    It is happening again – me, myself and I plus some other bloggers gathered (yet again) to hopefully surprise somebody special – Life is full of Love! :)

    Wedding Cake | Bake to the roots
    Wedding Cake | Bake to the roots

    This time it is not a blog birthday we are celebrating, like we did couple weeks ago (here is the link to the blog birthday post) – nope! We are celebrating something completely different today! I guess you already got the hint from the headline :P

    Exactly – there is a wedding! A blogger colleague – Mara from lifeisfullofgoodies.com is celebrating her wedding today! Yaaaay! :)) A very good reason to open a bottle with sparkling something and eat some cake! I could not resist and had to make a wedding cake – it’s a wedding right? So you need a wedding cake ;) The cake had to be eaten without the bride and groom Mara and Timm, but I suppose that is fine…

    Life is full of Love

    Life is full of love – a very nice motto for a wedding, right? This little big cake I made had to be dressed up for the event and got some edible gold foil for decorations. It is a wedding! You have to dress up fancy, right? :)

    The plan was to make a small cake for only two persons, but somehow more and more buttercream ended up on that cake… I guess now half of the family can have a slice. But that’s not a bad thing – just don’t count the calories….

    BTW – the cake is a Champagne Cake with Champagne Buttercream – of course you can also use sparkling wine if you don’t have a big bottle Dom Pérignon Champagne* in the fridge :P

    I wish Mara and Timm all the best on their way together in life – loads of Champagne and many many cakes! Did somebody throw/catch the flower bouquet already??

    At the end of this post I am going to tell you who else was participating in this little secret surprise – but now to the recipe first…

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch
    1. Preheat the oven to 350˚F (175°C). Line three 7 inch (18cm) springform tins with baking parchment, grease and dust with flour. Set aside. Sift the flour into a bowl and mix with baking powder and salt. Set aside.

    2. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Set aside. Add the butter and sugar to a large bowl and mix on high speed until light and fluffy. Add the flour in two parts, alternating with the champagne/sparkling wine and mix until just combined. Add 1/2 of the egg whites to the bowl and mix in carefully. Add the remaining egg whites and fold in carefully – the batter should stay light and fluffy. Divide the batter evenly among the tins and bake for 22-26 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Run a sharp knife around the cake to loosen it from the tin and let them cool down completely on a wire rack. You can bake the cakes actually one day in advance if you like.

    3. For the buttercream add the butter to a large bowl and beat on high speed until light and fluffy. Sift the confectioner’s sugar on top, add vanilla extract and beat first on low speed then on high speed until light and fluffy. Add champagne/sparkling wine gradually and mix until you reach the desired consistency.

    4. Slice the cakes into 2-3 layers each (depends how high the cakes have risen). I cut the cake layers into smaller circles to get a cake that looks thinner and higher. Place the first cake layer on a serving plate and spread some butter cream on top. Repeat with cake and buttercream until all cake layers are used. Crumb coat the cake and place in the fridge for about 15 minutes. Finish the cake with one last layer of buttercream and decorate with gold powder and edible gold foil.

    1. Den Ofen auf 175°C (350°F) vorheizen. Drei 18cm (7 inch) Springformen mit Backpapier auslegen, fetten und mit Mehl ausstäuben. Zur Seite stellen. Mehl in eine Schüssel sieben und mit dem Backpulver und Salz vermischen. Zur Seite stellen.

    2. Das Eiweiß steif schlagen und zur Seite stellen. Die Butter mit dem Zucker in einer großen Schüssel auf höchster Stufe aufschlagen, bis alles hell und luftig ist. Das Mehl in zwei Portionen, abwechselnd mit dem Sekt zugeben und gut verrühren. 1/4 des Eiweiß zugeben und vorsichtig unterrühren. Das restliche Eiweiß vorsichtig unterheben. Den Teig gleichmäßig auf die Backformen verteilen und im Ofen für 22-26 Minuten backen – mit einem Zahnstocher testen, ob noch Teig kleben bleibt und erst herausnehmen, wenn der Zahnstocher sauber herauskommt. Den Kuchen mit einem scharfen Messer vom Rand lösen und dann auf einem Kuchengitter komplett auskühlen lassen. Die Kuchenböden können schon einen Tag vorher gebacken werden.

    3. Für die Buttercreme die Butter in einer großen Schüssel auf höchster Stufe aufschlagen, bis sie hell und luftig ist. Puderzucker darübersieben und Vanille Extrakt zugeben – erst auf niedriger Stufe, dann auf höchster Stufe luftig aufschlagen. Den Champagner/Sekt nach und nach zugeben, bis die gewünschte Konsistenz erreicht ist.

    4. Die Böden in jeweils 2-3 Schichten schneiden (je nachdem wie gut die Böden aufgegangen sind). Ich hab die Böden nochmal etwas kleiner geschnitten, damit die Torte schmaler wird. Die erste Kuchenschicht auf die Servierplatte legen und etwas von der Buttercreme darauf verteilen – dann wieder eine Kuchenschicht dann Buttercreme usw. Eine dünne Schicht Buttercreme (Crumb Coat) auf der Torte verteilen und für 15 Minuten in den Kühlschrank stellen. Mit der restlichen Buttercreme eine weitere Schicht auf die Torte aufbringen und nach belieben verzieren. Mit Goldpuder und Blattgold dekorieren.

    About me


    Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
    I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
