Notes

Cake

  1. If you are thinking to use wheat flour add extra 1/4 cup extra water else the cake might turn dense
  2. Trimming the cake is totally optional. For even frosting, I prefer trimming the outer layer
  3. For Mickey mouse cake you need three cakes but you can also make one eggless vanilla cake without doing character cake hence I have given measurements for one cake
  4. If you are planning to skip character cake and serve eggless cake add 2 more tablespoon of sugar
  5. you can use flavorless oil instead of butter
  6. To bake a cake in pan: Preheat a heavy-bottomed pan for 5-6 minutes until it turns hot. Place a stand and keep the cake pan. Cover the heated pan with a lid and bake for 35 to 40 minutes in low – medium heat until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. You can also bake the cake in a cooker, place the cake tray on the hot pot stand or ring. Cover and bake for 45 to 55 mins on a low flame. When the cake is done, a skewer inserted comes out clean

Sugar syrup

 For the moist cake, Add a generous amount of sugar syrup and soak the cake else refrigerated cake might taste dense

Heavy cream frosting

  1. Frosting can be done with whipping cream and sugar but vanilla pudding mix gives a nice flavor and texture to the cake
  2. You can prepare any frosting according to your taste. Make sure the frosting is convenient for piping

Mickey cake

  1. Tracing mickey face is optional but helps for easy design 
  2. I used sparkle gel to draw border but you can skip it  
  3. The amount of frosting might vary according to your piping technique
