Cooking

step-0
For the dough: beat with a mixer softened butter, icing sugar, egg (room temperature) and baking powder. Add the flour and knead the dough.
step-1
Next, I divided the dough into 2 equal parts. One to put it in the freezer for another baking of the second part, I make cakes. Roll out dough to a thickness of about 4 mm. cake cut out circles with a diameter of 5 cm. to Lay out circles on the parchment and put into the freezer at least 15 minutes.
step-2
At this time, make the cream. Mix in a saucepan the milk, sugar and yolk. Put on the stove on medium heat, bring to a boil and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
step-3
Beat softened butter until fluffy. Gradually add the butter to the cooled yolk mixture, continuing to whisk.
step-4
Ready cream put into the refrigerator.
step-5
Cakes for cakes to bake in a preheated 180C oven for 10 minutes. The finished cakes to cool on parchment.
step-6
Cream be divided into 2 parts. In one, add 1 tsp cocoa. Start assembling cakes. The first cake spread with light cream and put it on the second cake, spread with blackcurrant jam, put it on a third cake layer, spread with cream with cocoa, cover with fourth cake layer. Coat the cakes with cream and sprinkle with finely ground almonds. Put in refrigerator for 15 minutes so that the cream is slightly frozen.
step-7
Top cake I suggest zagazirovanie. The glaze I was prepared as follows: mix 2 tbsp jam "black currant" with 2 tablespoons of water. A bit warm in the microwave so the jams became more liquid. RUB the mixture through a sieve. Add 5 tsp with the top of the icing sugar and heat in microwave oven to boiling. Spread the resulting glaze the top of the cakes. Again heat the mixture and cover with the second layer. To give glaze to harden a bit (I put it in the fridge for 5 minutes).
step-8
Then decorate the cakes with the remaining cream. To put the brownies overnight in the fridge. (I want to note that the above proportions have been given by the author of the recipe for the cake size 18x18, see I used half of the dough, but the cream for the cake I used a whole without the rest. This should be considered when preparing a great cake).
