Инструкции
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Heat the chocolate couverture in a medium stainless-steel bowl over a pan of simmering water.
- Put the chocolate in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment.
- Add in the soft butter and confectioner's sugar to the couverture.
- Turn the mixer on and stir in the egg yolks one at a time.
- In another stand mixer bowl, whip the egg whites and sugar till almost stiff peaks hold.
- Add in the couverture mix and flour to the egg white mix.
- Whip for a few seconds or possibly till combined.
- Place a 9-inch cake ring on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Scrape the mix into the 9-inch cake ring.
- Smooth the top and bake for 1 hour.
- Cold the cake and use a small knife to ease the torte from the pan.
- Cut the cake horizontally in half.
- Heat the apricot jam in a small pot on medium heat and strain it through a sieve over a small bowl.
- Spread the jam thinly on the bottom portion of halved sponge.
- Sandwich both sponges together.
- Coat the top and sides of cake with the remaining jam.
- The top of the cake now has a layer of jam. This will also help to keep the cake moist and is a base for the chocolate icing.
- Chocolate Icing:Put the sugar and water in a medium pot with a candy thermometer attached to it.
- Bring to a boil and stir in the minced couverture.
- Boil for about 10 min, to 230 degrees F, brushing the sides of the pot with water periodically to prevent crystals from forming.
- Strain the icing through a sieve and pour it onto a marble slab and work the couverture with a palette knife.
- When it begins to hard up and look somewhat lighter in colour, return it to the pot and stir well on medium heat.
- Pour it onto the table and work it again.
- Return it to the pot once more and stir.
- Doing all the above steps with the chocolate will give a shiny glaze to the chocolate icing.
- Use the chocolate icing immediately to glaze the cake.
- Assembly:Put the cake on a cake rack over a baking sheet and pour some chocolate directly from pot onto top of the torte.
- Spread the icing with one stroke of a palette knife over the top.
- Let the chocolate icing dry and serve Sacher Torte with dollops whipped cream!
