Aunt Hjalma's Blotkake birthday cake recipe. Ingredients: Preparation: Transfer into spring form coated with Crisco or oil (use paper towel to distribute). Dust pan with flour - shake off excess. Place in cold oven. Bake at 350° F. (180° C) 35 minutes or until done. Let the cake rest for 10 - 15 minutes - cut around edges - take out of spring form. Place on cooling rack. It must be completely cold before applying whip cream filling and topping. Filling: Whip cream and sugar until peaks form. If you whip cream too much you will end up with butter. Reserve cream for decorating top and sides. Place into fridge while preparing filling. Also, reserve whipped cream to fill pastry-decorating bag to make pretty designs on cake. Fold preserves and whip cream together to place between layers. Cut 4 pieces of wax paper about 4" each and put on edges around a glass cake plate. Place cake on plate. Remove wax paper when the cake is fully decorated. Edges of plate will stay clean and cake will look more appetizing when you serve it. Slice the birthday cake into 3 layers. Place 1st layer on plate and spread whipped cream and strawberry filling on top using a cake-decorating knife. It is wide and has a round tip instead of a point and is great for decorating. Place 2nd layer on top. Continue same process until you have all three layers done. Do not put berry filling on top layer unless you want a pink cake. Cover each layer with berries to make an extra fresh berry flavor. Also, be very generous with filling between layers. Sometimes I apply jam directly on each layer before spreading on whip cream/berry filling. Here is a trick to make an extra moist blotkake birthday cake recipe. Pour 7-UP or a citrus soda in a spray bottle. Spritz a little pop on each layer before spreading filling. Topping: Fill pastry decorating bag whip cream to make pretty designs on cake.
