Use a spatula to mix evenly, then put the cake batter into a piping bag, with an opening of about 1cm

Squeeze out strips of cake batter about 7~8cm long on the baking sheet in sequence

Sift a layer of powdered sugar on the surface and place it in the middle of the preheated oven at 190 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes

Take another baking pan and pipe out two round cake batters in a spiral manner
-
Sift a layer of powdered sugar on the surface and place it in the middle of the preheated oven at 190 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes
-
After taking it out of the oven, cut one side of the strip cake flat
-
Place the edge code into a 6-inch cake mold, and use another strip of cake to make up for the short length. Be careful not to leave any gaps at the joints; then cut the round cake pieces to the appropriate size and place them at the bottom of the mold, and set aside

Now start making the Bavarian whipped cream: Soak the gelatine slices in cold water and set aside

Take 4 egg yolks and add vanilla sugar

Whisk until the egg custard is pale in color, set aside

After mixing, turn on low heat and continue heating until the temperature of the egg liquid reaches 80~90 degrees, turn off the heat, and let cool for later use

Use an electric mixer to beat at low speed until about 7 eggs

Pour Bavarian whipped cream into the prepared cake rim until it reaches about half the height of the cake rim

Take out the cake, decorate it with appropriate amount of strawberries and blueberries, and brush a thin layer of transparent mirror pectin on the surface
