Cooking

step-0
Cake Pain de Genes. To prepare in advance and weigh all the ingredients. To prepare the marzipan - almond flour (ground almonds), icing sugar, and protein (20 g) and mix well.
step-1
This kind of mixture should get.
step-2
Add the eggs. Only took me 4 whole eggs a category "O" ( = 20 g of protein and 210 grams of eggs). Stir well with a whisk.
step-3
Put in a water bath and heated to 50 C with constant stirring.
step-4
Remove the mixture from the heat, beat with a mixer to a density - i.e., in runoff the mixture should leave a light trail, which disappears immediately. Beat long enough - 15-20 minutes (depends on the power of mixer).
step-5
Add red dye, mix well. The dye is poured to your taste. I try for family use not a lot of use. Keep in mind that cocoa and its shade will. A classic recipe of Red Velvet cake, that was served in the early 20th century in the famous hotel new York Waldorf-Astoria dye has not been used - red colour to the sponge cake gave a chemical reaction between the buttermilk and anthocyanins in cocoa. Now the cocoa powder is exposed to Dutch processing, and it neutralizes the anthocyanins.
step-6
Flour mixed with cocoa and baking powder, sift. Melt butter and allow to cool to 70 degrees.
step-7
The dry ingredients pour the egg-almond mixture, gently, but at the same time, quickly and intensively to mix. Pour part of the butter, mix; pour in remaining oil. Stir to avoid oil stains.
step-8
I don't have 2 rings of 18 cm in diameter, so I baked in the rings 18 and 20 cm at the same time. Temperature is 180 degrees (oven preheated) for 20-25 minutes. The finished cake by pressing lightly springy and returns to shape. Ready biscuit cool on a wire rack, then cut into 4 Korzh (the one I have was 20 cm I cut to 18). The cake turns out delicious, quite dense and moist. The only deviation from this pain de Genes - I don't add spices and liqueur, they are just not needed in this cake. If you are preparing the cake in advance, cooled you can wrap in plastic wrap.
step-9
Strawberry jelly. Pre-prepare (soak) gelatin. Strawberries to blend. I unfrozen, Porirua along with some water.
step-10
Puree, mix with sugar, bring to a boil. Add soaked gelatin, mix well. Allow to cool to 40 degrees.
step-11
Take a little (2-3 tbsp) of the future jelly, strain through a sieve, place in a pastry bag. A diameter of 20 cm (which will collect the cake), tighten with cling film, put on a flat Board that will fit in the freezer. Cut off the tip of the bag to put on film any pattern - I hearts. To put it in the freezer along with the Board.
step-12
The remaining jelly to pour into any shape, from which it will be easy to get. I have laced the food film frame 15*15 cm Thickness of layer 1 cm away in a freezer.
step-13
Butter cream. Soak gelatin. A mixer to mix to a density of cream cheese (as an alternative to ricotta or thawed weighed 20% cream) and sugar. In the same classic recipe of the cake was butter cream, but it is gradually "crowded out" less labour intensive cream cheese.
step-14
Set aside in a bowl a small amount of cream. Add the gelatin and melt in the microwave. Merge with the main mass of the cream.
step-15
Strawberry jelly to get it out of the freezer, cut out the shape. Cut into cubes 1*1 see
step-16
The form in diameter 18 cm, cover with cling film, sides pave glace ribbon.
step-17
Next, collect as: crust - 1/3 of cream 1/3 of the jelly cubes, etc. to Finish the cake. Cover with cling film and put into the freezer.
step-18
Mousse. Gelatin pre-soak. Mix the sugar, starch and egg yolks. Milk heat and gradually introduced into the egg yolks. Next, put on fire and stirring constantly, cook until thick.
step-19
As soon as the first "bulk" remove from heat, cool to 80 degrees, add the gelatin. Tighten the "in contact" with cling film. Allow to cool to room temperature.
step-20
Chilled cream until soft splendor. In several stages, gently mix with the cooled custard.
step-21
To assemble the cake. To get from the freezer form with a picture. Boca pave glace ribbon. On the bottom of the form (right on the picture) pour a layer of mousse with thickness of 1,5 - 2 cm to put it in the freezer for 5-7 minutes to allow the layer to harden. To get the insert (the cake), release from ring and from the film. Lay on a layer of mousse. The remaining mousse to shift into a pastry bag, from which to fill all voids between the insert and the sides of the form. Clean the freezer/refrigerator until fully cured.
step-22
Decoration. The cake can be decorated according to your wishes to cover the mirror glaze or chocolate suede. I wanted to like this. The top of the cake I covered neutral with a confectionery gel. And for drawing on the sides of the cooked cream "Wet kiss" for this recipe http://www.povarenok .ru/recipes/show/893 13/. The number of ingredients reduced 4 times. The cream was divided into 5 parts, painted them in bright colors and have labels. Labels were applied to frozen cake, I wanted to paint a little moisture was leaking and created a colorful background on the cake. If stains do not want, then to write with melted chocolate.
