Fashion exists not only in clothes, interior or architecture. Sweet decor is also influenced by fashion trends. So, for the second season at the peak of popularity is His Majesty the Black Cake. Home confectioners will be pleased with the fact that it is quite possible to create such a miracle in a home kitchen without expensive inventory or ingredients. The recipes below are examples for inspiration.

Black cake layers cannot be baked by simply adding cocoa powder to the dough, even if it is an alkalized product. It will definitely require additional use of dyes. You can take the Extra Black gel, or you can use natural dyes to add the desired color - activated coconut charcoal and clitoria trifoliate flowers, better known as Matcha blue tea.

The proportions of ingredients to make a black cake will be as follows:

• 500 g flour;
• 10 g of soda;
• 2 g salt;
• 50 g cocoa powder;
• 360 g sugar;
• 4 eggs;
• 500 ml vegetable refined oil;
• 10 g coconut charcoal;
• 10 g blue Matcha tea;
• 10 ml of vanillin extract;
• 200 ml freshly brewed coffee;
• 500 ml of kefir 1%;
• 16 ml of vinegar.

How to knead the dough for cakes:

1. Pour sugar into vegetable oil and beat this mixture with a mixer for 6-8 minutes until a lighter color. Then, at an average speed of rotation of the whisks, one by one, introduce eggs and dyes (charcoal and tea ground into powder).
2. Mix flour with cocoa, salt and soda. Pour a third of this mixture into the egg mass and stir. Then add half of the kefir combined with coffee, and again 1/3 of the flour. Pour vinegar into the remaining kefir with coffee and send the resulting mixture to the dough. Then, add the rest of the flour.
3. Cakes are baked from this dough at 180 degrees until a test for a dry toothpick.

Before assembling the cake, the finished cakes should rest under cling film in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours.

Ready-made pastries are quite porous and slightly moist. If the necessary natural dyes are not at hand, you can bake cakes without them. Saturated black, of course, will not work, but the biscuit will be darker than regular cocoa.

How to make black cream cake

A huge amount of food coloring can not only color the mouth and tongue, but also significantly change the taste of the dessert.

Therefore, the first rule for creating black cream is: deep black can only be obtained by coloring chocolate cream.

Dyes need to use gel Extra Black. They will be able to give a rich color.

Cake cream is used for both filling and topping. For the first and second appointment, cream cheese is ideal.

To make it black you will need:

• 100 g soft butter;
• 100 g extra dark chocolate;
• 300 g creamy curd cheese;
• 100 g of powdered sugar;
• black gel color.

How to make black cream:

1. Beat soft butter, melted chocolate and icing sugar with a mixer until smooth and fluffy.
2. Next, gradually add creamy curd cheese, continuing to mix everything with a mixer.
3. Lastly, add one drop of dye, kneading it well, until the desired shade is obtained.

If enough dye has already been added, but the desired color has not turned out, you should let the mass stand for a while (about half an hour) so that the dye can fully “open up”. Perhaps, after standing, the cream will become darker.

Black currant cake

Recently, berry-fruit layers in cakes have become increasingly popular. For a black cake, blackcurrant confit can be an excellent addition both in taste and color.

Let's prepare it from:

• 300 g of blackcurrant;
• 90 g sugar;
• 10 g of starch;
• 8 g gelatin;
• 48 ml of water.

The order of preparation of the berry layer and assembly of the cake:

1. Soak gelatin in water. Kill the berries with a blender into a homogeneous mass, mix with sugar and starch, and then boil a little until the sugar dissolves and slightly thickens.
2. When the berry base has cooled to 60 degrees, introduce dissolved gelatin into it. After that, pour the confit into a ring with a diameter of 18-20 cm covered with cling film and freeze.
3. Bake two cakes 20 - 22 cm according to the above recipe. After aging in the refrigerator, dissolve each into two thinner cakes, layer them with black cream cheese. Place the frozen confit on the cream between the second and third cakes.

The assembled cake needs to stand for some time in the refrigerator so that the currant layer thaws. The cake can then be flattened and decorated to your liking. For example, you can use whole branches with blackcurrant berries, lightly dusting them with golden kandurin.

With chocolate icing

You can paint the cake black with an extremely black chocolate mirror glaze. It is ideal for chocolate smudges and as a mousse cake topper.

To prepare chocolate mirror glaze, you do not need a kitchen thermometer or tricky, hard-to-find ingredients:

• 8 g of sheet gelatin;
• 170 g of sugar;
• 90 ml of water;
• 50 g of heavy cream (from 33%);
• 50 g cocoa powder;
• 40 g dark chocolate.

Cooking:

1. Soak the gelatin sheet in ice water.
2. Mix the prescription rate of water, sugar and cream in a saucepan and boil. Add cocoa powder to the boiling mixture and boil for one to two minutes.
3. After that, remove the icing from the heat and put the broken chocolate into it. Stir everything until it dissolves. Next, lay out the squeezed gelatin and stir everything again.
4. Now it's time to get the blender and beat the glaze with it until smooth. This is done at an angle so that air bubbles do not form. The finished mass is filtered through a sieve and kept in the refrigerator, covered with a film in contact.

Before applying to the cake, the icing is heated to 44 degrees, interrupted again with a blender, filtered and used for its intended purpose. For example, it can make beautiful smudges on a black currant cake or cover the Black Forest mousse dessert with it.

Important point: for smudges, use chocolate with a percentage of cocoa from 70%. But to cover the cake, it is better to take a product in which no more than 55% cocoa.

Unusual black cake with gold

The combination of black and gold has become so popular recently that such unusual cakes often replace pastel-colored desserts even at weddings.

To add “gold” to your sweet masterpiece in black, you will have to spend a little time and money on buying a special dye in powder - golden kandurin.

Kandurins are applied to the cake and decor in two ways: dry and wet. In the first case, gold powder is spread over the surface to be painted with a dry synthetic brush. For the wet method, Kandurin is diluted with vodka in a ratio of 1:3, and then sprayed onto the surface to be painted.

Consider simple types of gold decor that are easy to repeat at home without special pastry equipment to make a cake in black and gold.

Golden crushed chocolate is very easy to make.

To prepare this decor you will only need:

• dark chocolate icing;
• parchment;
• golden kandurin;
• brush with artificial bristles.

How to do:

1. Crumple a sheet of baking paper into a ball, then smooth and spread the melted chocolate icing on top in a not too thick layer.
2. When the glaze has set, remove it from the parchment and break it into pieces of any size and shape.
3. Cover them with kandurin with a dry brush.

The bottom of the black cake can be decorated with a gold satin ribbon, but not a simple one, but an edible one.

It is prepared from:

• 20 g of gelatin;
• 40 ml of water;
• 20 g dark chocolate;
• 5 ml of glycerin;
• kandurin and starch.

Progress:

1. Soak the gelatin first in cold water, and after swelling, melt in the microwave or in a water bath. In the resulting hot mixture, stir the chocolate and glycerin.
2. Using a wide brush, apply the resulting mass to the surface of the silicone mat in a thin layer, and then place it in the refrigerator for 2-3 minutes.
3. Paint the seized “fabric” with kandurin in a dry way, carefully remove it from the rug. To prevent the back side from sticking, dust it with starch.

When all the decor elements are ready, you can start decorating. For example, insert a few pieces of crushed chocolate on top of the dessert, and tie the bottom with a golden edible ribbon.

Cooking from mastic

Let them say on all the pillars that cakes covered with mastic are the day before yesterday. This edible material is still relevant in baking design. In addition, a layer of colored mastic can always be carefully removed with a fork and not eaten to reduce the amount of dye that gets inside.

To make black mastic, you first need to prepare a chocolate-colored sugar mass, and then color it.

Proportions of ingredients:

• 200 g dark chocolate;
• 180 g of chewing marshmallow;
• 20 g butter;
• 45 ml of milk or cream;
• 15 ml of orange juice;
• 150 g of powdered sugar.

Cooking method:

1. Melt chocolate and marshmallows in a bowl over steam or microwave. Combine the resulting mass with butter, milk and juice.
2. After that, it remains only to mix the sweet powder into the liquid base, and the sugar mass is ready.

Chocolate mastic can be dyed black in two ways: using food coloring and activated charcoal.

• In the first case, a little blue dye is dripped onto a piece of chocolate mass and everything is thoroughly mixed.
• To color sugar paste with activated charcoal, its tablet must be crushed into dust, mixed with a small amount of honey to a paste, and then added, like food coloring.

The painted mastic should be allowed to lie down for a day under the film so that the dye has time to soak all the crystals of powdered sugar. After that, the mass can be used for decorating baking.

Black Unicorn Cake

Cakes in the style of "Unicorn" captivate with the simplicity of design and the unusual look achieved at the same time.

To decorate a black cake in the form of a unicorn, you will need:

• black mastic, skewers and gold kandurin for horns, ears and eyes;
• meringue or marshmallows for decoration of the mane.

Registration procedure:

1. Cover the assembled, leveled and settled cake with a finishing layer of black cream (chocolate velor or mastic).
2. For the horn, roll the mastic into a sausage, which is thicker on one side, but will gradually taper towards the other. Stick a wooden skewer into the foam and wrap the mastic sausage around it. Cover the formed horn with kandurin and let it dry.
3. For the ears, cut out four pieces of mastic according to the template. Color the smaller ones with gold kandurin and glue them in pairs with vodka on a wooden skewer. Let the ears dry. For the eyes, roll up a sausage from mastic and give them the shape of eyes and paint them with gold.
4. Attach a horn, ears and eyes to the prepared cake, then lay out a mane of meringue or marshmallows. The mane can also be dyed golden with kandurin or left white - it will also turn out beautifully.

As you can see from the above recipes, decorated using various techniques, a black cake is not always a bunch of dye. It is quite possible to get this color from natural products, and a dessert in this color will always look spectacular, attracting everyone's attention.
