Recently, for two lovely little cakes, I had to make a delicious strawberry bavarois cake filling. I had some bavarois leftover from that. I also had a new silicone muffin mold lying in the cupboard for literally months. So, one and one is two! I had to make tasty little bavarois cakes from the leftovers. I did think they needed a nice base. Luckily, I always have a tin with delicious cookies. Maria biscuits are a perfect base for bavarois cakes. The cookies also fit exactly in the mold, so what more could you want?
I had seen bavarois come by often, but had made it myself only a few times, for these cake fillings even just once. But it’s really very easy and done in a flash. You just need a little patience while it sets. So don’t expect to have a ready-made little cake on the table in 10 minutes. If you fancy these little cakes, you need to start in good time.
Then I’ll dedicate a little bit to whipped cream, because I personally think this bavarois cake can’t do without whipped cream. Now, I’m crazy about whipped cream, I can eat it just like that. But only homemade whipped cream because that’s really the tastiest! But tell me yourself, look at that delicious swirl next to the little cake, you wouldn’t want to miss that, would you?
