This pound cake has a bright read santa hat inside it no matter how many times you cut it! It’s endless fun…well, until you finish the cake.
The white fluffy cotton part of the hat is made with whipped cream. This makes for a great activity at Christmas parties as your guests and family can all make their own Santa hat.
It also makes a great present if you put it in a clear back and decorate it with a white marker.
This is the 5th and final recipe from our recipe book, which is out now in bookstores in Japan as well as Amazon.jp!
*Recipe*（Makes one 7✕15✕6.5cm pound cake）
１．Make the shape of the santa hat using two small milk cartons. Cover completely with parchment paper. (Refer to the illustration in our book on how to make this)
Pound Cake
First we will sift together two kinds of glour
２．Sift together 95g weak flour and 5g of baking powder (about 1 1/4 tsp) and set aside
３．Next sift and combine 22g of weak flour (2 2/3 tbsp), 1g of baking powder (1/4 tsp), 2g cocoa powder (1tsp), 1g of red food coloring (a little under 1/2 tsp)
４．Froth 100g of unsalted butter at room temperature
５．Mix in 80g of sugar gradually in 2-3 batches
６．Stir 2 eggs and mix in to the batter gradually across about 5 batches
７．Mix in vanilla oil and a tbsp of rum across two batches
Next we’ll make the santa hat
８．Separate about 20% of #7 (53g)
９．Combine with the mixture from #3 and mix lightly
１０．Add in the mixture from #1。
１１．Bake in an oven at 180℃ for 15 minutes
１２．Let cool and cut off the lower part of the hat
１３．Adjust to the length of your pound cake by cutting off the ends
Finally create the plain batter and finish
１４．Add mixture #2 into #8 and mix lightly
１５．Oil your pound cake tray and either powder with flour or cover with parchment paper
１６．Add #14 to the bottom (about 7ml) and then add #13 to that. Finally, top off by pouring on #14.
１７．Bake in over at 180℃ for 25 minutes
１８．Set to cool and remove from pan; wrap tightly with plastic wrap and let sit overnight. The bread should be nice and moist.
１９．Cut and serve. Use whipped cream to finish decorating the hat.
Using a piping bag makes it easier to put the dough in the bag.
The santa hat looks cute if it’s a little misshapen, so don’t worry too much about making it perfect!
