Amerikai zászlós torta - július 4-re vagy csak úgy.
Ingredients for the cake (makes 20-24 servings):
18 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature
3 cups sugar
6 extra-large eggs at room temperature
1 cup sour cream at room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 cups flour
1/3 cup corn-starch
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
Ingredients for the icing:
450 gr unsalted butter at room temperature
680 gr pounds cream cheese at room temperature
450 gr pound confectioners’ sugar, sifted
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
To assemble:
500 ml blueberries
700 ml strawberries or raspberries
Preparation:
- Heat the oven to 180 degrees C°.
- Butter and flour a 46cm x33cm x 4cm sheet pan.
- Cream the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment on high speed, until light and fluffy. On medium speed, add the eggs, 2 at a time, then add the sour cream and vanilla. Scrape down the sides and stir until smooth.
- Sift togetherthe flour, cornstarch, salt, and baking soda in a bowl. With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture to the butter mixture until just combined. Pour into the prepared pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the center of the oven for 20 to 30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool to room temperature.
- For the icing, combine the butter, cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mixing just until smooth.
- Spread three-fourths of the icing on the top of the cooled sheet cake. Outline the flag on the top of the cake with a toothpick. Fill the upper left corner with blueberries. Place rows of strawberries (or raspberries) across the top of the cake, like a red stripe. Put the remaining icing in a pastry bag fitted with a star tip and pipe two rows of white stripes below the raspberries. Alternate rows of red berries and icing until the flag is completed.
- You can serve this cake right in the pan. If you want to turn it out onto a board before frosting, use parchment paper when you grease and flour the pan.
