It's summer time and it's season of lychees!
br /> I have been baking quite a few cakes (8 to be exact) in the past few weeks. I guess it's in popular demand due to the cheery looking layers of colour which kids love to. (like my son).
The cake is straightforward, same process as the any other sponge cake using my eggless vanilla Premix, just add different flavors. Flavouring-wise I went for lychee, as I making a lychee cake today. Actually I was a little unwilling to use lychee flavouring as it's an essence and not extract (essence is basically concocted using chemicals, whereas extract is pure). I also didn't know it until I was introduced to me.
For the frosting, I non dairy cream! Non Dairy cream frosting is extremely easy to make in any season, because in this hot summer it's really tricky to work with Buttercream or ganache.
If I use Buttercream or ganache I can imagine myself dying of panic attacks thinking that my cake is starting to melt the moment I take out of the fridge!
For the decoration, to echo the flavour of the cake, I used canned lychees, and to add some cherries and mint leaves.
And tadah! Proudly presenting my eggless Lychee Cake. Yes, I was certainly quite pleased with result.
