MERENGUE BUTTERCREAM ingredients.
- 4 egg whites pasteurized.
- 225g. white sugar.
- 350 g of butter.
- One tablespoon of vanilla extract.
Preparing the buttercream:
1. Put the egg whites and sugar in a bowl over a water bath over a saucepan of hot water without allowing it to boil and beat with hand mixer until warm and mix lightly that the sugar is completely dissolved.
2. put the mixture on the bowl of the Kitchen Aid( mixer ) and leave it until completely cool. mix the whites on medium speed until soft peaks do. add the diced butter and gradually beat about 8-10 minutes on medium speed to buttercream. In my case I added to this final point a drop of pink coloring gel and beat it again until the color was uniform.
Putting your cake together
1. Working the cake to give it the desired size and get it is completely smooth.
2. Apply chocolate syrup on each cake and apply the buttercream on top. Put one on top and cover them with the remaining buttercream which will be the glue for the fondant.
3. Roll out the fondant and cover the cake with it. decorate as you wish .
