Step cooking
Cooking Biscuit
- We need 150 ml of hot boiled water, so the first thing we boil it. Pour 40 g of cocoa into a plate, pour 150 ml of hot water, mix so that the cocoa is completely dissolved and there are no lumps.
- Sift 180 g of flour into a deep bowl, add ¼ tsp. soda, 1 tsp. baking powder, 120 g of sugar, mix everything.
- Now take 4 chicken eggs, separate the yolks from the proteins. Add a pinch of salt to the proteins and beat until stable peaks.
- Add 70 ml of vegetable oil to the yolks and beat until the mixture brightens. Add the cocoa with water to the yolks, mix and send into the flour. Knead the dough first with a spatula, and then with a mixer. We need the mass to be homogeneous without lumps.
- Add whipped proteins, mix with a spatula, knead a homogeneous dough. When adding proteins, the mixer does not need to be used so that the proteins do not sit down.
- We will bake in a mold with a diameter of 18 cm. Cover it with parchment paper, pour out the dough and put it in the oven. Bake at a temperature of 170 degrees until a crust appears (about 40 minutes). Baking time depends on the oven of each hostess. For readiness, check the biscuit with a skewer. Pierce the cake with it. If it remained dry, then it is baked. We take out the biscuit, leave it to cool in shape, then shift it on the grill upside down and leave it to cool completely.
Cooking cream
- Pour 7 g of gelatin with 40 ml of cold water, mix, leave to swell. Now we get 150 g of mascarpone cheese from the refrigerator, 20 ml of cream with a fat content of 33%. In a deep bowl we send cheese, add cream and 80 g of sugar, beat with a mixer until soft peaks.
- Pour the swollen gelatin and mix until smooth. We cover the finished cream with cling film and put it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
We make a cake
- At the finished biscuit, cut off the hat and cut it into two cakes. To make the cakes smooth, it is convenient to cut them with a thread. To do this, we draw a notch contour with a knife, insert the thread and cross its ends.
- We will form a cake using a cooking ring. We put a ring on a flat serving dish, inside we put the first cake of the biscuit and put half of the curd cream on it. Level it with a uniform layer.
- Spread the second cake on top, squeeze it a little. Put the remaining cream on the biscuit, level it. We break the cut off top of the biscuit into small pieces, send it to the blender bowl and grind it into crumbs.
- Sprinkle the surface of the cake with this crumb. The cake, together with the form, is sent to the refrigerator for 2-3 hours. After this time, remove the cooking ring, align the edges and can serve.
