Sponge cake with white chocolate and strawberry cream

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Ingredients You will Need: - Eggs, category C1. Room temperature or from the refrigerator – it does not matter. - Sugar. - The flour should be sifted at least twice to make the sponge dough fluffy and airy. - Salt, vanilla – optional. - Baking powder is needed only if you are not sure that you will beat the eggs correctly. The amount of ingredients is designed for a shape 18-20 cm in diameter. Preheat the oven to 170 degrees.

2. Step 2:

   

   Eggs are divided into yolks and whites. You don't have to do this and beat everything at once, but you need a powerful mixer for this. To me, the method with separation seems much faster. I pour salt, vanillin and half of the sugar from the total amount to the egg whites. I beat it up to a dense and stable foam. The mass remains stationary when turning the bowl over.

3. Step 3:

   

   Beat the yolks with the second half of the sugar until lightly whitened. They will increase slightly in size.

4. Step 4:

   

   I combine the yolks with the whites. Do not beat for a long time, just mix well until smooth. These are the beaten eggs that should be of consistency. In this case, the baking powder can not be added.

5. Step 5:

   

   Sift flour with baking powder in two passes. I mix it with careful movements. I don't do it for long, but carefully. There should be no unmixed lumps of flour.

6. Step 6:

   

   This is the dough you get in the end. Very lush, airy, delicate.

7. Step 7:

   

   I bake in a detachable ring 18 cm in diameter, 9 cm high. The bottom should be covered with parchment. I do not lubricate the walls of the mold with anything. I pour out the dough, level it. You can knock on the table a couple of times so that there are no voids. I send it to a preheated 170 degree oven for 30-35 minutes. But it's better to focus on your oven. I check the readiness with a wooden stick – it should come out dry and clean. Do not open the oven for the first 20-25 minutes, otherwise the biscuit will fall off.

8. Step 8:

   

   I let the finished biscuit cool slightly, 10-15 minutes. Then I cut the biscuit out of the ring with a knife and let it cool completely on the grill. I wrap the cooled cake in a bag and put it in the refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours. During this time, the moisture in the biscuit will be evenly distributed, and when cutting the cake will not crumble.

9. Step 9:

   

   And this is such a beautiful, smooth, soft, tender and lush sponge cake turned out! From 3 eggs, a biscuit turned out to be 18 cm in diameter and 6.5 cm high.

10. Step 10:

    

    Porous, with a fine structure inside. The biscuit is not dry, elastic, behaves perfectly in work!

11. Step 11:

    

    For impregnation, I combine condensed milk with boiled water and mix well. Done!

12. Step 12:

    

    For the cream you will need: -eggs, yolk and milk at room temperature -butter with a fat content of 82% -salt-to taste - white chocolate -corn starch can be replaced with flour -gelatin and water for soaking it -sugar-to taste - strawberries weighing 300-350 g .

13. Step 13:

    

    Combine eggs, yolk, salt, sugar, starch and mix well. Then milk room. temperature and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.

15. Step 14:

    

    Remove, add chocolate, mix...

16. Step 15:

    

    Swollen gelatin, stir...

17. Step 16:

    

    Softened or whipped butter. It doesn't matter, it will dissolve anyway. Mixing it up.

18. Step 17:

    

    I put aside a few spoons for the top layer.

19. Step 18:

    

    My strawberries, cut into 4-6 pieces.

20. Step 19:

    

    Add to the cooled cream.

21. Step 20:

    

    Cake assembly. The sides of the mold were laid with an acetate film. In my case, a stationery folder:) Cake-impregnation-whole cream with strawberries-cake-propi tka-cream for the top.

22. Step 21:

    

    I put it in the refrigerator for stabilization. I cleaned up for the night.

23. Step 22:

    

    The next day I take off the ring, the film...

24. Step 23:

    

    And decorate if desired.
