Cooking
In advance, prepare the cream. Better at night. Chocolate break into pieces. Cream to put on the heat and bring almost to a boil (remove from heat when the edges run up the little bubbles). Pour the chocolate cream and put into the fridge overnight.
By the way, about cream. The original recipe listed cream with a fat content of 33-35%. In our city such to find, but not when you need desperately!! In total I took 20%.
The next day, bake cakes. Proteins whisk with 1/3 Cup. sugar, as the saying goes "to peaks".
Whisk the egg yolks with the remaining sugar until siiiiing lighten the mass. Almost to white. Not stopping to whisk, add the dissolved cocoa. Sift then flour, starch, citric acid and baking powder. Mix gently.
The beaten egg whites in three steps gently stir in the dough.
On an oiled paper to draw the desired shape – circle, square, etc. will Need 7-8 leaves. Put the dough within the border of the picture. Flatten. Bake each cake 8-10 min. Cool and remove paper.
Cream out of the fridge and whip. As the cream had not sufficiently fat, the cream turned to liquid. So I didn't soak the cakes. And when assembling the cake I was proslavila cakes with cream and generously sprinkled with grated chocolate. Leave cake to soak.
Then decorate. For example flowers of mastic. This time I got it came out great. So tell her not to make marshmallow-marshmallow, and marshmallow is simple. This here.
In General, marshmallows, my under running water – wash off layer of powdered sugar (not that it will not dissolve and the paste will be grainy). Break marshmallow into pieces and put in a water bath. When he softened, stirring occasionally roll in powdered sugar. The exact amount of powder I can not say – showered eye, gradually. When the mixture becomes thick, continue to knead on the table, adding the powder. Can be stored in the refrigerator, wrapped in cellophane.
You can still decorate with flowers of a protein-custard, chocolate figurines and other things.
The cake turns out very well, chocolate!
A pleasant tea to you!
