A Triple-Decker Cake! Easy and Perfect!
Hi Guys! So recently, I made a triple-decker birthday cake, varying four flavors that tasted great together- mango, red velvet, vanilla and chocolate. At first, I thought it would come out terrible and the taste would be a mix. But it was an amazing cake, with berries and sprinkles too! This cake was probably my first, and I think I did well considering I didn't have any proper frosting and baking tools at that time. It does look a little messy, but close ones will love the effort, not to mention the unbelievable taste! I'll show you the inside of this colorful cake at the end of this post. I'll also be giving a couple tips for baking too! But for now, to make this cake, I will show you how to did it- It's long, but super easy!😄😋😍😎
This cake really has an unbelievable taste... it was sweet but not too sweet, and creamy but not too creamy.. it was literally perfect!
Serves- 8-10 People
Preparation Time- 10 minutes
Cooking Time- 4-5 hours (For the Entire Triple-Decker Cake)
Total Time- 4-5 and a 1/2 hours, probably (It took me about that long...)
To Make This Unbelievable Tasty Cake-
- I made this cake a day before it was to be cut...
- First, bake two Mango Cakes, (in large tins/pans)- and I have already posted it's recipe- Eggless Mango Cake! No Condensed Milk! . Let both the cakes cool down first, then put them in the refrigerator for half an hour each.
- That way, when cooled down-baked items are refrigerated, it is easier to remove from their tin/pan, and it is easier to cut them without crumbs falling out.
- Then bake a Red Velvet Cake, (in a smaller tin/pan)- and I have already posted it's recipe- Moist and Easy, Eggless Red Velvet Cake! . Let this cake cool down as well, and use the same trick to refrigerate them so they come out and cut easily.
- Next, take out both the Mango Cakes, and remove them from their tins/pans and place them in plates. Slightly cut off the top of both- I was afraid of cutting off too much as they were quite thin. Both the Mango Cakes height will be almost equal to the height of the Red Velvet Cake. Put the Mango Cakes in the refrigerator for a while again for its texture and so the crumbs won't fall out.
- Then, make some Vanilla Buttercream (Frosting)- and I have already posted it's recipe- Homemade Vanilla Buttercream (Frosting)! 5 Everyday Ingredients! . Let it set in the refrigerator for a while so it won't melt. It will be soft and creamy, and the thickness will be perfect.
- I took out the Red Velvet Cake, and slightly cut of the top. I let it rest for a while in the fridge.
- After that, start stacking the Cakes. Take out the bigger Mango Cake for a big base, and put some remaining Mango Glaze on it from the Mango Cakes recipe. Then stack the second Mango Cake on the first one.
- Take out the Vanilla Buttercream (Frosting) and apply some on the upper Mango Cake, on top of its Mango Glaze. Put the smaller Red Velvet Cake on top of this, and then cover the entire Cake in the Vanilla Buttercream (Frosting). Now, put the entire cake into the refrigerator so the Vanilla Buttercream (Frosting) won't melt.
- While it is setting, take a couple Fruits (Kiwis, Cherries and Mangos) and cut them into pieces to decorate the cake. Take out the cake put the Fruit Pieces on it.
- Next, make some Chocolate Ganache, to drip on the sides and top. I have already posted this recipe too- Chocolate Ganache! (2 Ingredients!) . For this recipe, you should use the Chocolate Ganache immediately so it doesn't set. Take out the entire frosted cake from the fridge and started dripping the Chocolate Ganache on the sides and spread it on the top.
- Finally, top with any toppings you would like (I used Star-Shaped Sprinkles and the Fruits Pieces). Put the triple-decker cake in the refrigerator again, and let it sit until an hour before cutting.
- NOTE- Before cutting the cake, if you let it sit in the fridge for a long time (I let mine sit for a day), then remove for an hour. This way, it won't be frozen and too hard to cut, but just simply perfect. Also, let the cake refrigerate properly at/in intervals so it sets just right. You might need to refrigerate it for a long time, and maybe for more intervals-Make sure the frosting doesn't melt.
And now for the inside...
