Instructions for Making Cake with Ready-Made Cake:
1. To start making the cake with a ready-made base, begin by preparing the filling. In a saucepan, combine 2 cups of milk, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and 1 egg. Cook over medium heat until it boils. If desired, add 2 pieces of rose Turkish delight and stir until the Turkish delight is melted. Then, add 1 tablespoon of butter and remove from heat.
2. In this recipe, we used 3 layers of cake base. After placing each layer, make holes on top and soak with approximately 3 tablespoons of milk (How much milk to soak the ready-made cake?).
3. Spread half of the filling on the first layer, place pineapple and banana slices, and cover with the second layer. You can use different fruits according to your preference.
4. Repeat the same process for the remaining layers. Apply a thin layer of whipped cream all over the cake.
5. Place 6 wooden skewers parallel on top and sprinkle cake decorations row by row.
6. Pour tart jellies with red and blue food coloring in between the cake decorations.
7. Sprinkle grated dark chocolate in a row.
8. Drip red jelly from the edges to let it flow downwards. You can watch all the steps in the video below.
9. Fill a whipped cream bag with cherry jam for coloring and apply whipped cream to decorate the edges of the cake.
10. Let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours before serving. Enjoy your cake!
Your fruit cake is sure to be one of the most impressive cakes made from ready-made bases.
