How to bake a Swiss cake with mascarpone? Take all the ingredients you need.
How do I make a cake sponge? Take eggs, pre-wash them in warm water with soda, as there may be harmful bacteria on the surface. Break the eggs into a deep bowl and beat for 10 minutes with a mixer, the mass should thicken. Gradually add sugar.
Sift the flour with baking powder through a sieve or with a special mug to saturate the flour with oxygen and make the baking more airy.
In three stages, add the sifted flour to the eggs and gently stir with the spatula from top to bottom. The dough should pour from the shoulder blade. Be prepared for the fact that flour may be needed a little less or a little more, navigate the consistency of the dough.
Pour the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and flatten it all over. I have a baking sheet size 38 30 cm. Put bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 20 minutes. Time is indicated approximately, focus on your oven.
How to make a cream? Whisk the chilled cream in icing sugar and vanilla sugar in deep cookware (to avoid spattering the table) at low revolutions until thickened and soft peaks. Add the mascarpone and mixer at slow speeds, toss the cream with the cheese. It is no longer necessary to beat, it will spoil the cream. You will get a thick cream. Take the cream for it greasy from 33%, otherwise the thick cream may not work.
Remove the finished biscuit from the oven, leave it to cool.
Turn the sponge over the towel and trim around the edges.
Cut the biscuit into three identical pieces. I used the lineup for this. Place the cut edges on a baking sheet lined with parchment and put them in the oven to dry. They will be needed to sprinkle the cake.
Fold the biscuit on top of each other to have an even cake. And soak with impregnation. How to make impregnation? Mix the boiled water with sugar and cognac or liqueur, but you can only get by with sugar. And spread this liquid with a silicone biscuit brush.
Melt the chocolate with the cream (milk) in a water bath or in the microwave at low power, mix, make a uniform, smooth mass. Brush two strips of biscuit. Put them in the fridge for two hours.
Brush the last biscuit with jam. You can take any jam. I had plum, they smeared biscuit.
We collect cake. Place the first chocolate-greased sponge on a backing or selected plate, place part of the cream on top of it and flatten all over the sponge. In the second, lay the cake, also smeared with chocolate, and spread some of the cream on it.
Last lay out the cake with jam.
Coat the whole cake with cream. You can leave a little cream to decorate the cake.
Crush the dried edges of the biscuit in a blender and sprinkle the whole cake with them. Decorate the cake to your taste. You can take berries and remaining cream, you can add food dye to the cream and squeeze it onto the cake using a pastry bag with a shaped nozzle. Let the cake brew in the fridge for at least 2 hour.
