We used ube sweetened condensed milk for the frosting and it worked out marvelously.
We used regular sweetened condensed milk for the cake parts. The cake itself will be thin and flimsy, but can be assembled in a yummy form. Ours is definitely not very pretty, and next time, we would spread the batter more evenly or in a different form for better layers.
Nick made the cake topper!
Ingredients:
For Cake:
300 g sweetened condensed milk
3 eggs
1 pinch salt
180 g flour
10 g baking powder
spray to spray silicone mats or cake pans
For Frosting:
500g whipping cream (about 2 cups)
80 g UBE sweetened condensed milk
2 tsp vanilla paste or liquid
Directions:
Make the batter:
Preheat oven to 350 F
1. In the stand mixer with the whipping attachments, beat eggs with a pinch of salt until fluffy.
2. Without stopping mixing, add in the 300 g condensed milk
3. In a separate bowl combine flour with baking powder. Slowly, in parts, add in to the egg mixture.
4. Use silicon mats and pour batter on sprayed or oiled mats directly. We used two mats and made them the same size. We made two rectangles.
5. Bake for about 10 minutes. We suggest baking each layer separately. We find they cook differently on different layers.
Make the Frosting:
1. Beat cold whipping cream with vanilla. When whipped, slowly add in the ube condensed milk
Once the cake is cooled, assemble. We cut each layer in half both width wise and lengthwise, resulting in a total of 8 layers of cake.
Assemble cake spreading the frosting evenly between all layers. Put frosting all around the sides and top. Put in the fridge to sit for at least 2 hours. We left ours overnight.
Decorate with chocolate or berries.
What we liked:
It was really fun to make and eat.
What we didn't like:
The layers were very thin and would do something differently next time.
What Kaspian thought about it:
He liked it, so did Brenton
Next time:
Use different forms or spread them thinner or perhaps do a different batter altogether.
