Recipe – Lychee Cake
It’s the BFF’s birthday and I decided to bake her a birthday cake! I have been baking alot ofred velvet cupcakes,double chocolate muffinsor simpler cakes like巧克力邦特蛋糕. But I have never tried doing a big cake with frosting. Abit challenging leh and I am really still amateur when it comes to frosting a cake. But this cannot fail!
在我烤这款蛋糕的前一周,我友好的面部阿姨将我送给Pine Garden的可爱的Lychee Martini蛋糕。啊!想法来了!我会做一个荔枝蛋糕!很难在网上找到食谱,因为全世界都在说Pine Garden的Lychee Martini蛋糕有多好,但是没有人分享Lychee Cake Conecipe lah!T_T
I have to skip the martini because there are 3 kids in her house! Baking the sponge cake is easy, making the frosting is easy. While waiting for my cake to be ready, I was searching hard in youtube to find ways to frost a cake properly. After looking at countless videos, they all kinda give me the same idea so I just whack it. I think I pass for the surface lah, but the sides fail. That is why you will see my photos all in weird angles, because I want to avoid the ugly sides. HAHAHA!

成分(用于乳霜糖霜)
2 cups of whipping cream
3汤匙糖糖(如果您有爱吃甜食的话,请添加更多……)
1-2 teaspoons lychee essence
1-2滴玫瑰粉色的颜色(我用1滴,在糖霜之前很漂亮,但是当糖霜的颜色以某种方式看起来像蛋糕一样苍白。下次会尝试2-3滴。)
2 cans of lychee (remove the sugar syrup)

1. Sift ingredients (A) and put it aside
2.搅拌蛋黄和糖,直到变成浅黄色
3. Add oil, water and lychee essence and mix till well blended
4. Add ingredients (A) and mix it slowly till it forms a smooth batter
5. Whisk (C) till stiff peak
6. Fold in 1/3 of egg yolk mixture into the egg white gently. Repeat for the remaining egg yolk mixture.
7. Preheat oven to 180°C.
8.将蛋糕粉倒入蛋糕罐中。(我正在使用7英寸蛋糕锡)
9. Bake in oven for 30-45 minutes. (Try not to open up and check because sponge may fail.)
10. While baking, mix all frosting ingredients except lychee to stiff peak.
11.切成1罐的刑事。
12. Mix with half of the whipped cream. Refrigerate both whipped cream until ready to use.
13. Remove cake from oven once it’s cooked, invert and cool.
14.将蛋糕切成一半(顶部和底部)。
15. Layer whipped cream with the lychee bits between the cake.
16.撒上烤蛋糕,用烤奶油奶油,没有荔枝碎。
17.用剩下的荔枝和其他您想要的其他特殊物品装饰蛋糕!
P/S: If you’d want to the Lychee Martini version, you may soak your lychees into vodka for 30 minutes to 2 hours (depends on your preferred taste intensity) and drain well before cutting. Add 1-2 teaspoons of vodka into your cake batter before baking.
BFF生日快乐,愿您永远漂亮,开朗和疯狂!看,宝贝罗密欧也爱我的柠檬蛋糕!也许我会将其制作成荔枝纸杯蛋糕,绝对容易管理!
I too have a lychee cake recipe….but I use the boxed French Vanilla flavor and substitute some of the water with the juice of the lychee and while whipping my whipped cream, I add a little vanilla and a tip of the lychee juice to add lychee flavor and it comes out good.
I am going to try to make this cake. Thank you for the recipe, lah!
