If you are looking for a spectacular cake for a children's birthday, this Spider-Man cake is the perfect choice. It is a fluffy vanilla sponge cake, filled with manjar (dulce de leche), chantilly cream, and canned peaches, and decorated with the superhero's iconic colors. This recipe is ideal for beginners, as the sponge is made with egg whites beaten to stiff peaks and a syrup, ensuring a light and moist texture.
The combination of flavors is a hit with kids: the sweetness of the manjar contrasts with the acidity of the peaches and the smoothness of the cream. Plus, decorating with food coloring makes it easy and fun to recreate Spider-Man's mask.
This cake is perfect for themed parties and is sure to impress all the guests. Go ahead and make it!

Whisk the egg whites until stiff. While preparing a hair syrup with sugar moistened with a little water. When the syrup is ready, add to the egg whites that continue to beat until it cools.
Add the yolks one by one and the vanilla essence. Keep beating.
Add the pre-sifted flour and cornstarch with wrapping movements. Mix until you see a smooth shake.
Pour into a pre-oiled 24 cm mold with baking paper on the bottom.
Bake at 180°C for 20 to 30 minutes. Allow to cool and unmold.
When it's cold, cut into three discs and fill with whatever you want. In my case, Benji ordered it with delicacy and Chantilly cream with canned peaches.
I also soak the discs with a mixture of preserve syrup and rum essence.
Then I refrigerate, preferably from one day to the next before decorating.
To decorate, I covered it with white whipped cream on top and put the sugar sheet with the image of Spiderman. I covered the sides with red and blue chantilly.
