Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make a three-layer Fairy Tale cake? To make a biscuit, separate the whites from the yolks. Whisk the whites into a fluffy, stable mass. In the process of whipping, add half of the sugar needed for the biscuit.
Step 2:
Separately, with the remaining sugar, whisk the yolks until a fluffy white mass and the sugar dissolves.
Step 3:
Then, gently with a spatula, mix both masses. Do it as carefully as possible to preserve the splendor. Just gently mix the sifted flour into 2-3 sets. The dough should be smooth and homogeneous. Spread the dough on a baking sheet of a suitable size. Put the dough in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
Step 4:
Let the finished biscuit cool down and lie down. Then cut off all the irregularities from the sides. And cut the sponge cake into 3 cakes. The trimmings will be useful to us for the final sprinkling of the cake.
Step 5:
To make the cream, combine milk, sugar and yolks. Mix everything with a whisk until smooth. Put the mass to warm up and, with constant stirring, bring to a boil. Stirring, boil the mass for a couple of minutes.
Step 6:
You should get a smooth yellow mass, similar to condensed milk. Cool the mass.
Step 7:
Keep the butter at room temperature so that it becomes soft. Then beat the butter until white, into a fluffy mass. Add cognac to it.
Step 8:
Then, in small portions, enter the milk-egg mass. Whisk everything and bring it to a smooth smooth cream.
Step 9:
For impregnation, pour sugar with hot water and add brandy. Stir until the sugar dissolves and cool.
Step 10:
Soak sponge cakes with syrup and layer with cream.
Step 11:
Assemble the cake.
Step 12:
Divide the remaining cream into two parts. Add cocoa to one of them and mix well to make a chocolate cream. And leave the other part for decoration and paint with dyes in the necessary colors.
Step 13:
Chop the biscuit trimmings with a blender into crumbs.
Step 14:
Cover the top and sides of the cake with chocolate cream. Sprinkle biscuit crumbs on the sides of the cake, leaving the top of the cake open.
Step 15:
Decorate the cake with colored cream on top. Put the cake in the refrigerator for a few hours so that it gets soaked and freezes. Have a nice tea party!
Eggs for sponge dough can not be beaten for too long, because with prolonged whipping, air bubbles leave the protein, which raise the sponge dough when baking. The surface of eggs properly beaten with sugar (before adding flour) should be lush, slightly yellowish, with lots of air bubbles. If the mass turned out to be white and dense, then such a biscuit will either rise weakly, or it will not rise at all. And baking powder in this case, too, will not save the situation.
Keep in mind that everyone's ovens are different. The temperature and cooking time may differ from those specified in the recipe. To make any baked dish successful, use useful information about the features of ovens !
In order for the oven to have time to heat up to the desired temperature, turn it on in advance (10-20 minutes before the start of cooking).
