Cooking

First you need to bake two biscuit. I did it in advance, the day before assembling the cake. Biscuit do by splitting eggs. Why, I will explain later. So, the proteins separate from the yolks. One cake needs 4 eggs.

Proteins vzbit in a solid foam.

Then add gradually 1 Cup of sugar and beat until stiff meringue.

One by one add the yolks, continuing to whisk.

Whisk until it bubbles.

Gradually introduce the sifted flour ( 1 Cup) and cinnamon, mixing thoroughly.

Get that kind of dough.

In the bowl of multivarka I put a circle of parchment cut along the bottom of the bowl.\ Grease with butter the bottom and sides of the bowl, sprinkle with semolina and pour the batter. Bake in the mode Pastries 50 minutes.

I baked two sponge cake. The taller - a method for the separation of proteins from yolks. That below - normal way: simply blend the eggs with the sugar and added the flour. The result is seen. And airiness differ, and height. Biscuits need to give completely to stand a minimum of 12 hours. Each cake I cut at the same height cakes. The cake will need only 4 layers.

Then I made this template. The diameter of my Cup, and therefore the biscuit - 19 see Why circles would be of such a diameter: 1 - 3.8 cm; 2 - 7.6 cm; 3 - 11.4 cm; 4 - 15.2 cm; 5 - 19 see

2 Korzh it is necessary to leave intact, and of two cut out rings.

So should get.

The whole cake put in order ring.

Then it was already evening and dark photo... Cream chocolate custard I made this: 3 egg yolks vzbit with 1 glass of sugar, add 150 ml of milk, then sift 4 tablespoons cocoa and 8 tablespoons flour. Stir to avoid lumps. Pour 750 ml hot milk, stir and cook until thick on a slow fire. 100 ml of milk to dissolve 25 g of instant gelatin, heat until dissolved ( but do not boil!). Pour in the cream, stir and allow to cool to lukewarm. Thus, alternating circles and cream, collected a checkerboard pattern. Top closed the whole cake.

Cook pumpkin cream. I already have the recipe for this cream: http://www.povarenok .ru/recipes/show/96 489/ But I'll tell you here. 350 g of purified pumpkin cut into cubes, pour 0.5 liters of milk and to cook to readiness of a pumpkin, somewhere about 20 minutes. Then beat with a blender into a homogeneous mass, add 5 tablespoons sugar and vanilla sugar. Beat and let cool to lukewarm. Add one 2 the eggs, whisking each time. Add the sifted flour ( 5 tablespoons) and cinnamon. Mix well. Boil on a slow fire until thick, stirring constantly. The cream will zapujcit ( uttering the sound Puff).. Now add 25 g of gelatin, previously dissolved in 100 ml of milk. The top and sides of cake covered with a layer of pumpkin cream and allow to harden. I have the cake rested overnight. The rest of the cream was waiting for my hour in the cold.

Prepare the caramel. 1 Cup nuts fry on a dry pan, add 1 Cup of sugar and stir, bring to dissolve the sugar and caramel color. Pour onto a parchment greased with vegetable oil, to cool. Further, the brittle may break and eat so... But we chop in a blender to a state of crumbs.

Make chocolate leaves. To do this, Lisa and I gathered textured leaves. We didn't pick them up from the ground and plucked directly from the trees. Chose only those with clearly visible lines. Then I wiped with a damp sponge, wiped dry with a paper towel. The chocolate melted in the microwave on the Defrost mode. With a brush grease the leaves with the chocolate in two layers, each layer must be frozen.

Then the leaves gently to remove. Butterflies and other drawings I drew on the pattern with chocolate and I've found. Butterflies I painted with chocolate, then shifted to open the book, put the book with the butterflies in the refrigerator. The book was slightly raised so that the wings of butterflies was up.

Now finish the cake. Lubricates thicker once the top and sides of cake with a pumpkin cream, sprinkle with almonds and decorate with the chocolate decorations.
