How to make Fondant Cake (Recipe)


How to make a Fondant Cake
Ingredients:-
1 cup all purpose flour(maida)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil (I prefer Canola) or you can use pure ghee
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
8-10 drops of vanilla or any other essence(a/c to ur choice)
(For 2 cups just double the recipe)
Method:-
1. In a large bowl or plate sift(2-3 times) together the flour,baking powder & baking soda.
2. In other bowl take milk, sugar,vanilla essence & oil stir it well with the help of either hand blender,electronic blender or whisk (for 2-3 min)
3. Preheat the oven at 350F/180C for 15 minutes. Lightly grease pan and sprinkle some flour to avoid the stickiness.
4. Now add the flour(1st bowl mixture) in to 2nd bowl & blend it all together for 10 to min, avoid the lumps.
5. Pour the batter in to prepared greased pan, tap the pan to even it out and break the air bubbles if any.
6.Bake it for 20-25 min. check in between with the help of toothpick or any other long stick for its doneness, if the batter get stick with the toothpick keep it for some more time.
7.Place the cake on the rack for it to cool down completely before putting the icing or frosting on it.
8. You can use any icing on it like a butter cream, whipping cream or can use fondant(a/c to ur choice & taste)
9. I always prefer to use whipping cream, it tastes yum. For that use heavy whipping cream(can get easily in HEB,Kroger or Walmart)(sorry guys don't know about there in India, if it is easily available or not ).
10.Chill the bowl and whisk attachment of a stand mixer(can use hand blender too ) for 20 min. in the refrigerator or 5 min. in the freezer. Pour the heavy cream into the bowl and whisk on medium-high speed until it just starts to thicken. Slow the speed down to medium and gradually pour in the sugar. Continue to whisk until soft peaks form.
Add the vanilla extract and continue to whisk by hand until the cream is smooth, and stiff peaks form (the cream will stand up straight when the whisk is raised).
11. Your frosting is ready to use on the cake, now spread it well with the help of spatula.
12. Fill the icing cones with you desirable icing color & tip & make designs according to ur ideas..can take the help of Youtube.
13. You can also use ready to use fondant & gumpaste to make beautiful cakes (but its kind of much sweet)
Enjoy the recipe & please let me know how it turned out
