To prepare the original dessert, you must first lay out all the ingredients on the table. The master class of the cake "Bag of money", presented in the article, will help in the preparation of this wonderful product.
Method for making cakes
First you should bake biscuit cakes. This can be done according to your own corporate recipe or use the original one, which will be presented below. Also, biscuits can be purchased at the store in advance, but they will not be so rich and tasty. It is important to note that half of the cakes should be chocolate. To make the cake as close as possible to the original money bag, you should make the biscuits different in shape - reduce each subsequent cake in diameter.
The first thing you need for the dough is flour, eggs and sugar. In a deep bowl, beat 2 eggs with a glass of sugar. Once the volume tripled, add a glass of flour (gradually), the flour should be sieved in advance. All must be thoroughly mixed until a homogeneous mass is obtained. Next, you need to cover the pan with parchment paper and leave the cake in the oven at a temperature of 200 degrees for 15 minutes. For the preparation of chocolate biscuit should be added to all ingredients 2 tbsp. l cocoa powder. Thus, 5 cakes of different diameters should be baked.
As soon as all the cakes are baked, put them in the shape of a cone: chocolate and light biscuits should alternate. The excess parts of the cakes are cut to create the perfect shape and crushed into small pieces.
Making dessert cream
In a bowl, put melted butter, condensed milk, sugar, flavor to taste and chopped pieces of cake. Beat everything thoroughly with a mixer, as a result you will get an oil-condensed cream. They need to grease the cake layers of our cake.
To make chocolate ganache, you will need cream and chocolate. 150 g of cream melts 150 g of any chocolate in 150 g of cream. Once the mixture has a viscous consistency, it should cover the conical shape of the cake. Using a chocolate mass, the defects are removed and the dessert is given the perfect shape, even if it hardens. This can be done with a hot, dry spatula. The cake must then be refrigerated.
Cake decoration using mastic
To decorate the cake "Bag of money" you will need mastic. With its help, you can easily make the necessary shape of the bag. To prepare the mastic, you need to take 450 g of chocolate, 300 g of marshmallows, 2 tbsp. l butter, 6 tbsp. l heavy cream, icing sugar. To start, chocolate is melted in a water bath, and put marshmallows in the microwave for a minute. These ingredients need to be quickly and thoroughly mixed, add butter and heavy cream. To prevent the sticky mass from sticking to your hands, add powdered sugar gradually. Once the mastic has turned into one elastic lump, it should be rolled out on potato starch. If the mastic has become solid and difficult to interact with, then it must be placed in the microwave for several seconds.
Roll out the mastic in the form of a pancake, using a brush we remove the starch from it, then transfer it to the cake. The resulting folds on the cake will create the credibility of the bag, so you do not need to align them. We twist the mastic under the lower cake and use the knife to cut off the excess parts. The pieces are sent to the microwave for a few seconds and rolled out in starch to create another pancake. Next, geometric shapes are cut out of it and patterns are made on the cake. To fasten the parts, water should be used, and in order for the pattern to keep its shape, use foil. As soon as the mastic hardens, the foil can be removed.
This creates a unique cake "Bag of money."
