Simple Birthday Cake

Last month was my boy friend’s birthday, I wanted to give birthday cake for him but I have no enough money to order cake in bakery shop, I guessed it will be spend money more than Rp.50.000. I got one solution that I made birthday cake by my hand. I opened cake magazine to find cake that has simple ingredients then I found it.  However, I must changed that recipes to appropriate what I wanted because that recipe actually how to make brownies, I did not want to make chocolate or black cake like brownies so I did not put chocolate powder and peanut. Finally I succeed made simple birthday cake to my boy friend.  My boy friend felt so happy and he said” It is delicious!” Do you want to make simple birthday cake to people who you love?
Let me show you how to make simple birthday cake with cheap price.

The main thing is you should prepare the ingredients of that cake there are; 4 eggs, 175 gram sugar, 100 gram margarine (melting), 150 gram wheat flavor, 1 tea spoon of TBM. I need 4 eggs because the baking pan just have size 16cm x 20cm, if you want to make cake bigger you can add 2 eggs more, and you can use baking-pan which have size 20cm x 20cm. Amount of sugar is depend on your appetite, if you like sweet taste you can add 25 gram more than my recipe or if you use 6 eggs with bigger baking-pan you can add more sugar. To use margarine that was melting, you should wait till margarine become cool. My suggestion, you should use good quality of wheat flavor for example “segitiga biru” to make this cake cook perfectly. 1 tea spoon of TBM, you can change this emulsifier with SP or another emulsifier.

                Then you should prepare the ingredients to decorate cake as birthday there are; white margarine, chocolate cream, blueberry jam, milk cream, ceres messes and flower chip. I use white margarine because it makes me easy to color it and I give milk cream when I shake white margarine, it makes sweet taste of margarine. Chocolate cream, you can buy it in supermarket. Many brands of chocolate cream there, you can choose one, and do not buy it too much because we just use it little. Blueberry jam, I use this because I love this color is purple, you can use other jam for example strawberry jam or peanut jam, it is depend on you. Messes and flower chip, you can find it in cake shop with many colors there.

How to make this cake? After we prepare all of materials of this cake we can start to make this cake. First, shake eggs and sugar until stiff, add wheat flavor, TBM, and margarine, stir well. Add batter into baking pan. Actually this cake cooking by baking-oven but for me, it is really danger because sometime,  If I cook cake by using baking-oven and it means cake cook by roast, the cake often will be burned. That’s why I chase to cook this cake by steam it. Steam it around 30 minutes, lift and left it. Wait around 1 hour then out this cake from baking-pan and decorated cake base on your creation. Buttered it use white margarine that was shaking with milk cream, you can give food-color into white margarine base on your creation. Put chocolate cream, jam, messes, and flower chip arrange them base on your creation. Finally, give it to people who you love, they will be happy like my boy friend. After that I decorated this cake by my creation and this is the result.
