method

Cake:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9” x 13” baking tray with butter and dust with flour.

  • In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, oil, marmalade, Hedessent Crispy Doughnut and Tahitian Bean flavour drops, and sour cream until just combined.

  • Add sugar, all-purpose flour, cake flour, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon to the wet ingredients. Mix well to form a thick, smooth batter.

  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking tray and bake for 30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few small crumbs.

  • Cool the cake on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes. Once cool, use a 3” round cutter (or shape of your choice) to cut out cake rounds. Let them cool further on a wire rack.

Cream Filling:

  • In a medium bowl, whip mascarpone cheese, sugar, Apple, Ginger, and Lemon flavour drops until smooth and fluffy. Chill in the fridge until ready to use.

Assembly:

  • Transfer the mascarpone filling to a piping bag fitted with your preferred nozzle.

  • Pipe a layer of mascarpone onto a cake round, then sandwich with another round.

  • Pipe more mascarpone on top of the sandwich and garnish with apple chips, candied ginger, or lemon disks.

  • Repeat with the remaining cake rounds.
