Caramel Cream Cake with Cherries – Notes
Caramel Delight is a very simple and quick cake, perfect for special occasions. Its base is a white sponge cake, on which I spread Stovit Cherry Jam and caramel cream. The whole is perfectly balanced, delicately tart and slightly sweet. I’m not a fan of very sweet cakes, but I really liked this one. If you prefer sweeter cakes, I suggest pouring milk chocolate on top instead of dark chocolate – as I did.
How to Make Sponge Cake – Tips and Advice
The base of this cake is a white sponge cake. Here, I baked a four-egg sponge cake in a large pan, resulting in a large yet relatively low sponge. Such a sponge cake is ideal for cakes with cream. It layers wonderfully, is light and fluffy, and low in calories. If you don’t know how to make a sponge cake, watch my short preparation video. In it, I make a two-egg sponge cake (for a 22 cm diameter pan); for the caramel delight cake, you’ll make a sponge cake with double the ingredients.
Ingredients for Caramel Cream – and Substitutes
To prepare the caramel cream, or rather caramel mousse, you will need dulce de leche. You can use any dulce de leche here – even a slightly flavored one like vanilla. I used regular traditional dulce de leche, which I chilled for several hours in the refrigerator. This cold dulce de leche needs to be mixed with mascarpone cheese, which also needs to be thoroughly chilled. The third important ingredient for this cream is heavy cream. I used liquid 30% cream from a carton. For the heavy cream to whip well, it must be properly chilled – preferably for several hours, or overnight. Then whipping the cream into whipped cream will be quick and trouble-free.
To make the cream more stable, I added gelatin to it. If you don’t want to add gelatin to the cream, or you don’t have it, you can increase the cream’s stability by using 36% heavy cream, which is thicker than 30% cream, or by adding a cream stabilizer (śmietan-fix).
I also recommend other simple and quick cream cakes such as chocolate-orange square, raspberry meringue, or halva cake with peaches.
