How to make two-color chess-shaped cream cake

I always envy other people’s tables full of delicious food. So, here I will show you how to make the Double Color Chessboard Cream Cake.

1.121 Beat with a whisk for about 5 minutes until the butter becomes light and fluffy, increases in volume and becomes lighter in color

2.212First make the cake base. After the butter is softened, add fine sugar

3.1 The mixed butter should be as shown in the picture. The entire step of adding the eggs may take 3-5 minutes

4.2 Add eggs in three batches and beat until smooth. Each time you need to beat the eggs until they are completely blended with the butter before adding the next

5.1 Pour half of the batter into a 17cm square baking pan and smooth it out, and keep the other half of the batter for later use. (If you don’t have a baking tray, you can use the homemade tin foil mold as shown in the picture, http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_4a5089ff0100c92t.html). Put the baking tray into the oven preheated to 175 degrees and bake for about 10 minutes, until fully expanded and slightly golden in color. Take it out and cool it down, and the original cake slice is ready

6.2 Mix the low-gluten flour and baking powder evenly, sift into the whipped butter, and use a rubber spatula to mix into a batter. Finally, add milk and mix well until the milk is completely absorbed by the batter.

7. Next, make the chocolate batter. Mix cocoa powder and baking soda until smooth. Pour hot water

8. Stir into a paste

9.12 Pour the cocoa paste into the remaining half of the batter. Stir well with a spatula. Pour the batter into a 17CM square baking pan of the 17-color chessboard cream cake, put it into the oven preheated to 175 degrees, and bake for about 10 minutes. After taking it out and cooling it, the chocolate cake slice is baked.

10.21 The baked cake slices may have some bumps on them. Use a knife to trim the surface of the cake slices and cut off any irregular edges. (Don’t throw away the cut scraps, they will be used later)

11. Cut the two colors of cake slices into three pieces each as shown in the picture

12. Take a piece of original cake and brush it with rum syrup

13. Then apply a layer of buttercream

14. Cover with a slice of chocolate cake

15. Brush with rum syrup, spread with buttercream frosting and cover with original cake slices. In this way, you can get two cakes in total. One is stacked in the order of "yellow-black-yellow", and the other is stacked in the order of "black-yellow-black". Place both cakes in the freezer for about 10 minutes until the buttercream hardens.

16. Take out the frozen cake. Cut each strip into three pieces as shown in the picture.

17. After cutting, you can get three pieces of cake with the colors of "black-yellow-black" and three pieces of cake with the colors of "yellow-black-yellow"

18. Take a piece of cake, brush it with rum syrup and apply buttercream frosting.

19. Cover with another cake slice of opposite color

20. Continue to brush with rum syrup, apply buttercream frosting, and cover with the third cake slice. By following the same steps, you can get two cake strips with opposite square distributions. Place the cake strips back into the freezer for 10 minutes until the buttercream hardens.

21. Put the remaining cake scraps into the oven and bake at 170 degrees for about 10 minutes until dry. After cooling, rub it into crumbs with your hands

22. Take out the frozen cake strips and apply a layer of buttercream on all sides

23. Place the cake strips coated with buttercream into the cake crumbs so that all four sides are covered with cake crumbs.

24. After cutting the cake, you can see neat chessboard on the cross section.

I believe that after reading the introduction to the method of making the two-color chessboard cream cake, you will find that this dish is actually not difficult to make. Of course, it may be difficult for you if you are making it for the first time, but if you try a few more times, you will definitely be able to make the most delicious one.
