Christmas Layer Cake | Japanese Cooking Video Recipe

Red and green Christmas colors are pretty gorgeous ❤️💚



My daughter drew a rough sketch of the cake 🎄
I always recommend to do so, because it results way better in this way 😉

Christmas Layer Cake

15cm (6-inch) Cake:
I used 1 package of this Sponge Cake Mix to make 4 layers: 

To make 2 layers (1 color) of 15cm (6-inch) sponge cake, you mix the below ingredients with an electric mixer for 2 minutes. Then bake in the oven at 170C (338F) for about 15-20 minutes.
* 100g (1/2 bag) of cake mix
* 1.5 eggs
* 2 tsp. of milk + food coloring

Simply put the whipped cream between the layers. White cream let the colors stand out 🎄 Enjoy!!!

Koala's March Chocolate Candy House | Japanese Cooking Video Recipe

This homemade kit includes Koala's March and the best selling snacks from LOTTE: Toppo, CRUNKY Wafers, and Ghana milk chocolate. The kit is not necessary. Each snack is available at stores.



What other tools you need:
double boiler
hot water
spoon

cutting board
plate or a try

As seen in the instructions, there are two houses you can make, a big one or a small one, but there’s only enough candies in the kit to create one house. Be careful ;)

It also contains 3 different backgrounds for Christmas, Valentine's Day, and one you can use all year round. They are so cute!


Koala's March Chocolate Candy House

Aside from chocolate house you can also create a seesaw, a bench and a slide using leftover pieces, so don't eat them too soon!

Last but not least you can put Koala's March around the house and in the playground. You can spend even more time decorating the house! Be creative :)

This kit is sold offline at about 10 bucks in Japan. Bit expensive online.

 

What’s Koala’s March?

Koala's March is a bite-sized biscuit confectionary with a chocolate filling. One of 365 different lovely koala characters is printed on each biscuit :)

---------------------------------

Sweet Potato


Difficulty: Very Easy
Time: 45min
Number of servings: 18 (2-inch-long oval pieces)

Ingredients:
600g (1.3lb.) sweet potatoes
4 tbsp. granulated sugar
4 tbsp. heavy cream or milk
4 tbsp. butter
a few drops of vanilla extract
1 egg yolk for egg wash
toasted black sesame seeds

Directions:
1. Cut sweet potatoes into small chunks and soak in water to remove starch and prevent discoloration.
2. Cook in boiling water for 15 minutes until soft.
3. Drain and mash with a fork in the pot. You can strain to purée if you have time.
4. Add butter, sugar, heavy cream (or milk is ok), and vanilla extract, then mix well. If you think the mixture is too soft, you can heat it to dry out a little bit.
5. Use plastic wrap to form it into 2-inch-long oval shapes.
6. Mix 1 egg yolk and 1/2 tbsp. of water. Brush the top of the sweet potato with the egg wash. Sprinkle with toasted black sesame seeds.
7. Bake in the oven at 200C(390F) for 10 minutes or toaster oven for about 5 minutes until browned and shiny on top.
