Cake construction

How We Balance Sponge, Cream and D24

The goal is not the maximum amount of every component. The goal is a slice that holds together and keeps the D24 clear.

Pandan gula melaka durian cake by Amour Desserts

From Amour Desserts · Baking in Melbourne since 2015

Sponge carries the cake

The sponge must support the filling and decoration without becoming dry or too heavy.

Cream connects the layers

Cream affects moisture, mouthfeel and stability. It should support the filling rather than mask it.

D24 defines the flavour

The filling needs enough presence to be recognisable across the slice. Supporting flavours are used only in products designed around them.

  • Structure from sponge.
  • Connection from cream.
  • Identity from D24.
