    Lasagna Cake

    This is one ooey-gooey delicious vanilla cake!

    Father’s Day is just around the corner, and nothing says “I love you Dad” like something homemade- and we all know the way to any man’s heart is through his stomach, right? What dad doesn’t love a hearty plate of lasagna? Well this year you can blow Dad’s mind by CAKING one up!

    This Italian classic starts off with 8lbs of my Ultimate Vanilla cake, Italian Meringue Buttercream ricotta cheese, and a healthy dose of red “tomato sauce”. Stacked with chocolate covered rice puff “ground beef”, and wavy fondant noodles, this hefty cake get its “cheese” on with a topping of grated white chocolate!

    The day before you make your cake, create your lasagna noodles by mixing 50/50 (half fondant, half gumpaste) with ivory, buttercup yellow, and golden yellow gel food colouring. Divide into 6 sections, and roll into rectangles slightly larger than your cake layers. To create the wavy pattern, evenly space wine corks under your noodles. Remove once your noodles are a little bit set, ensuring that the curl still holds. Leave in a cool dry place to set.

     Note: To see this technique in action watch my video here


    Bake Your Cake

    Pour your batter into an 11x15” pan and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour 40 minutes minutes


    Level Down & Layer Up

    Level your cakes, and remove the caramelization from the bottom and sides. Cut your cake in half and layer each in 2, leaving you with 4 cake layers.


    Simple Syrup

    Shower all of your cake layers in an even layer of simple syrup.


    Cheese Part 1

    To make the ricotta layer of your cake, mix crumbled meringue cookies with Italian Meringue Buttercream to create a lumpy texture.


    Get Meaty

    Combine melted milk chocolate, white, and black candy melts into a “meaty” color, and mix into your cocoa rice puffs to create “ground beef”


    Saucy

    Mix together Italian Meringue Buttercream, seedless raspberry jam, and red gel food coloring into the perfect “tomato sauce” for your cake. Add a little dried mint for seasoning!


    Assembly Line

    Lay a cake layer on top of your fondant noodle, and add a border of “ground meat”. Repeat with all layers and chill for 5 minutes. Once the “meat” is set, apply a layer of ricotta buttercream to each layer, making sure you also cover the “meat”.


    Stack It Up

    Begin stacking your cheesy, meaty layers, ladling tomato sauce between each, allowing it to drip down the sides, and sprinkle a little dried mint. Place one last noodle on top, and spread on more tomato sauce.


    Cheese Part 2

    Grate some white modelling chocolate, and apply a thin layer to the top of your cake. Use a blow torch to gently melt and brown your cheese.


    Extra Sauce, Extra Cheese

    Ladle one last layer of “tomato sauce” in the center of your cake, controlling the drip down the front, and sprinkle white chocolate shavings on top for parmesan cheese.


    Congratulations!
