Spider-Man Cake
Sponge cake for a cake
120 Flour
120 Sugar
4 Egg
1 Yeast
30 Butter
Hazelnut spread
Decor
250 White almond paste
Vanilla frosting
Dessert chocolate
1 Kinder chocolate egg
Directions
1
To prepare the sponge cake, beat the 4 egg yolks with the sugar in a double boiler for 5 minutes (it will double in volume). Off the heat, gradually add the sifted flour and baking powder. Add the melted butter and then the 4 whipped egg whites. Bake for 20 minutes at 180°C. Cut the cake in half and spread generously with spread.
2
The base of the Spiderman cake is made. Repeat step 1 to create the base of the second cake: the spider web.
3
For the Spiderman decoration: Set aside a bit of white marzipan for the eyes. Mix the rest with red food coloring. Roll out the red marzipan onto parchment paper (to ensure it releases easily). Cut the sponge cake into the shape of a face and completely cover the oval with a thin layer of red. Cut the eye shapes from the white marzipan and position them. Outline the eyes and imitate the spider web design on the face using strands of licorice (unroll the candies, then divide them in half to get the thinnest strands possible).
4
To finish For the decoration of the spider web: Cover the sponge cake with vanilla frosting. Melt the chocolate and pour it using a piping bag starting from the center to the outside in a spiral. With a toothpick, spread the warm chocolate between the circles to create the strands that converge at the center. Add the spider: the small chocolate egg will be the body and the candy will be the head, finishing with licorice or more chocolate.

We can also add white chocolate. Wonderful cakes for our little fans of Spider-Man. My suggestion: We can also replace the marzipan with melted white chocolate for the spider web cake. -

Are the quantities listed for 1 or 2 sponges? I am making 2 sponges and cutting them in half? Thank you for responding as I need to do it on Saturday for my little Paul who is already dreaming of it. -

Make it again and again! I made this cake last year for my son's 5th birthday, and he loved it! All the guests, even the adults, enjoyed it. So, this year I'm making the same base but with a pirate theme for a change. Thank you for this recipe! -

I spent 4 hours making it, but the result is amazing. My son's friends said Spiderman is dead, we have his head. My suggestion: For the sponge cake, I doubled the quantities (made the sponge cake twice) and used 3 times 250 grams of marzipan, 2 pink and one white. It takes a lot of patience. -

Response The quantities are for a sponge cake that will be used for the Spiderman cake. If you want to make the second cake in the shape of a spider web, you need to make the same sponge cake again.
