splurge cake flavour

The Splurge Cake is another traditional dessert in a modern dress. It consists of cocoa and light sponge cake, walnut mousse and cottage cheese cream. The cake is light, juicy and flavourful, and it looks beautiful. We recommend you give it a try, and who knows - it might be on your table instead of a traditional cake next holiday.

The recipe for the Splurge Cake is part of the third BAM recipe book: Modern Desserts.

To prepare the cake, you will need two round rings with a diameter of 18 cm and 16 cm. In addition to the preparation time, we also need to take into account the freezing time: 2 hours and 12 hours.

The cake can be served with:

Ingredients:

  • 50 g eggs (1 M egg)
  • 30 g crystal sugar
  • 30 g plain flour
  • 65 g of water
  • 10 g vanilla sugar
  • 60 g ground walnuts
  • 50 g milk
  • 20 g homemade rum
  • 15 g crystallised sugar
  • 1 gelatine leaflet
  • 60 g sweet whipping cream
  • 50 g milk
  • 2 gelatine leaves
  • 130 g cottage cheese
  • finely grated peel of 1 organic lemon
  • 2 squeezes of BAM vanilla paste
  • 50 g powdered sugar
  • 220 g sweet whipping cream

Instructions:

1
Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Whisk the egg and sugars on the highest speed for at least 5 minutes. Mix the flour with the cocoa, sift over the egg mixture and fold in gently with a spatula. Spread the mixture evenly on a 16 cm diameter baking tray lined with baking paper (bottom) and bake for 7-8 minutes. After a few minutes, remove the sponge cake from the baking tray and cool on a wire rack.
2
Follow the same procedure for the light sponge cake. Cut off the thin top layer of the cooled sponge cake.
1
Whip the sweet cream to soft peaks and refrigerate. Soak the gelatine in cold water for 5 minutes. Bring the milk to the boil with the rum and sugar, then strain and dissolve the strained gelatine in it. Pour the boiled milk over the nuts and mix well. When the mixture has cooled to lukewarm, stir in the whipped cream with a spatula in two stages.
2
Place a sheet of plastic food foil on the base, place a 16 cm diameter ring on top and wrap the foil tightly around it. Place a dark sponge cake on the bottom and moisten it with half of the sugar solution; spread evenly with the walnut mousse. Cover the light sponge with the walnut mousse, press gently with your hands against the cream and moisten with the remaining sugar solution. Place in the freezer for two hours.
1
Whip the sweet cream to soft peaks. Soak the gelatine in cold water for 5 minutes. Mix the curd smoothly with the sugar, lemon zest and vanilla paste. Bring the milk to the boil and dissolve the strained gelatine in it. Pour it over the cottage cheese cream and mix well. Fold in the whipped cream with a spatula in two steps.
1
Line the base with plastic food foil, place an 18 cm diameter ring on the foil and wrap the foil tightly around the ring. Separate the frozen core from the ring and place it in the centre of the larger ring.
2
Stuff the cottage cheese cream into the piping bag. First fill the edge around the centre, then pipe the cream to the top of the ring. Using a palette knife, smooth the surface and freeze the cake for 12 hours.
1
Soak the gelatine in cold water for 5 minutes. Bring the sugar, water and condensed milk to the boil in a small saucepan and cook until the syrup reaches 103 °C. Remove from the heat, add the strained gelatine and stir until it melts. Pour over the chocolate, wait one minute and blend smooth with a stick blender. Strain the glaze and cover with plastic food film so that it is touching. Place in the fridge.
1
Heat the glaze to 30-32 °C, stir and strain. Separate the frozen cake from the ring, place it on a narrower dish or larger glass and pour over the cake. Allow the excess icing to run off and remove any excess icing hanging from the cake; then, using two palette knives, transfer the cake to a base, decorate as desired and place in the fridge to thaw slowly.
