Method

1. Step 1

   You can make a delicious homemade cake with your own hands from natural ingredients. A step-by-step recipe with photos will help you with this. For this cake, I baked the sponge cake in a slow cooker, but you can also bake it in the oven using the same recipe. Beat the cooled eggs with sugar at maximum mixer speed for about 10 minutes, until the mixture becomes thick and the sugar is completely dissolved. Sift the flour, starch and baking powder into the egg mixture and mix gently at medium mixer speed until smooth, 2 minutes.

   
2. Step 2

   Grease the biscuit pan with oil and sprinkle with flour, pour out the dough and place in the oven preheated to 180° for 30 minutes. We don't open the oven. Check readiness with a skewer.

   
3. Step 3

   If you plan to bake in a multicooker, select the baking mode and set the time to 60 minutes. Do not open the multicooker during baking. When the biscuit is ready, remove the bowl and leave until it cools completely.

   
4. Step 4

   Let's start preparing the cream. The butter must be removed from the refrigerator in advance and left to warm up at room temperature. It's best to make this the night before and leave it on the counter. The butter should be soft. We use the fattest butter you can find so that when whipping it does not separate.

   
5. Step 5

   I made the mascarpone myself, the recipe can be found on the page. How to make cream cheese at home is described in detail in the recipe.

   
6. Step 6

   Using a mixer, beat the butter for about 5 minutes, gradually add icing sugar and beat at maximum speed for about 10 minutes until the cream turns white and the powder has dissolved. Gradually add mascarpone, spoon by spoon, without ceasing to beat until all the cheese is combined with the butter and acquires a homogeneous consistency.

   
7. Step 7

   This cream holds its shape perfectly and is even suitable for decorating a cake. Therefore, I divided the entire cream into 2 parts. Add chopped peanuts in a blender to one part and mix gently with a spoon. The second one was left for decoration.

   
8. Step 8

   Cut the sponge cake in half into 2 equal parts. Place one part on a plate and place cream with peanuts on top, spreading evenly over the entire surface of the cake.

   
9. Step 9

   Cover with the second cake layer and decorate the top with the second part of the cream. I put it in a piping bag and decorated all over the surface.

10. Step 10

    I used chocolate and Turkish delight as decoration. You can decorate as you wish, for example adding food coloring to the cream and making a multi-colored pattern.
