Description
A creative cake designed to look like wavy wet hair, perfect for themed parties or artistic dessert displays.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Food coloring (blue and black)
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1/2 cup fondant (gray or black)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a cake pan.
- In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla.
- Alternately add dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, mixing until smooth.
- Divide batter into two portions. Tint one portion blue and the other black.
- Layer the colored batter in the pan to create a marbled effect. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely. Cover with whipped cream for a wet-look texture.
- Roll out fondant and shape it into wavy hair strands. Arrange on top of the cake.
- Chill before serving.
Notes
- Use gel food coloring for vibrant shades.
- Chill fondant briefly for easier handling.
- For a glossy finish, brush with edible shimmer or light corn syrup.
