SPONGE CAKE HEARTS


Everyone loves vanilla sponge cake and there is a variety of ways to use it. Here I have created mini heart cakes covered in chocolate. Perfect little treat :)

Ingredients :
  • 4 eggs
  • 120 g cake flour
  • 120 g sugar
  • 30 g butter
  • 40 ml milk
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0,5 tsp salt
  • food coloring (optional)
  • chocolate of choice

Beat the egg whites till soft peaks, then start adding one tsp of sugar at a time and mix on high speed till stiff.

Add the egg yolks and whisk gently till combined.
Sieve in the flour and baking powder in 3 parts, whisking gently after every addition. Melt the butter and let it cool to room temp. Add the butter, milk, salt, vanilla extract and food coloring of choice to the mixture and whisk till combined.

Grease a 25 x 30 cm baking pan and line the bottom with baking paper. Spread the batter evenly. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 15 - 20 minutes. Let it cool to room temperature.
Use heart shape cutters to cut out the shapes from the cake.

Melt the chocolate in the microwave and coat the cakes. Place the cakes in the fridge for atleast 20 minutes to firm.

You can also make cute heart cake pops by inserting a cake pop stick half way into the cakes and then coating them with chocolate.

The end result is adorable and delicious, enjoy :)
