1 jar of apricot jam
2 oranges
2 packs of butter
400 g powdered sugar
Dark chocolate
Baking paper
How to proceed
Give Christmas a delicious layer cake twist!
Take three of our Christmas marzipan tarts with delicious Christmas spices and spread apricot jam on top of two of them. Place the cakes on top of each other - the third one should be on top without jam on top.
Soften the butter and grate in the orange zest for extra Christmas cheer. Beat the butter with icing sugar until you have a light and fluffy buttercream. Spread the cream all around the cake so it looks nice and cohesive, but leave the top free.
Next, melt the chocolate. Dip a teaspoon into the melted chocolate and draw small Christmas trees on parchment paper. Let them set, and then arrange them upright around the cake.
A great tip!
You can decorate the sides of your Christmas layer cake with whatever Christmas design you like. The only limit is your imagination!
