Cooking
Out of this number of ingredients it turns out a small cake, its just enough for one family drinking tea. For prigovleniya meringue cakes carefully separate the whites from the yolks so that not a single drop of yolk was not included in proteins, and well-whipped meringue. Regular sugar immediately combine with 1/3 tsp of vanilla sugar. Before whisking the whites can add a pinch of salt or a drop of lemon juice in order to better eggs. I did not add it. Start whipping with a mixer on minimum speed, gradually increasing it, to achieve a stable foam. Then small portions enter the sugar, before adding a new one, look to the previous portion has completely dissolved. Thus, beat until stiff peaks should be tight shiny foam.
This cake can be three or two layers. In order for the cakes turned out flat, one by one, from planned in pencil on the baking paper circles, using the right size plate. If the Mat is silicone, like me, you can mark the outline with icing sugar.
Dough within the planned community. It is possible to transplant a few small bezelek for decoration, but this is optional. Put the meringue in to bake in a preheated 100*C oven 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes, depending on oven, until tender. Remove cakes from oven and let cool to room temperature.
Begin to prepare oil-based cream syrup. To do this, pour into a saucepan sugar and water, put on fire, stirring occasionally, bring to dissolve the sugar and boil. Proverjaem it another minute or two on very low heat and set to cool.
Mix cooled to room temperature, the syrup with condensed milk.
Butter room temperature, whisk in the lush foam. Not stopping whipping, a thin stream pour the cooled syrup.
Add to the cream 1/3 tsp vanilla sugar and brandy, if making a cake is not for children, beat.
A large part of the cream, about 60 g, combine with strawberry jam. The remaining white cream to use later for decoration.
Coat completely cooled cakes folded one upon the other, connecting them with strawberry cream.
The top of the cake and the sides were coated delayed white cream.
Cake decorating grind in a large crumb fried walnuts.
Sprinkle with walnut crumbs sides of cake. Instead of nuts can decorate the cake crushed meringues or both together.
To make the chocolate cobweb, melt water bath a dark chocolate, put it in a pastry syringe and plot not only the surface of the cake in the shape of a spiral starting from the center. Then the knife will hold stripes across the picture, from the center to the edge. The top of the cake, you can decorate with whole or sliced strawberries and halves of walnuts.
