Sprinkle Purple Cake



I am absolutely in love with the effect of the shading, and surprised that i found thats cake. seriously its so cute and amazing cake. but its to hard you make by yourself. its need patient for make thats cake. but i share this recipe for you, and i hope you can.

For the cake:
355g plain flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
225ml milk
2 tsp vanilla extract (I used 1 tsp extract and 1 tsp vanilla bean paste)
400g caster sugar
225g unsalted butter, softened
4 medium eggs
Purple food colour (I used Wilton violet gel colouring)
Jam to spread between layers, I used blackcurrant jam but you could use grape or strawberry, or double the amount of icing and use that

For the icing:
500g icing sugar sifted (easiest way to sift is by pulsing in a food processor)
275g salted butter (about 2.5 sticks)
Extra table salt to taste
Optional: sprinkles to decorate

Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease whatever 18-20cm round cake tins you have (I only had one so I had to bake each cake one after the other). Line the base of tins with baking paper and grease paper and dust tins with flour. Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl and set aside. Mix milk and vanilla together in a measuring jug.

Using an electric mixer on low speed, beat sugar and butter in a large bowl until blended. Increase speed to high and beat for 2 mins or until pale and creamy. Reduce speed to medium low, add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Alternately add flour mix and milk mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture (I did it by adding 1/4 of of the dry mixture followed by 1/3 of the wet mixture at a time). Beat until smooth, occasionaly scraping bowl with a spatula. Divide mixture evenly into 5 medium bowls (I did this by measure the batter, it ended up being about 300g per bowl for me). Leave one bowl of batter white, then very gradually add colouring to each bowl and gently fold it into the mixture, adding slightly more colouring as you do each bowl so that the 5 bowls give you a even gradient of colour.

Pour batter into prepared tins and bake each layer for about 15-20 minutes or until a skewer into the centre comes out clean and the outside is golden. Cool in tin for 5 mins and then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely. Prepare the icing; remove butter from fridge 30 mins before starting and chop into small cubes. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter on high with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy. Reduce speed to medium-low and gradually add icing sugar until combined, then increase speed to high and beat until pale and fluffy. While still mixing, gradually add any extra table salt to taste if needed.

Prepare cake for icing, you may need to trim the tops a bit to make sure they are level. Layer cakes with jam (or more icing). Crumb coat the cake with some of the prepared icing and chill for 15 mins. Cover the cake with more icing, smoothing out with a spatula (I use an offset spatula that I keep clean and warm by running under hot water to get it smoother). If decorating with sprinkles, it can get pretty messy so place your cake in a large container that will catch any of the sprinkles that will run off the cake as you try to stick them on the sides of the cake. Serve cake at room temperature, store cake in the fridge in an airtight container.

Peach Coffe Cake

 Serve this peach coffee cake for a brunch or breakfast or top it with whipped cream or ice cream for a very special summer dessert. I haven't tried this with frozen or canned (drained) peaches, but I'm sure they would work just fine.

  • 3 large peaches
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 8 tablespoons butter, softened (4 ounces)

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • ***Topping***
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • pinch ground nutmeg
  • 5 tablespoons melted butter

Preparation:

Peel and thinly slice the peaches and put them on paper towels to remove excess moisture. Set aside. Grease a 9-inch springform pan. Heat oven to 350°.
Combine the 1 1/2 cups flour, baking powder, soda, and salt; set aside.
In a mixing bowl with electric mixer, cream the 4 ounces of softened butter with the granulated sugar and 1/4 cup of brown sugar. Beat for about 3 to 4 minutes. Beat in the eggs until smooth. Beat in sour cream and vanilla and almond extracts. With mixer on low speed, beat in the flour mixture just until blended. Spread the batter in the prepared baking pan. Arrange the thinly sliced peaches evenly over the batter, overlapping where needed.
In another bowl combine the brown sugar, 3/4 cup flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg, stirring with a fork until smooth. Add the 5 tablespoons of melted butter and blend well with the fork. Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the peach slices.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the cake is firm and top is browned.
Let cool for about 10 minutes on a rack; remove the side of the pan and cool completely before slicing.

Method

Strawberry Shortcut Cake
For the cake:
1) Preheat the oven to 190C/Gas 5.

1) Butter an 20cm round cake pan, line it with parchment paper, butter the paper, and dust the pan lightly with flour.

2) Whisk the flour with the caster sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Lightly whisk in the butter, egg, milk, and vanilla, just until smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean, about 25 mins. Cool on a rack for 10 mins, then turn it out of the pan, flip upright, and cool completely on the rack.

For the strawberries and cream:
1) Set aside 350g of the best-looking whole berries for topping the cake. Hull and thinly slice the rest of the berries and toss with the caster sugar. Set aside. Whip the cream with the icing sugar and vanilla to soft peaks. Refrigerate until ready to use.

To assemble the cake:
1) Cut the cake in half horizontally with a serrated knife. Place the bottom layer cut side up on a cake stand or serving plate. Drizzle the juices from the sliced berries over the cut sides of both halves. Fold a couple tablespoons of the whipped cream into the sliced berries and spread over the bottom layer. Top with the other piece of cake, cut side down. Spread the remaining whipped cream on the top of the cake and top the cake with the whole berries.

* Chef's note: Cutting a cake into layers is easy as saw-spin-separate: Begin to saw the cake in half horizontally. Just before you reach the middle of the cake, give it a quarter turn. Continue to saw almost to the centre, then give it another quarter turn and saw again until you reach your original point of entry. Saw completely through the cake's centre and separate the layers

Raspeberry Mousse Cake


 This is a truly spectacular cake, and is perfect for any special occasion.But sometimes it's those little moments you share with people you love that are the nicest.This is definitely a cake for the summer when raspberries are in season. For the filling you could replace fresh raspberries with frozen ones, but for the topping you should use the fresh ones.

Raspberry Mousse Cake
(makes one 26-cm / 10-inch round cake)

shortcrust:
100 g flour
1 pinch of baking powder
1 tbsp. sugar
1 pinch of salt
1 egg yolk
60 g butter

sponge:
3 eggs
125 g sugar
100 g flour
25 g corn starch

mousse:
7 sheets gelatin
250 g raspberries
150 g sugar
3 tbsp. freshly pressed lemon juice
600 g whipping cream

topping and assembly:
100 g raspberry jelly or preserves
400 g raspberries
1 package clear glaze
1/4 l raspberry juice
1-2 tbsp. sugar


Shortcrust:

To make the shortcrust bottom of the cake use a food processor and mix together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, egg yolk and butter until the dough comes together. Put in saran wrap and lay in the fridge for about 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 180° C (350° F). Line a 26-cm (10-inch) round springform with parchment paper. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to fit the form. Put into the form and pinch several times with a fork. Bake for about 15 minutes. Let cool before you remove it from the pan.

Sponge:
For the sponge separate the eggs. Whisk the egg yolks with a handheld mixer together with the sugar and 2 tbsp. of hot water for about 3 minutes until  nice and foamy. Beat the egg whites with the salt until stiff peaks form. Combine both egg mixtures together carefully. Then sieve the flour and corn starch on top and carefully fold in. Put in the springform pan and bake for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Let cool on a wire rack.

Raspberry Mousse:
To make the raspberry mousse first soak the gelatin sheets in cold water. Puree the raspberries together with the lemon juice and the sugar. Whip the cream until stiff. Warm the soaked gelatin with a little bit of the raspberry puree until the gelatin has dissolved. Mix with the remaining puree. Then fold carefully into the whipped cream.

Assembly:
To assemble the cake first put the shortcrust bottom on your cake plate. Warm up the raspberry jelly and spread evenly onto the shortcrust. Slice the sponge horizontally into 2 levels. Put one part on top of the shortcrust. Now put a cake ring around the cake.

Spread half of the raspberry mousse on top and lay your second sponge on top. Put the remaining mousse on top and level until even. Cover with saran wrap and put into the fridge for about 4-5 hours.

Arrange the raspberries on top of the cake. Make the glaze with the juice and the sugar as directed on the package. Using a big spoon slowly pour the glaze over the cake and let it set. Store in the fridge until serving.

Burger Macarons


 Ganache filled macarons are always on the sweet side, but with all the fruit toppings it tastes really good. They would make a cute dessert for any BBQ party or picnic.

Macaron shells:

80 g egg whites (about 2 large egg whites - aged for 3-5 days in the fridge)
22 g granulated sugar
180 g powdered sugar
100 g ground almonds
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
sesame seeds for sprinkling

Filling: 
50 g milk chocolate, finely chopped
100 g dark chocolate, finely chopped
75 ml heavy cream

mango ~ as "cheese"
strawberries ~ as "tomatoes"
green apple ~ as "onion rings"
mint leaves ~ as "lettuce"
some splashes of lemon juice


Make the shells:
In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the egg whites to a foam, then gradually add the sugar until you obtain a glossy meringue. Do not overbeat your meringue or it will be too dry. Place the powdered sugar, almonds and cinnamon  in a food processor and give them a good pulse until the nuts are finely ground. Add them to the meringue, give it a quick fold to break some of the air and then fold the mass carefully until you obtain a batter that falls back on itself after counting to 10. Give quick strokes at first to break the mass and slow down. The whole process should not take more than 50 strokes. Test a small amount on a plate: if the tops flattens on its own you are good to go. If there is a small beak, give the batter a couple of turns.

Fill a pastry bag fitted with a plain tip (Ateco #807 or #809) with the batter and pipe small rounds (1.5 inches in diameter) onto parchment paper or silicone mats lined baking sheets. Sprinkle half of the shells with sesame seeds. Let the macarons sit out for 30 minutes to an hour to harden their shells a bit. In the meantime, preheat the oven to 280 degrees Fahrenheit (140° Celsius). When ready, bake for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on their size. Let cool. If you have trouble removing the shells, pour a couple of drops of water under the parchment paper while the sheet is still a bit warm and the macarons will lift up more easily do to the moisture. Don't let them sit there in it too long or they will become soggy. Once baked and if you are not using them right away, store them in an airtight container out of the fridge for a couple of days or in the freezer.

Make the filling:
Heat the heavy cream until boiling, then pour over the chocolate. Stir slightly until chocolate has melted completely. Let cool before filling the shells. You can whip the ganache a little before filling the macarons to get a little more volume.

Cut the mango in small slices, then cut them in squares. They will be your cheese imitate. Cut the strawberries in small slices, they will serve as your tomatoes. Slice the apple in small slices, then cut out circles. Cut out a smaller circles out of your circles, they will be your onion rings. Cover with some lemon juice until using, so they will not get brown. Get the mint leaves ready as your lettuce.

Pipe the ganache filling with help of a pastry bag on the center of one shell to make it look like a hamburger patty. Top with your burger toppings and put a macaron shell with sesame seeds on top.

  It has a sponge base, a creamy white chocolate and mascarpone cream and is topped with lots of fresh mixed berries. The prefect summer cake.

Mixed Berries and White Chocolate Cake

Beat together the eggs, sugar and salt for about 5-8 minutes until thick and creamy. Fold in the flour and ground almonds. Fill the dough in the prepared pan and smooth the top. Break the ladyfingers in small 1 cm pieces (about an inch) and press them in the dough.

Bake for about 15-20 minutes. Let cool in the form. Remove the parchment paper and put on a plate. Warm up the apricot jam and spread on top of the cake. Put a cake ring around the base.

For the cream topping melt the white chocolate in a double boiler. Soak the gelantine in cold water. Mix the egg with 1 tbsp of water and beat over a water bath (double boiler) until foamy. Stir in the melted chocolate. Melt the wet gelantine in a small saucepan and quickly stir in the chocolate-egg mixture. Let cool slightly, then stir in the mascarpone.

  • 1 tablespoon instant coffee
  • 100 g (3 ¼ ounces) unsalted butter, softened

Directions


  1. To prepare the sponge layer, first, preheat the oven to 220 degrees C (425 degrees F). Line a 20 x 30 cm (8 x 12 inches) baking pan with parchment paper. In a large bowl, sift together the flour and icing sugar, then add the powdered almonds. Mix well. Add eggs, one at a time, and beat until pale. Add the melted butter.

  2. Beat the egg whites until stiff, then gradually add sugar and continue  beating until stiff peaks are obtained.

  3. Add 1/3 of the beaten egg whites to the batter, mixing well, then incorporate the remainder, folding until just combined. Pour onto the baking tray and spread evenly. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes, or until golden and springy when touched. Loosen the edges with a knife and carefully turn out onto a wire rack covered with a sheet of parchment paper. Allow to cool.

  4. Place finely chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl and set aside. Bring milk and 30 ml (1 fluid ounce) of the cream to a boil. Pour the hot liquid onto the chocolate. Wait 30 seconds, then add the butter and mix until smooth. Let cool until a spreadable consistency is obtained.

  5. To prepare the coffee syrup, place sugar and 90 ml (3 fluid ounces) of water in a pan and stir until dissolved. Bring to a boil and add coffee.

  6. To prepare butter cream, place sugar and 3 teaspoons of water in a heavy skillet and make a sugar syrup, i.e. stir until sugar is completely dissolved, then boil, without stirring, until syrup reaches soft-ball stage, between 116  and 118 degrees C (214 – 244 degrees F).

  7. Beat the egg white until soft peaks are obtained. Continue beating while incorporating the hot syrup. Beat until mixture is cold. Dissolve instant coffee in 1 teaspoon of boiling water, cool and add to butter. Add one half of the egg-white mixture and beat well, then gently fold in the remainder until well combined.

  8. Using a sharp knife, divide the sponge into three equal sections and carefully peel off parchment paper from sections. Each should be 10 x 20 cm (4 x 8 inches). Soak the first section with one-third of the coffee syrup, then spread over it half of the butter cream. Place the next section of sponge on top, then soak with coffee syrup and spread with half of the ganache. Place the last section on top, soak with remaining syrup and spread with the rest of the butter cream, taking care to smooth the surface. Chill until butter cream firmly set.

  9. Melt the rest of the ganache over a pan of very hot water. Bring the remaining cream to the boiling point and incorporate into ganache. Allow to cool until a smooth, spreadable consistency is obtained and spread over top of cake.

Meanwhile, turn contents of two ice cube trays (about 32 cubes) into large bowl; add 4 cups cold water. Measure cream into large measuring cup or pitcher. With paring knife, scrape vanilla seeds into cream; place pod in cream along with seeds and set mixture aside. Set eight wine glasses or 4-ounce ramekins on baking sheet.
2. Heat milk and gelatin mixture over high heat, stirring constantly, until gelatin is dissolved and mixture registers 135 degrees on instant-read thermometer, about 1½ minutes. Off heat, add sugar and salt; stir until dissolved, about 1 minute.
3. Stirring constantly, slowly pour cream with vanilla into saucepan containing milk, then transfer mixture to medium bowl and set bowl over ice water bath. Stir frequently until thickened to the consistency of eggnog and mixture registers 50 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, about 10 minutes. Strain mixture into large measuring cup or pitcher, then distribute evenly among wine glasses or ramekins. Cover baking sheet with plastic wrap, making sure that plastic does not mar surface of cream; refrigerate until just set (mixture should wobble when shaken gently), 4 hours.
4. Serve panna cotta in wine glasses, or, unmold panna cotta from ramekins and serve immediately.

Molten Chocolate

 Molten Chocolate Cake with Raspberry Sauce

Ingredients

Cakes:
12 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped, divided
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1/2 cup sugar, plus 2 tablespoons for dusting ramekins
1 cup butter, cubed, plus 2 tablespoons for ramekins
4 eggs
4 egg yolks
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon almond extract

Sauce and Garnish:
1 pint fresh raspberries
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon Kirsch, optional

Directions

For Cakes:
To make the ganache, melt 4 ounces of the chocolate with the heavy cream over a double boiler. Stir until smooth and chill until firm enough to scoop, about 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and butter 8 (7-ounce) ramekins. Coat the inside with 2 tablespoons of the sugar, making sure to tap out the excess.
In a medium bowl combine the remaining chocolate with 1 cup of butter over a double boiler until melted, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature. In large bowl beat together the eggs, egg yolks and the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar until pale, thick and light. Sift the flour over top, and fold in the salt and almond extract. Fold in the cooled chocolate mixture until uniformly combined. Divide equally between the prepared ramekins.
Using a small scoop or tablespoon, form the chilled ganache into 8 balls.
Put 1 into the center of each ramekin and press down slightly to cover with the batter.
(Cakes can be prepared to this point, covered and held in the refrigerator for a few hours until ready to bake.) Arrange the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake until the tops look set, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from oven and carefully invert the ramekins onto serving plates. Garnish with raspberry sauce and reserved raspberries and serve immediately.

For Raspberry Sauce and Garnish:
Reserve 8 raspberries for garnish. Mash the remaining raspberries through a fine meshed sieve into a small bowl. Discard the seeds. Add the 2 tablespoons of superfine sugar and the Kirsch and whisk until the sugar is dissolved.
