12 Layer Vanilla Sponge Cake instructions
- MAKE CAKE LAYERS.
- Preheat oven to 350. Spray 12 - 9 inch cake pans well with bakers spray. I used foil pans as I don't have 12 cake pans.
- Seperate eggs. Put yolks in 1 large bowl and whites in another large bowl. Let stand, covered to come to room temperature, at least 30 minutes.
- Whisk flour, baking soda and salt in bowl, set aside.
- Beat egg yolks with buttermilk, 2 cups of the sugar and vanilla until light and increased in volume, 5 to 8 minutes. Beat in reserved flour mixture just until well blended.
- With clean, dry beaters, beat egg whites and cream of tarter until foamy and increased in volume.
- Gradually add remaing 1/4 cup sugar until glossy firm peaks form.
- Add 1/4 of egg white mixture to yolk mixture and fold in. Add remaining whites to yolks in 3 more additions, folding each addition in being careful not to deflate but thoroughly blending in.
- Evenly divide batter in the 12 prepared pans. I used a one cup measure to scoop and pour into each pan, tapping pans to level batter.
- Bake 4 cakes at a time in preheated oven until light golden, and cake feels dry not sticky. A toothpick will be mostly clean. About 7 to 9 minutes. Cool pans on racks 5 minutes then run a small sharp knife around edges to prevent any sticking.
- MAKE FILLING. Whip cold Chocolate Ganache, recipe attached below https://cookpad.com/us/recipes/352391-whipped-chocolate-ganache-frosting-filling.
- On a serving plate starting with one cake frost each layer with a thin layer of chocolate ganache, sandwichng each layer. Keep top layer un frosted, and chill cake 2 hours to firm up before glazing..
- MAKE CHOCOLATE GLAZE.
- Place semi sweet chocolate on large bowl. Heat cream to a simmer, either stove top or in microwave. Pour over chocolate, let sit undisturbed 1 minute to melt chocolte. Whisk until smooth. Let glaze sit at room temperature until it thickens some but is still able to pour.
- Glaze cake by spooning glaze over top of cake and letting it slide down sides.
- Garnish with sprinkles while glaze is wet to allow to stick. Chill cake to set before cutting..
