MY SAINT HONORE It 's my honor saint because of this cake I made with my hands every single piece .. I swear that I never made anything like it. It was a bit 'I wanted to honor the saint, but I wanted to wait a good opportunity and above all I wanted to wait to have a bit 'of time because I wanted to do everything myself .. the puffs of pastry base, the sponge cake with cream and nothing has ever given me more satisfaction. I got up early, I do not say the time and I started work in my kingdom .. my kitchen, with the kenwood and the oven on 8 begins to rise, too. They can no longer of whipping cream and cook .. have never worked so hard in a few hours, I was back there to wash the trays and ciotolona of Kenwood, but I wonder .. and this is great fun too. I can not imagine what a good time, did you see if my face was radiant, serene ... I was having fun and this is the real nice thing, having a passion and have fun. I was relaxed, focused on my work and I did not think of anything else that was not filling the pastry bag and cut the cake .. As I continued in the various pieces of cake I thought, "it is impossible to be all right .." and instead I realized all I could make the entire cake. I looked at her and I swear that was my greatest satisfaction, I never thought a few months ago to do all these things together and I was really proud of me. Among the many things that gives me the kitchen one of these is that it gives me great satisfaction, it makes me proud of myself, not that in other contexts it is not, but it's different in these things ... there is passion, serenity and all my heart. It also taught me patience, that things are much better done quietly, that you should never get a hurry ... and slowly I'm getting better here too.
The thing that made this special cake, however, was the company with which I ate .. my family. I spent a wonderful day with my family, I had lots of fun and I am relaxed, I talked and laughed with the people I love most in the world and I thank him so much because they give me really happy .. this cake was beautiful and good, thanks them!
Ingredients
5 eggs 150g sugar 150g flour
1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
pint of milk
5 egg yolks 170g sugar 70g flour
250ml fresh cream for
Fritters:
3 eggs 70g butter 75g flour
a pinch of salt 100ml water
for the pastry: 125g cream cheese
125g flour 80g butter (a little 'less)
to decorate: 200ml fresh cream
cocoa chocolate chips
First I made the bottom of cake: whisk eggs and sugar for 5 minutes, then add the sifted flour and baking powder. I used a 26cm dish .. and I baked in the oven at 180 degrees for 20 minutes. While I was cooking I made the cream: whip the egg yolks with sugar, then I added the flour and warm milk, then I did a few minutes to thicken the cream on the stove over low heat. Then I made the dough (Even better if you do it the day before): I mixed with my beloved and used kenwood super flour, butter and cheese and I made the dough (to do before I put a little 'in the freezer), then the 'I worked, stretched and I cut a 26cm circle and I cooked at 190 degrees for 10 minutes, even less, I also cooked the scraps, to crumble. For Fritters: bring to a boil in a saucepan butter, water and a pinch of salt, remove from heat and add the flour all at once, then put two minutes on the fire to dry the mixture. I moved into my planet and I added an egg at a time, I recommend the second place only when the first egg is well blended. I transferred the mixture into piping bag and I made the cream puffs on parchment paper directly. I've cooked at 180 degrees convection oven for 20 minutes.
I put 250 ml of cream and I joined forces with the cold custard.
Assembling the cake: I cut the sponge cake in half, I put the circle on a plate of pasta, then I put a layer of cream, then the first half of the sponge, I soaked in the juice, or if you like coffee and I put another thick layer of cream and dark chocolate flakes, then the other disk of cake. Above I covered with a layer of cream, which I also smeared on the edges. I filled the cream puffs and I arranged them on the edge of the pie, then I separated the remaining cream in two, one part I added the cocoa and filled two pastry bag to decorate the surface of the cake. I mounted the other cream to fill all the empty holes on the surface of the dough and then I crumbled and I remained stuck at the edges.
