Cake "Tree"

Description

Once on the website 1000.menu, I found their "fur-Tree" and could not be collected to repeat the glory and then suddenly there was mold baking Christmas trees, which I got as a gift from my son. Now I just couldn't bake the kind of miracle made just in time for Christmas. Of course, the Cook has a similar recipe, but I hope that my work is the place to be here. So, let's start.

Ingredients

Butter

180 g
Sugar

150 g
Yolk egg

2 piece
Sour cream

100 g
The food dye

5 g
Flour

380 g
Leavening agent

3 g
White chocolate

100 g
Coconut shavings

180 g
Potato starch

1 tsp
Cream

100 ml
Powdered sugar

60 g

Cooking

With a mixer beat egg yolks, gradually adding sugar, until white. Then add sour cream and whisk for a while.

To the flour add baking soda and drinking lemon juice or baking powder are ready.

Part of the flour (3-4 table spoons), mix with softened butter. I whipped it with a mixer. Then add the yolk mixture and stir until smooth.

At this stage, it's time to add dye (if desired). Dye you can use pistachios, greens, candied pomelo or because of not having those ready to dye green. To do this, first dilute it in small amount of water and pour into the dough. As there we use, additionally, water consumption will increase a little flour.

Gradually pouring flour, knead a homogeneous dough and roll up it into a ball refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight, if you are planning to bake on the same day.

Take the dough out of the fridge, cut off a piece, mash it slightly and roll out into the reservoir under parchment paper with a thickness of about 7 mm. Then start cutting out Christmas trees, for this I used, kindly presented to me by the son of cookie cutters from Avon. Of course, not all of those are, so you can cut a stencil from paper or cardboard.

If you are interested, then you could use this pattern that I peeped the true author of the recipe Tatiana Kartasheva from the website foodclub, special thank you to her for the idea.

Our bake of the workpiece in a preheated oven to 200 °C, for about 10 minutes (cute, Cooks, adapt to your oven, I baked it 15 minutes). Warning! After baking, be sure to give the blanks as best you can to cool down and only then put them on another surface. I have my first blank I tried to withdraw earlier and paid for it with broken needles. The following is done as it should and it worked.

Let's prepare the filling: for this purpose, in a saucepan with a thick bottom pour the cream and add white chocolate. The chocolate I got was air, only 80 grams, and even hazelnut, but it's not terrible. Put the saucepan on the low heat and waiting for the melted chocolate. The same can be done in a water bath.

Coconut grind in a coffee grinder or blender, then add to it the powdered sugar and starch. Because of the chocolate I have is not enough, I thought that the filling is liquid, so the starch I put 1 tablespoon and messed it up. Then the obtained dry mixture into the chocolate-butter mass. Knead until smooth.

Slightly cooled stuffing cream distributed in all the blanks. Give a little to dry.

Proceed to the Assembly. For this, the very first the cookie monster, put on a plate or backer Board, slightly oiled with condensed milk (this is to ensure that the finished cake is not "ran"). Further the same principle, for each muffin drop condensed milk and put on top of a new one. Transfer the cakes gently on the spatula to avoid breakage. Thus collect the tree entirely, shifting the nines.

Now you can decorate the Christmas tree. I have used topping for cakes. You may decorate it on your own.

That's the Tree I got, plus two more babies.

And so our Tree looks in the cut. Delicate, moderately sweet and with coconut flavor turned out Herringbone.

Wish you all happy New year and merry Christmas! Help yourself! Bon Appétit!
