Bake 2 at a time at 175C for 4-5 minutes or until golden. T<br \/>\nransfer to a wire rack and let cool completely before stacking. Repeat with the remaining layers.<br \/>\nFinally, bake the scraps separated, once the scraps are baked golden, cooled and firm, pulse them in a food processor until you have fine crumbs.<br \/>\n<strong>How to make the frosting:<\/strong><br \/>\nBeat 300ml thickened cream until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, whisk together 800ml sour cream with 2 cups sifted icing sugar. Fold the whipped cream into the sour cream and you have your frosting. Refrigerate until ready to use. If too runny whip it more.<br \/>\nAssembling your Cake: Spread about 1\/3 cup frosting on each cake layer (don&#8217;t skimp on it since the cake needs to absorb some of the cream to become ultra soft.<br \/>\nPress the cake layers down gently as you go to keep the layers from having air gaps.<br \/>\nFrost the top and sides with the remaining frosting. Dust the top and sides with your breadcrumbs, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.<br \/>\nThis cake needs time to absorb some of the cream and soften, so be patient. It&#8217;s worth the wait!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ingredients 4 Tbsp honey (1\/4 cup) 3\/4 cup white sugar 2 Tbsp unsalted butter (30g) 3 large eggs room temperature, beaten with a fork 1 tsp baking soda 3 cups all-purpose flour, sifted Sour Cream Frosting Ingredients 800ml sour cream 2 cups icing sugar 300ml thickened cream Instructions How to Make The Cake Layers: Add<span class=\"more-link\">&hellip;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":18928,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_daextam_enable_autolinks":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18927","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cakes-breads"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/resepmamiku.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18927","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/resepmamiku.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/resepmamiku.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/resepmamiku.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/resepmamiku.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18927"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/resepmamiku.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18927\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20040,"href":"https:\/\/resepmamiku.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18927\/revisions\/20040"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/resepmamiku.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18928"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/resepmamiku.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18927"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/resepmamiku.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18927"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/resepmamiku.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18927"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
