Chocolate & Banana Carp Banner Cake for Kid's Day
- 3 cm thick 18 cm diameter chocolate sponge cake
- 3 Bananas
- 1 Chocolate decorating pen
- 200 ml Heavy cream
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- 2 tbsp Cocoa
- Mix together the ingredients as shown in "No Need for Chocolate!
- Cocoa Chocolate Mousse" to make the cream.
- Slice the spongecake into a thickness of 1-1.5 cm.
- I used the chocolate spongecake from.
- Place the sliced cake onto a sheet of parchment paper about the size of a sheet of printing paper.
- Thinly coat the surface with the cream and place a banana on top, as shown in the photo.
- Completely cover the banana with the cream.
- Since the cream is spread onto the banana, the sides will be somewhat lower.
- Roll it up just like you would roll up a regular rollcake.
- Hold the edge of the paper closest to you and wrap it up away from you.
- Place the seam end on the bottom and form the shape.
- (Don't smash it down too much.
- It'll look nice if shaped on the taller side.)
- Open up the paper and place the cake so that it's vertical from you.
- It'll be good if you eat it just like this too.
- It will look like this when viewed from the side.
- Close the openings on both edges of the roll cake by pushing it gently shut from the left and the right.
- It will look like this from the above.
- Thinly coat the surface with the cream.
- Cut the cake in half straight through the middle.
- Thinly slice the other banana into 2 mm slices.
- Decorate the thinner ends of the cakes with the thin slices of banana to make the scales, and push them into the cream to stick.
- Don't stick bananas onto the thicker ends of the cake, leave those sides open.
- Use the chocolate decorating pen to make eyes on the ends of the cake left undecorated.
- If you look at the cakes from the cut end, it looks like their mouths are open.
