and base of the neck. Finally, stick on the ears.

DULCE DE LECHE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees with the baking rack in the middle. For a rectangular cake: Line 2 large 12" x 18" or 15" x 21" baking sheet pans lined with parchment or silicone mats & set aside (alternatively butter and flour the sheet pans). For a round cake - butter and flour three 8-inch round cake pans*
• Mixture 1: In a bowl of a stand mixer whip together 4 eggs, 1 cup sugar, and ½ tsp salt for ~10 minutes. Eggs should be whipped until the mixture flows off the beater in a ribbon that takes 2-3 seconds to disappear.
• Mixture 2: When the eggs are almost done whipping, in a medium bowl whisk together 1 cup sour cream, 1 can dulce de leche and 1 tsp of baking soda until no lumps of dulce de leche are seen. The mixture will increase in volume from the baking soda, so make sure to use big enough bowl.
• Combine: Fold the two mixtures together, being careful not to overmix and deflate the batter.
• Add the dry: Sift in 2 cups of flour and 2 teaspoons of baking powder, then fold the batter until fully incorporated. Do not overmix or the cake will be tough.
• Pour & Bake: Divide the batter between the 2 prepared baking sheet pans (or 3 rounds ones for a round cake) into an even layer. Bake for ~9 minutes for the rectangular pans or ~12 min for round cake pans, or until the top is lightly golden and springs back when touched, or when the toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Remove from the oven, allow to cool for 5 minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
• Roast: Preheat oven to 325F° with the baking rack in the center.Place the hazelnuts onto a rimmed baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes, tossing the nuts about every 4 minutes and tasting to see if they're roasted to your liking. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
• Skin the hazelnuts: Add the nuts to a ziplock bag and keep shaking and rubbing the hazelnuts between the palms of your hands until the skin is removed. Next, shake the bag so that hazelnut skins sink to the bottom of the bag, and remove the nuts to a separate bowl, discarding the skins. Leave 20 or so hazelnuts whole, chop the rest of the nuts with a sharp knife to a medium size, or pulse a few times in the food processor, or add to a ziplock bag and crush with a rolling pin.
• Combine the evaporated milk and the dulce de leche with a whisk or an immersion blender until smooth. Pour into a squirt bottle if available.
• If using heavy whipping cream instead of whipped topping, whip the cream with a mixer until medium peaks and refrigerate.
• Whip 8 oz of cubed room temperature butter and 8 oz cubed cream cheese for about 4-5 minutes or until the mixture is very fluffy. Scrape down the bowl several times throughout. Add the dulce de leche in 2 additions and whip after each until just incorporated.
• Fold in the refrigerated whipped cream (or whipped topping) into the caramel cream in two additions.
• Flip each cake upside down and peel off the parchment paper or the silicone mat from the back. Cut the rectangular cakes widthwise into two equal pieces (you will have 4 cake layers now). For the round cakes use a long serrated knife to split each cake layer in half, horizontally (giving you 6 total layers).
• Reserve about 2 cups of cream and set aside (1 1/2 cups for a round cake)Place a dab of frosting onto the serving plate. Now top with the fist cake layer and press to adhere. Layer the cake by soaking each layer with the soaking syrup, then spreading some caramel cream and sprinkling some chopped hazelnuts. Repeat the process with the rest of the layers.
• Add the final layer, then use 1 1/2 cups of the reserved caramel cream (1 1/4 cups for round) to cover the top and sides of the cake.
• Cover the cream with chocolate flakes by sprinkling the top and pressing it against the sides. OR prepare chocolate ganache and pour it over the top of the cake.
• Use the remaining cream ( 1/2 cup for rectangular or 1/4 cup for round) to pipe on cake top and decorate with whole roasted hazelnuts (use chopped hazelnuts for round version).
• Refrigerate the cake for about 2-3 hours before serving. Serve cold or room temperature.
