gin tonic cake

This cake reminds many of summer and the heat, and is also ideal for celebrations. Creamy, fluffy and refreshing. The Gin Tonic Cake is a fresh treat. It's the perfect accompaniment to a gin tonic, even better in the late afternoon under the sun on the terrace.


It is also excellent with pink gin and in combination with berries.


BAM tip:
the first and most important rule of any pastry chef must be: follow the recipe from start to finish. As simple as this sounds and reads, in practice it usually is not. Sunday afternoon, unannounced guests, closed shops. There are two eggs in the fridge, the recipe calls for three.

The recipe says that the flour must be of a specific type. We don't have exactly that flour at home, so we just use what we have. Often, when it comes to the required ingredients, we decide to "substitute on our own" and end up getting upset because the dessert is not what is shown in the recipe.


The ingredients in the recipe are sufficient to make 8 pieces of cake baked in an 18 cm baking tin.

Ingredients:

  • 2 eggs (size class M)
  • 60 sugar
  • 50 g plain flour
  • finely grated peel of 1 organic lime
  • 70 ml of water
  • 1 packet of lemon sugar
  • 250 g mascarpone cheese
  • 200 g whipping cream
  • 60 ml gin (if using pink gin, add 20 ml more)
  • 100 ml tonic
  • juice and zest of 1 organic lime
  • 2 presses of BAM vanilla paste
  • 1 packet lemon sugar
  • 80 g powdered sugar
  • 3,5 gelatine sheets (three and a half sheets)
  • 20 ml of gin
  • 120 ml tonic
  • 30 g sugar (or to taste)
  • a drop of green food colouring
  • 2 gelatine sheets
  • lime zest or chopped mint leaves, if desired

Instructions:

1. Step Preheat the oven to 180°C. Beat the eggs with the sugar and lime zest on high speed for 10 minutes. Sift the flour over the mixture and fold in with a spatula. Spread the mixture evenly on an 18 cm diameter baking tray lined with baking paper (bottom) and bake for 15 minutes. While the sponge cake is baking, prepare the sugar mixture. Remove the baked sponge cake from the baking tray and cool on a wire rack.
2. Step While the sponge cake is cooling, prepare the cream. Whip the heavy cream and refrigerate. Soak the gelatine in cold water for 5 minutes. Mix the mascarpone cheese smoothly with the other ingredients. Take a few spoonfuls of the cream, heat it and dissolve the gelatine in it. Pour it over the rest of the cream and mix well. Finally, stir in the whipped cream with a spatula.
3. Step Cut the sponge cake into two equal layers. Trim the upper one to size 14 cm in diameter (4 cm less than the diameter of the cake). Place the lower, larger sponge on a tray, moisten it and place it in the ring. Coat it with less than half of the cream and flatten the surface. Place the smaller sponge on top of the cream, moisten it and spread the rest of the cream over the sponge, first filling the rim around the sponge. Level the surface and put the cake in the fridge to chill and firm up.
4. Step Soak the gelatine in cold water for 5 minutes. Heat the gin, tonic water and sugar in a small saucepan until the sugar melts. Add the colouring and stir well. Dissolve the gelatine in the warm liquid and cool the coating until lukewarm. Carefully pour the cooled glaze over the cream and refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours.
5. Step Remove the ring from the cooled cake and decorate as desired.
