Cooking

Vegan soufflé, this cake is done on the basis of aquababy - broth of chickpeas. Chickpeas rinse and leave in water overnight, cook. Left over after cooking the chickpea liquid just to boil if necessary - the decoction should be concentrated, rather dense (in the photo you can see that in my aquatube a kind of floating substance of my concentrated decoction for several days was waiting in the fridge; in this form aquatube in the future, and churned). The broth can be fresh or nickelcadmium, warm or cold doesn't matter. The main thing is to mix it in a bowl without the rest of the fat. Need 170 gr. aquababy.

Prepare the cake base. In fact - vegan cake. Alternately, mix all the ingredients. Put in a preheated 180 gr. the oven for 30 minutes. If acceptable for you, it is possible to replace the water in the whey/yogurt. If you use dairy products, of course, vinegar is no longer needed. To extinguish or not to extinguish soda with vinegar is a different story. I'm sticking with "not quenching".

You can stop at this stage, having a wonderful chocolate cupcakes. Bake in the form with removable edges, then we can use this feature.

For soufflé, you must soak agar-agar in water (or juice). Always leave at night, but if you have no time, enough 20 minutes. I have freshly squeezed orange juice.

Aquatab beat with a mixer at high speed for 3-5 minutes until a thick foam. [The same is true for meringues and marshmallows without eggs - search on the website immediately gives 5 options of similar recipes; if you have not previously worked with aquababy, I suggest also to get acquainted with the options and marshmallow meringue on top of it. A frequent question is whether in the end somehow felt nut - taste/smell - no, never] In the photo - akwaaba after 5 minutes of whipping.

Just aquatab need to beat 20 minutes, with approximately the 15th minute, gradually add 125 g sugar. In the photo - akwaaba after 10 minutes of whipping.

You also need to prepare syrup. It can be prepared either after beating aquababy or in parallel with it (but not before, because the finished syrup should immediately enter into whipped aquatube). I syrup was prepared simultaneously with the whipping aquababy, therefore, further description on this basis.

Whisking 3-5 minutes aquatube, continuing to whisk, start to prepare the syrup: in water with agar-agar, add 150 g of sugar. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring frequently.

After 5 minutes of boiling syrup to add portions to aquababe whipped 125 g of sugar, still whisking. Through the next 5 minutes to turn off the stove, add the syrup and lemon juice, stir and without stopping whisking, quickly but smoothly pour a trickle the hot syrup in aquatab.

In the photo - akwaaba before adding the syrup.

Do not scrape syrup leftover from the walls of the pan, because, perhaps, he had already turned to jelly, and marshmallows and jelly is not what we need. Whisk at this stage is not necessary - only mix. Agar-agar starts to harden quickly, so immediately place the fondant on the cake. Smooth the surface (peaks or write if you wish).

After 5 minutes, when the surface of the clutch, you can decorate the cake, for example, melted chocolate, chocolate icing or chocolate chips. Of course, there are other decorating options, including the remains of the syrup on the sides of the pan.

In a few hours you can already get the cake from the refrigerator and remove the side – lean, the cake "bird's milk" is ready.

This is my previous experience. The syrup was prepared in the water, not juice. Oh, by the way, the juice in these proportions the taste is not really influenced (though felt). To Express the effect you need to increase the amount of juice and the agar-agar. But my goal was not to make orange dessert, and to bring down the smell of agar-agar. It's strange, do Arag-agar is used in desserts, as a gelling component with a neutral taste/smell, but to me what is wrong agar-agar comes from, apparently... last time I made one dessert, so he got all soufflé - it's the layer was thicker. Although I'm more of a 50/50 option liked.

Bon appetite and good day!
