Cake Tank made of mastic

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   In a bowl, grind the softened butter with sugar. Mix milk with cocoa powder in a separate container, beat in chicken eggs. Mix everything, pour it into the oil mixture. Add flour and baking powder. Be sure to sift the flour to saturate it with oxygen, then the baking will turn out lush and airy. Knead a thin, homogeneous dough. Pour the dough into a heat-resistant mold with a diameter of 23 cm. Bake in a preheated 190 degree oven for about 50 minutes.

2. Step 2:

   

   Remove the finished biscuit from the oven, cool, leave for at least 6 hours. Then cut the cake lengthwise into 3 cakes. Trim the sidewalls. Make a tower and elevation out of the sidewalls.

3. Step 3:

   

   Prepare the cream. In a container, beat the soft butter with a mixer. Add condensed milk in parts, without stopping whipping. The cream should be lush and airy.

4. Step 4:

   

   Spread the cream on the cakes, fold them in the right order. Cover the whole structure with oil cream. Put it in the refrigerator for less than 1 hour.

6. Step 5:

   

   To make a camouflage "grid", paint the mastic with gel food dyes. To do this, the mastic must be divided into 6 parts and painted 2 parts in a shade of green, 2 brown and one each in black and dark gray. Sprinkle the work surface with powdered sugar, roll out a green cake (3-4 mm thick), put small pieces of other colors on top and roll out again.

7. Step 6:

   

   Cover the tank with a layer of mastic. Smooth and smooth well. Having leveled the top and moving to the sides, do not return to smoothing the top again, as the mastic will stretch. Trim the excess.

8. Step 7:

   

   Use black mastic to make track belts, guns and wheels. The gun should be mounted on a wooden skewer. You can also add a few small details and scraps of mastic to complete the picture.
