Ingredients

• 4 medium sized apples
• 4 tablespoons golden raisins and currants, mixed
• 1 tablespoon walnut pieces, chopped
• ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
• 3 tablespoon sugar, divided
• 4 tablespoons apple juice or rum
• 4 puff pastry squares (approx. 5 x 5 in.)
• 2 egg yolks
• 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400F. Wash the apples, and peel and core them. Mix the raisins, walnuts, cinnamon and 1 tablespoon of sugar, and add the apple juice or rum. Set aside and soak for a couple of minutes, then fill each apple with the mixture. If you have boerenjongens, this is a good time to use them!
2. Set each apple, top side down, on a square piece of puff pastry and wrap the apple, by pulling up each corner and tucking it slightly into the cored hole. Make sure all sides are covered and clinging to the apple.
3. If you have some extra dough left and a couple of cinnamon sticks, you can make stems and leaves and wrap the apple with an additional decorative something or other, but it's not necessary. If you do use cinnamon sticks, make sure to wrap the top with a little aluminum foil, as they tend to burn easily.
4. Make an egg wash with the yolks and the water, and brush on the dough. Sprinkle all four apples with the remaining sugar. Place each apple in a ramekin or small aluminum pie dish, smooth side up. Bake golden brown in 20-25 minutes.

Preparation

Cake

1. If using a proofing drawer, heat to 100°F.
2. In a large bowl, whisk the milk, eggs and sugar with a fork.
3. Stir in the flour, yeast and salt until a ragged dough forms.
4. Turn it out onto a work surface and using two bench scrapers, flip and work the dough until elastic, about 5 minutes.
5. Add the butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, scraping and flipping until the dough is smooth and keeps its shape.
6. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic, and place in a warm area or proofing drawer until slightly puffed, about 30 to 45 minutes.

Cake Pan Preparation

1. While the dough is proofing, mix the butter and flour in a small ramekin to form a paste.
2. Brush it on the inside of the Bundt pan.

Spiced Rum Syrup

1. Place all of the ingredients except the rum in a small saucepan and bring to a boil.
2. Cook until the syrup is reduced to 1 cup.
3. Let cool, reserving the vanilla pod and star anise for the garnish.
4. Stir in the rum.

Cake

1. Combine the currants and rum in a small ramekin and let soak (or microwave them for 20 seconds and let cool).
2. Strain the currants and gently fold them into the dough after the first proof.
3. Spoon the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, smoothing the top.
4. Cover and proof until almost doubled, about 25 minutes.
5. Heat the oven to 375°F.
6. Bake until golden brown and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 28 minutes.
7. Let it cool in the pan for 2 minutes while you warm the rum syrup on low heat.
8. Brush the cake with some of the syrup, then invert the cake onto a cooling rack, place the rack on a baking sheet and soak the cake with the remaining syrup.
9. Pour any syrup that accumulates on the baking sheet back into the saucepan and repeat until all of the syrup has absorbed into the cake.

Apricot Jam Glaze

1. In a large saucepan, toss the apricots with the sugar and 1½ teaspoons of the lemon juice and set over medium-high to high heat.
2. Cook, stirring a few times to prevent burning, and break up with a potato masher or wooden spoon until the jam is thick enough to coat a spoon, 15 to 20 minutes.
3. Stir in the remaining lemon juice.
4. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl and set aside to cool slightly.
5. Brush onto rum-soaked cake.

Spun Sugar Ball and Candied Fruit

1. Oil two wooden dowels and tape them to your work surface side by side and extended over the edge (or use wooden spoons with the handles facing out).
2. Cover the floor underneath with newspaper.
3. Fill a large bowl halfway with ice water, and fill a second smaller bowl with cold water for brushing the inside of your saucepan.
4. Combine the sugar, glucose syrup and water in a medium saucepan and allow the water to absorb into the sugar.
5. Heat over medium-high without stirring.
6. Once the mixture comes to a boil, use a pastry brush to coat the sides of the pan with cold water to stop sugar crystals from forming.
7. Brush water on any sugar crystals on the side of the saucepan and heat to 329°F.
8. Immediately place the pan in the ice-water bath and let cool, then place it on a trivet or kitchen towel.
9. Place two forks back-to-back, then dip them into the syrup and swing them back and forth over the dowels, letting the syrup fall in threads.
10. Gather the threads and form them into a ball.
11. Working quickly, dip the Cape gooseberries into the syrup to coat.
12. Place them on parchment paper to cool.

Caramelized Apricot

1. Sprinkle sugar in a small non-stick frying pan set over medium-high.
2. When it becomes very dark, place the apricot halves face down, making sure they’re coated evenly, and let them caramelize.
3. Carefully flip them with a spatula and transfer to a plate.

Stabilized Chantilly Cream

1. Place the sheet of gelatin in a bowl of cold water and let stand for 5 minutes.
2. Right before serving, use the whisk attachment of a mixer to whip all but 1 tablespoon of the cream with the icing sugar and vanilla until the whisk leaves a trail.
3. Combine the gelatin with 1 tablespoon of water and microwave in 10-second intervals until fully melted.
4. Stir it into the whipped cream until it dissolves.

C'est testé et c'est très bon. Le goût de coco rappelle les Bounty.

Ingredients for meringue

• ¾ cup sliced almonds, blanched-toasted
• ½ cup hazelnuts, toasted and skinned
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• ⅛ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup sugar
• 4 large egg whites, room temperature
• ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar

Ingredients for buttercream

• ¾ cup whole milk
• 4 large egg yolks
• ⅓ cup sugar
• 1½ teaspoons cornstarch
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons Amaretto or 2 tablespoons water
• 1½ tablespoons instant espresso powder
• 16 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

Ingredients for ganache

• 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped fine
• ¾ cup heavy cream
• 2 teaspoons corn syrup

Ingredients for decoration

• 12 hazelnuts, toasted and skinned
• 1 cup sliced almonds, blanched-toasted

Instructions for the meringue

1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 250 degrees. Using ruler and pencil, draw 13 by 10 1/2-inch rectangle on piece of parchment paper. Grease baking sheet and place parchment on it, ink side down.
2. Process almonds, hazelnuts, cornstarch, and salt in food processor until nuts are finely ground, 15 to 20 seconds. Add 1/2 cup sugar and pulse to combine, 1 to 2 pulses.
3. Using stand mixer fitted with whisk, whip egg whites and cream of tartar on medium-low speed until foamy, about 1 minute. Increase speed to medium-high and whip whites to soft, billowy mounds, about 1 minute. With mixer running at medium-high speed, slowly add remaining 1/2 cup sugar and continue to whip until glossy, stiff peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Fold nut mixture into egg whites in 2 batches. With offset spatula, spread meringue evenly into 13 by 10 1/2-inch rectangle on parchment, using lines on parchment as guide. Using spray bottle, evenly mist surface of meringue with water until glistening. Bake for 1 1/2 hours. Turn off oven and allow meringue to cool in oven for 1 1/2 hours. (Do not open oven during baking and cooling.) Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes. (Cooled meringue can be kept at room temperature, tightly wrapped in plastic wrap, for up to 2 days.).

Instructions for the buttercream

1. Heat milk in small saucepan over medium heat until just simmering. Meanwhile, whisk yolks, sugar, cornstarch, and salt in bowl until smooth. Remove milk from heat and, whisking constantly, add half of milk to yolk mixture to temper. Whisking constantly, return tempered yolk mixture to remaining milk in saucepan. Return saucepan to medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until mixture is bubbling and thickens to consistency of warm pudding, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer pastry cream to bowl. Cover and refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours. Before using, warm gently to room temperature in microwave at 50 percent power, stirring every 10 seconds.
2. Stir together amaretto and espresso powder; set aside. Using stand mixer fitted with paddle, beat butter at medium speed until smooth and light, 3 to 4 minutes. Add pastry cream in 3 batches, beating for 30 seconds after each addition. Add amaretto mixture and continue to beat until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes longer, scraping down bowl thoroughly halfway through mixing.

Instructions for the ganache

1. Place chocolate in heatproof bowl. Bring cream and corn syrup to simmer in small saucepan over medium heat. Pour cream mixture over chocolate and let stand for 1 minute. Stir mixture until smooth. Set aside to cool until chocolate mounds slightly when dripped from spoon, about 5 minutes.

Instructions for montage

1. Carefully invert meringue and peel off parchment. Reinvert meringue and place on cutting board. Using serrated knife and gentle, repeated scoring motion, trim edges of meringue to form 12 by 10-inch rectangle. Discard trimmings. With long side of rectangle parallel to counter, use ruler to mark both long edges of meringue at 3-inch intervals. Using serrated knife, score surface of meringue by drawing knife toward you from mark on top edge to corresponding mark on bottom edge. Repeat scoring until meringue is fully cut through. Repeat until you have four 10 by 3-inch rectangles. (If any meringues break during cutting, use them as middle layers.).
2. Place 3 rectangles on wire rack set in rimmed baking sheet. Using offset spatula, spread 1/4 cup ganache evenly over surface of each meringue. Refrigerate until ganache is firm, about 15 minutes. Set aside remaining ganache.
3. Using offset spatula, spread top of remaining rectangle with 1/2 cup buttercream; place on wire rack with ganache-coated meringues. Invert 1 ganache-coated meringue, place on top of buttercream, and press gently to level. Repeat, spreading meringue with 1/2 cup buttercream and topping with inverted ganache-coated meringue. Spread top with buttercream. Invert final ganache-coated strip on top of cake. Use 1 hand to steady top of cake and spread half of remaining buttercream to lightly coat sides of cake, then use remaining buttercream to coat top of cake. Smooth until cake resembles box. Refrigerate until buttercream is firm, about 2 hours. (Once buttercream is firm, assembled cake may be wrapped tightly in plastic and refrigerated for up to 2 days.).
4. Warm remaining ganache in heatproof bowl set over barely simmering water, stirring occasionally, until mixture is very fluid but not hot. Keeping assembled cake on wire rack, pour ganache over top of cake. Using offset spatula, spread ganache in thin, even layer over top of cake, letting excess flow down sides. Spread ganache over sides in thin layer (top must be completely covered, but some small gaps on sides are OK).
5. Garnish top of cake with hazelnuts. Holding bottom of cake with 1 hand, gently press almonds onto sides with other hand. Chill on wire rack, uncovered, for at least 3 hours or up to 12 hours. Transfer to platter. Cut into slices with sharp knife that has been dipped in hot water and wiped dry before each slice. Serve.

C'était très bon. À refaire.

Petites remarques sur la réalisation :

• le temps de cuisson de la meringue semble un peu long et donne une meringue sèche. Mais comme elle est assemblée avec des éléments humides, ça ne gène pas du tout.
• pour la crème au beurre, il faut que le beurre soit à température ambiante (≈21°C), en dessous de ça, elle ne se mélange pas à la crème pâtissière.
• pour réchauffer la ganache pour le dessus du gâteau, il faut la mettre à feu très doux pour que le gras ne se sépare pas.

Ingredients

Yellow Cake

• 1-1/2 cups butter, softened to room temperature
• 2-1/4 cups sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1-1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1-1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3-3/4 cups cake flour
• 1-1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 2-1/4 teaspoons baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoon salt

Fudge Frosting

• 3 cups sugar
• 1-1/2 cups evaporated milk
• 8 ounces unsweetened chocolate, roughly chopped
• 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 1-1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter
• 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

1. In a bowl, blend flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt together. Set aside. Next, in a stand mixer, cream together butter and sugar until fluffy; about 3 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix on low until combined. Next, gradually incorporate the dry ingredients, mixing on low until everything is moist; about 1 minute. Finally, add in the buttermilk with your mixer on its lowest speed until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
2. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Then, prepare two 9-inch cake pans by greasing them with butter and lining with parchment paper. We will be baking two cake layers at a time—we’re going to assume you don’t have eight 9-inch cake pans in your cupboards!
   Add about 3/4 cup (212 grams) of the cake batter to each pan and then spread into an even layer using the back of a spoon.
   Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cake is slightly golden and set in the middle. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes, then carefully remove the cake layers and transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling. Repeat until all eight layers are baked.
3. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the sugar and evaporated milk and cook until the mixture is warm. Reduce the heat to medium-low and then add the chocolate, cocoa powder and butter. Stir the mixture until the chocolate and butter have melted and the mixture has warmed through. Continue to cook the frosting until it has thickened, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat and then stir in the vanilla. Let cool to room temperature.
4. Begin by placing the bottom layer of cake on a plate or cake stand. Then, spread a generous, even layer (2-3 tablespoons) of fudge frosting over the cake. Top with the next layer of cake and then repeat.
   When you reach the final layer, spread the remaining fudge frosting on the top and down the sides of the cake. We recommend using an offset spatula to get the frosting nice and smooth.

• 305 g water
• 140 g superfine sugar
• 2 tbsp coffee extract

Chocolate glaze

• 300 g chocolate pate a glacer
• 90 g semisweet chocolate
• 60 g unsweetened chocolate
• 45 g vegetable oil

Chablon layer

• 100 g pate a glacer

Instructions

Sponge

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.
2. In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk the confectioner’s sugar, almond flour and 4 of the eggs on high, until mixture doubles in volume, about 4 minutes. Add the last 2 eggs and whisk on high for another 5 minutes.
3. To make the meringue, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form. Add in ¼ of the sugar. Increase the speed of the mixer and slowly pour in the rest of the sugar. Whip until you reach medium-stiff peaks.
4. Fold ⅓ of the meringue into the yolk mixture, followed by the flour. When the mixture is smooth, gently fold in the remaining meringue.
5. Divide the mixture between the two prepared pans, Place pans in oven and turn temperature down to 375°F. Bake until deep golden brown, about 18 to 22 minutes, quickly rotating halfway.

Chocolate ganache

1. Scald the heavy cream in a saucepot. Pour cream over the chopped chocolate and let sit for a minute to let the chocolate melt. Stir until smooth.

Buttercream

1. Beat the eggs to ribbon stage in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment.
2. Pour the water in a small saucepan and cover with the sugar. Heat to 240°F.
3. Pour the syrup into the egg in a thin stream, whisking on medium. Once all the syrup has been added, increase speed to high. The mixture should be thick and creamy. Continue to whisk until room temperature.
4. Once completely cooled, continue whisking and add the butter, little by little. Add the coffee extract.

Coffee syrup

1. Bring the sugar and water to a boil. Remove from heat and add the coffee extract.

Chocolate glaze

1. Place all the ingredients in a bowl and melt over a bain-marie. Gently stir the glaze to avoid incorporating air. Set aside ¼ cup of glaze.

Chablon

1. Melt pate a glacer over a double boiler. Set aside.

Assembly

1. Warm coffee syrup in saucepan over medium heat until warm to the touch.
2. Cut sponges in half crosswise, leaving parchment on sponge (this means you cut the paper along with the sponge). You will have 4 pieces of sponge, but you will only need 3 for your cake.
3. Place one sponge layer on the underside of a rimmed baking sheet. Using an offset spatula, evenly spread all of the pate a glacer over the top, from edge to edge. Let set in fridge for 2 minutes.
4. Flip sponge onto underside of a sheet tray lined with parchment so chablon is on the bottom and gently peel parchment from sponge. Brush with warm coffee syrup. Sponge should be evenly saturated, but not soggy.
5. Spread a thin layer of coffee buttercream on the sponge, no thicker than 1/8 of an inch, as smoothly and evenly as possible.
6. Cover with another layer of sponge, press lightly, and brush with coffee syrup as before.
7. Spread the ganache over the sponge in a very thin layer, no thicker than 1/8-inch, as smoothly and evenly as possible.
8. Cover the ganache with the third layer of sponge, press lightly and then brush with the coffee syrup as before.
9. Spread a very thin layer of buttercream on top of the cake, thinner than previous layers.
10. Chill the cake in the freezer for 10 minutes.
11. Once set, pour the glaze on top of the cake, avoiding spreading with a spatula — let it flow on its own. Place cake in the freezer to allow the glaze to set for at least 10 minutes.
12. With a hot knife, trim the sides of the cake perfectly to 9 inches x 6 inches.
13. Use the reserved glaze to fill a paper cone. Pipe the word "Opera" in cursive on top of the cake.

La recette est très bonne malgré l'utilisation malgré moi de noix un peu rance.

Je trouve que c'est mieux d'aplatir les boules de pâte car elles ne le font pas d'elles même sous l'effet de la chaleur. En plus de cela, il ne faut vraiment pas trop les cuire car ils deviennent un peu dur.

Ingredients for the crust

• 100 g unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 100 g cane sugar
• 1 large egg
• 100 g rye flour
• 100 g all purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• Pinch of cardamom

Ingredients for the filling

• 250 g fresh blueberries
• 250 g sour cream
• 1 egg
• ¼ tsp cardamom
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 4 Tbsp cane sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375° F. Lightly butter a 28 cm (10″) tart pan with removable bottom.
2. Cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy and light.
3. Add in the egg, and mix.
4. Stir in the flours, pinch of cardamom, and baking powder just until combined into a pliable ball.
5. Turn the soft dough into your greased pan and use your hands to spread it into an even layer across the bottom and up the sides of the pan.
6. Prick the bottom with a fork and bake the empty crust for 10 mins. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
7. While your crust bakes, in a bowl whisk together the sour cream, egg, sugar, vanilla, and cardamom. The filling will have a thin, pourable consistency.
8. Spread the blueberries evenly across the par-baked crust. Carefully pour the filling over and around the berries and spread gently with a spatula until the crust is filled evenly.
9. Carefully return to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the filling around the edges is set. The center should not look like uncooked liquid, but neither too dry and firm.
10. Remove from the oven and cool at room temperature for at least 40 mins.
11. Serve warm or at room temperature, with ice cream or whipped cream if you like, maybe with a few extra berries on top.

J'ai fait ça pour Noël et j'ai été moyennement enchanté du résultat. C'est en partie de mon fait car j'ai utilisé du beurre salé mais aussi du fait de la recette car le rhum a pris le dessus des saveurs.
J'ai aussi doublé les quantités de la crème à fourrer mais c'était une bonne idée.
Les autres composants de la recette sont quant à eux très bien réussis.

Pour résumer, la prochaine fois que j'en fais, il faut :

1. doubler la quantité de crème à fourrer.
2. ne pas mettre de rhum dans cette même crème.
3. ne pas utiliser de beurre salé même si d'habitude je préfère.
