Drip Cake Recipe – Champagne Cake

Drip Cake is a trend that is slowly arriving and replacing Naked Cake. The cake is decorated with the icing (or syrup), which is carefully poured over the entire cake, creating a dripping effect. A relaxed and cheerful cake that goes with any event.

Mom Tips

To make the cake in the photo you will need three dough recipes. You will use one and a half cakes on the first floor and the rest on the second floor. Shapes measuring 35 cm and 25 cm in diameter.

Remember that tiered cakes must have stakes. O staking is an assembly technique that allows you to obtain cakes with more than one floor. It serves to prevent the upper cake from sinking onto the lower one.

Give preference to legitimate whipped cream. See the second version of the recipe at Homemade Whipped Cream (Two Versions).

You can decorate the cake with flowers, fruits and contrast colors.
