Classic recipe (GOST)
Ingredients: six eggs, one hundred and fifty grams of sugar, five tablespoons of flour, one spoon of starch. For syrup: one hundred eighty grams of water, one hundred grams of sugar. For truffle crumbs: one hundred eighty grams of sugar, eighty grams of water, half a spoonful of lemon juice, one spoonful of butter, two tablespoons of cocoa. For Charlotte cream: two hundred and ten grams of butter, one hundred eighty grams of sugar, one yolk, one hundred and twenty grams of milk, as well as a bag of vanilla sugar, one spoonful of cognac, one spoonful of cocoa.
Making biscuit
The "truffle" cake, the recipe of which we are considering, begins with the preparation of cakes. To do this, first, the proteins are separated from the yolks. One hundred grams of sugar is whipped with yolks into a steep mass. Beat the whites with the rest of the sugar until a white foam forms. The two mixtures are gently mixed, flour is added with starch and mixed with very light movements from the edges to the center. The finished dough is poured into a mold covered with parchment paper and baked for forty minutes. The cake is cooled for eight hours so that it does not crumble during cutting.
Cooking Charlotte Cream
Yolk, sugar and milk are mixed. This mixture is put on fire and brought to a boil, stirring constantly. Then they cook for five minutes, during which time large white bubbles should appear. Then put sugar, turn off the stove and cool, stirring occasionally. We prepare further truffle cream for the cake. To do this, beat the softened butter, gradually adding cold syrup to it. Then they put cocoa, cognac and continue to whisk. The cream should be smooth, thick, even and shiny.
Making syrup and truffle chips
A syrup is prepared as follows: sugar is put in a bowl of water and boiled. Then the syrup is cooled. Then they start to cook the crumb. To do this, boil water and sugar for ten minutes, periodically removing the resulting foam. A few minutes before cooking, add lemon juice. The dishes are placed in ice water and cooled, stirring occasionally. Then they beat the mass with a mixer until it thickens and becomes white. Then add cocoa and butter. The baby is rubbed on a coarse grater. It can be replaced with grated chocolate.
Chocolate Chip Making
Melt the chocolate over low heat and pour it onto a baking sheet. Then it is leveled so that its thickness is three millimeters. This mass must harden. Only after that they hold chocolate over the spoon, making the so-called "curls" to decorate the cake.
Cake assembly
Then they start to collect the Truffle cake. To do this, the cake is cut into two or three parts, each of which is then impregnated with chilled syrup, thoroughly smeared with cream. Then they form a cake, coat it with cream from all sides, crush it with truffle crumbs or chocolate “curls”. Sweet dessert is ready!
