Egg in a Basket Cake topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 1 box (450g) dry white sponge cake mix (plus necessary ingredients)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 jar (450 g) of white glaze
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 3-4 drops of yellow food coloring
- 3/4 cup marshmallow fluff
- 1 half canned peach, thoroughly dried
- Finely grated dark chocolate for sprinkling
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 9-inch (22 cm) square cake pan with cooking spray. Mix the batter according to package directions; pour into the pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30–35 minutes. Let cool slightly, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Trim the top of the cake with a long serrated knife to make it flat, then cut the cake in half horizontally.
- After stacking the cakes, use a small serrated knife to round the corners on one side; make cuts on two opposite sides and on the top to create the shape of a slice of bread.
- Carefully place the top layer on a baking sheet and cut out a circle with a diameter of 8-10 cm from the middle.
- Brush the top with melted butter and fry until golden brown.
- Combine the frosting, cocoa powder, and yellow food coloring in a small bowl until the mixture turns light brown. Spread about half of the frosting onto the bottom cake layer.
- Carefully place the top layer of cake on top (hold it with two spatulas, as it will be fragile). Spread a thin layer of frosting around the sides of the cake to create a crust-like texture.
- Stir the marshmallow cream until smooth, then spoon it into the hole in the cake.
- Place a peach half on top of the marshmallow and gently press down so the edges are slightly embedded. Let it sit for a few minutes to set. Sprinkle with grated chocolate to resemble black pepper.
