17/11/2023

The fidget spinner cake is a themed cake that reflects the shape of the popular fidget spinner toy. It is a sweet temptation that combines the soft fluffiness of whipped cream with the richness of chocolate. Here’s how to prepare it:

Ingredients

For the sponge cake:

  • 4 eggs
  • 120 g of sugar
  • 120 g of flour
  • A pinch of salt

For the chocolate cream:

  • 200 g of dark chocolate
  • 200 ml of whipping cream

For the topping and decoration:

  • 200 ml of whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar
  • Chocolate shavings or sprinkles for decoration

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Start by preparing the sponge cake. Break the eggs by separating the yolks from the whites. Whisk the whites to stiff peaks with a pinch of salt.
  3. In another container, whisk the yolks with the sugar until you get a frothy and light mixture.
  4. Gently fold in the sifted flour into the whipped yolks, mixing from bottom to top so as not to deflate the mixture.
  5. Incorporate the beaten egg whites, combining everything gently.
  6. Pour the mixture into a buttered and floured fidget spinner-shaped mold or, if not available, you can cut the shape from the sponge cake after baking.
  7. Bake in the oven for about 20-25 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick, which should come out clean from the center of the cake.
  8. Let the sponge cake cool on a wire rack.

For the chocolate cream:

  1. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave and let it cool slightly.
  2. Whip the cream and when the chocolate is lukewarm, fold it into the whipped cream.

For the topping and decoration:

  1. Whip the cream with the powdered sugar.
  2. Slice the sponge cake horizontally in half and spread with some of the chocolate cream.
  3. Cover with the other half of the sponge cake and spread the whipped cream over the surface and edges of the cake.
  4. Decorate with chocolate shavings or sprinkles as you like.
