Cooking

A small Preface. The cake was planned as a combination of layers of a sponge cake layer "of Marshmallow on the standard" orange meringue cake and orange cream and, of course, jewelry. But the changes are not my fault, guilty as foods, which, unfortunately, is not visible to the eye. First prepare the meringue. Immediately warn that the form I took a small diameter 22cm, from this calculation and consumption of products. Take 3 eggs and separate the whites from the yolks.

Cover the yolks and set aside. They'll come in handy for puffs. Puffs: custard (my) and the dough is flaky unleavened (purchase). It's simple: boil the cream, wrap in dough, slice the puffs, bake in the oven. (The idea of miss "Puff "Maria").

Prepare the stencil for the meringue, this describes a circle on the parchment.

First, beat the whites into foam, then a little trickle, pour 70g of sugar. Whisk until stiff peaks. Gently beat in 1 tbsp of potato starch.

Spread the beaten egg whites in a pastry bag and spread on the drawn circle, the top is leveled.

Put in oven at a temperature of 100-120 degrees for 2 hours. I have a gas stove, I put 1, I do not know how much it degrees, but the meringue was prepared according to the rules, ie. stood for 5 hours!

Prepare the sponge cake. Take 2 eggs and separate the whites from the yolks.

Proteins, beat in tight foam with 1 tbsp of powdered sugar.

The egg yolks in a separate bowl whisk white with 50g of sugar.

Gently mix whites with yolks.

Top sift flour mixed with 1 tbsp cocoa.

Vystelim the bottom of the parchment.

Spread the dough and flatten the top.

Bake at 180 degrees until cooked (10-15 minutes). I always check by pressing on the biscuit - if it recovers quickly after pressing with a finger, then sponge is ready!

Cooking chocolate impregnation. 4 tbsp condensed milk mix with 1 tbsp cocoa and 30g of butter. Warmed in a water bath, but do not boil.

Hot pour prepared biscuit. Allow to soak at room temperature while preparing the orange filling.

Prepare the orange filling. At first I planned to make the layer "Zephyr in accordance with GOST" (the Coil), but I got the wrong orange, and my new blender does not want to grind everything into a puree. Hence, another variant of the filling. For starters, my orange and cook it after boiling water for 10 minutes.

Hot grind with a blender into a puree with 70g of sugar. Mass, preferably still warm, lay out, because she quickly gelled.

But I this did not happen and I secured the result with gelatin. Gelatin soaked in water to swell, bred in a water bath and mix with orange.

Spread on cake

align.

Flatten the cake with the meringue.

Spread on the cake. Lightly pressed. Put them in the cold for 1 hour.

Karamelizuem orange. This time the orange was juicy and with thin skin. I cooked it in the syrup remaining from the previous prescription. Boiled 1 hour.

Spread on parchment and dry. I was cleaning in the cold for 1 hour.

Prepare orange cream (katico "cottage Cheese casserole with pumpkin and orange cream"). Wash and dry 2 oranges, remove the zest from one and make the chip peel from the other (for decoration). Squeeze out the juice.
