Hello my lovelies,
Here’s my latest pastry creation. A chocolate and raspberry delight…
Please welcome my creamy chocolate and raspberry cake.
Let’s see the recipe, Chef!
Creamy Chocolate and Raspberry Cake
Ingredients
- Chocolate ganache
- 2 g gelatine sheet
- 270 g cream (30% fat)
- 125 g milk chocolate
- 1 tsp honey
- Raspberry curd
- 160 g raspberries
- 45 g butter
- 2 eggs
- 70 g sugar
- 2 g gelatine sheet
- Genoise pastry
- 2 large eggs
- 67 g sugar
- 20 g corn starch
- 50 g flour
- Decoration
- 10 raspberries
Instructions
Chocolate ganache
Soak the gelatine into cold water.
Pour 100 g of cream in a saucepan. Add the honey.
Heat to a boil. Stop heating immediately.
Melt the chocolate with a double boiler. Pour the hot cream in 3 times until homogeneous.
Add the drained gelatine and combine.
Add the remaining cream, combine.
Place a clingfilm directly on the ganache and set aside in your fridge for 4 hours.
Raspberry curd
Soak the gelatine into cold water.
Pour the raspberries, sugar and butter in your sauce pan. Cook 3-4 minutes at medium heat and whip gently.
Add the 2 beaten eggs and cook at higher heat and whip more vigorously for 2-3 minutes. Your raspberry curd should get thicker.
Remove from the heat once your whisk makes furrows.
Pour the curd through a strainer to remove the solid parts.
Add the drained gelatine and combine.
Let the raspberry curd cool down in your fridge for 2 hours with a cling film on top.
Genoise pastry
Preheat your oven at 190 C / 375 F degrees.
Whisk the eggs and sugar in your large bowl.
Place it over a sauce pan with boiling water (double boiler) and whisk with your electrical whisk until you get a white mixture and a 50 C / 120 F degrees temperature. (the mixture should triple in volume)
Remove from the double boiler and keep on whisking until the temperature goes down to 25-30 C / 85 F degrees (you should be able to touch the bowl without heat sensation).
Add the flour and corn starch in 2 times, mix gently with a spatula.
Pour into your buttered and floured mold.
Cook for 15 minutes.
Let cool down on a cooling rack.
Assembly
Whip the raspberry curd until smooth and pipe some of it on the genoise cake. Spread with a spatula.
Whisk the chocolate ganache for a few minutes until firm and compact.
Pipe the chocolate ganache and raspberry curd using 2 different nozzles.
Add a few raspberries on top.
Set aside in your fridge until serving.
