Pastellblauer Frühlingskuchen

The two layers of sponge hold together perfectly when you cut it, and the pastel blue frosting makes it look like a little piece of spring on the plate. It’s a simple, pretty cake that tastes exactly as light and sweet as you’d hope for a 3.5-inch treat.

The pastel blue color is even prettier in person, and the two layers of sponge stayed perfectly moist for the three days we took to finish it. It's light but substantial enough to feel like a real cake, not just a snack.

The 3.5-inch height really gives it presence on the plate, and the two-layer sponge stayed moist right up to the last slice. We cut into it for an afternoon tea and the pastel blue frosting made the whole table feel brighter.
