About this recipe

The Benjamin-Blümchen cake is a classic in our family, which is always a welcome addition to the table, especially for children's birthdays. I still remember how my grandma baked it for me when I was little - of course with lots of love and even more colorful sprinkles! The name comes, of course, from the popular talking elephant, and the cake is intended to spread good cheer with its cheerful look and light taste. The base of this cake is a light sponge cake. The eggs provide the necessary binding and lightness, while the sugar contributes sweetness and a fine caramel note. The flour gives the whole thing structure, and the baking powder helps the dough to rise nicely. For the filling we use curd cheese, which provides a pleasant acidity and creaminess. The cream makes the filling particularly light and airy, and cream stiffener ensures that everything retains its shape. The hazelnut brittle brings a crunchy contrast to the soft filling and a nutty taste, while the chocolate sprinkles and confetti sprinkles provide the colorful look and the additional sweet kick. When preparing in the Thermomix®, it is important to beat the eggs and sugar long enough so that the sponge cake becomes nice and airy. Make sure that the cream is not beaten for too long, otherwise it will become buttery. It is better to stop a little earlier and keep an eye on the consistency. When folding in the flour and cream, you need a delicate touch - here the spatula is your best friend to preserve the lightness. If you like it a little fruitier, you can add fresh berries such as strawberries or raspberries to the filling. For a vegan version, eggs can be replaced with applesauce or bananas and vegetable cream and curd cheese can be used. Instead of hazelnut brittle, you can also use chopped almonds or other nuts. The Benjamin-Blümchen cake tastes best well chilled. A glass of milk or a refreshing juice goes well with it. It is the star at every children's birthday party, but adults also enjoy a piece of this delicious cake. The cake can be kept in the refrigerator, well covered, for about 2-3 days. The sponge cake base can also be baked the day before to make preparation easier on the birthday itself. However, the filling should be freshly prepared to ensure the best consistency.
