Anleitung
For the shortcrust pastry: (makes 3 bases, then bake the same amount again for the 3 other bases)
- Preheat the oven to 180°C top/bottom heat. I baked the biscuit bases in 2 rounds using 3 baking tins. You can bake the biscuit bases the night before.
- In a mixing bowl, mix flour, sugar, starch, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the oil, water, oat milk, and vinegar and stir quickly by hand with a whisk until all lumps have dissolved.
- Then divide the dough into 3 portions and color each one with a little food coloring.
- Grease the 3 18cm springform pans and pour in the colored dough.
- Tap the dough in the molds on the work surface a few times to remove any air bubbles, then bake on a wire rack for 25 minutes. Leave it to cool completely in the mold.
- Then carefully remove the biscuit bases from the mold and bake another batch of sponge cake bases for the next 3 colors and let them cool down in the mold.
- Spray with water while it is still hot to keep them juicy.
For the filling:
- Whip the cream. Mix the whipped cream with sugar in a cup, then pour into the cream and continue beating for about 30 seconds.
- Beat the cream cheese with 2-3 tablespoons of the whipping cream until the mixture is creamy.
- Mix cream and cream cheese. Level the bases with a pastry knife.
- On a cake stand, alternate layers with 1-2 tablespoons of the cream to create a rainbow.
- Spread the rest of the cream all over.
- Color the last part as desired and pipe onto the cake. Popper and sprinkles on top - done!
