Therefore, in this article we will give some ideas on how to replace cheese made from buffalo milk. Externally, American Whoopi cookies look like a French macaroon dessert. What should the cake look like? We will also give tips on decorating this "highlight of the program."
Cake "Buy Pie". Recipe, Dough Ingredients
Cookies that inspired American culinary specialists to create a cake, consists of two pieces of chocolate biscuit. They are joined together by curd cream. It’s easy to guess that the “Buy Pie” cake offers a recipe for making more cakes. Consequently, there will be more than one layer. We will talk about what to make cream for the cake “Buy pie” (pie in English means “pie”). In the meantime, stock up on ingredients for cakes. We should make a biscuit dough. Therefore, we need wheat flour (three hundred and fifty grams), butter (250 g), regular sugar (210 g) and vanilla (bag), two eggs, half a glass of milk, a bag of baking powder, soda and salt on the tip of a knife. Our cakes will be chocolate. Therefore, we prepare one hundred grams of cocoa powder and 130 g of coffee. We will extinguish soda with lemon juice.
Make the dough
American chefs, unlike European ones, do not like to bother. The step-by-step recipe for the “Buy Pie” cake is very simple. The whole process will take you a little over an hour. Those who have not yet cooked biscuit dough are encouraging: it is also very simple. The main thing is to strictly follow the instructions. So, in a deep bowl, we mix the loose ingredients. Sift the wheat flour, add cocoa powder, salt and a baking powder for the dough to it. The oil should be soft. Note, not melted, namely room temperature. Beat it with a mixer to a creamy mass. We introduce sugar in it - regular and vanilla. Then add the eggs. We translate the mixer to the minimum speed. Pour in the milk. At this stage, put a small amount of water to boil to make coffee. Pour in the butter and egg mass flour with cocoa. Knead. And pour half a glass of espresso close to boiling. The dough should turn out a thick sour cream consistency. Culinary experts call it "like a pancake."
Bake cakes
The “Buy Pie” cake offers a three-layer recipe. To get the right amount of cakes, the dough should be divided into 3 parts. This is easier than baking a cake, and then cut it into three longitudinal layers. But to save time (and gas in the oven), you can stop on the second option. So, we cover the round and preferably detachable form with parchment paper. Pour a third of the dough or the entire mass. In the latter case, we must correctly calculate the cooking time. It may well be that the surface begins to burn, and the middle remains damp. We put the form with the dough on a baking sheet, and that is in the oven. “Whoopi” cookies bake for about six minutes at a temperature of one hundred and sixty degrees. But then - small round circles with a diameter of five centimeters. If we bake a cake, even from a third of the dough, we need to increase both the temperature and the baking time. Set the oven one hundred and eighty degrees. We wait about half an hour. Readiness check with a match match. When it comes out of the dough dry, then ready. We get cakes and cool them.
Cream: how to replace mascarpone
It is said that American Amish Protestants came up with a Whoopi Pie cake recipe in the nineteenth century. Mascarpone cream in those days was not yet widely used in the New World. Amish made a layer for chocolate cakes of fat cottage cheese, cream and powdered sugar. We can follow suit. But this cream can behave unpredictably and "swim". To prevent this from happening, we will try to fix its consistency with edible gelatin. Another option is cream cheese without flavoring. You can make it sweet by mixing condensed milk and cream.
Cream recipe
Four hundred milliliters of very chilled cream (33% fat) are mixed with half a glass of sifted icing sugar. Beat until a dense mass is obtained. In a spoon we introduce two hundred and fifty grams of mascarpone cheese. In the case of the classic cream recipe, we push the cottage cheese through a sieve. Knead it with icing sugar. Add pre-whipped fat cream. We coat the cakes with the resulting cream. To decorate the cake, "Buy Pie" recipe offers chocolate icing. But first, the cake should stand in the refrigerator for an hour or two. For glaze, we heat a chocolate bar in a water bath. Smear them the surface of the cake.
