Raspberry Panettone Christmas Cake http://divinecuisine.recipes/raspberry-panettone-christmas-cake/ http://divinecuisine.recipes/raspberry-panettone-christmas-cake/#comments Tue, 24 Dec 2013 20:08:01 +0000 http://divinecusine.com/?p=1201

Need to say, that this is the most easy cake I’ve ever made. I found this amazing recipe in Jamie’s Oliver “Food Revolution” cookbook and I’ve really liked the idea to make a superior dessert with minimum efforts.

SONY DSC

Here is what Jamie Oliver says about this cake: “Panettone is a brioche-type bread from Italy. It comes in loads of different sizes – I’ve used a large one here but you could easily adapt the ingredients to make a smaller cake. Cakes don’t come much simpler than this one and the nice thing is that, even if it’s assembled roughly and things aren’t exact, it will still look cute. You’ll probably have a bit of panettone left over so keep in mind that it’s brilliant torn up for a layer in trifle or eaten toasted for breakfast”.

I’ve changed a few ingredients (like always =)), but I’m sure you will like it!

Raspberry Panettone Christmas Cake

Raspberry Panettone Christmas Cake

Ingredients:

Instructions:

Place the heavy cream in a large bowl. Add confectioners sugar and vanilla extract, whisk together until the cream forms nice thick peaks. Add sweet condensed milk and mix just to combine. In a small sauce pan combine port and raspberry jam, bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Let to cool. Cut the Panettone cake into approximately 3/4 - 1-inch slices. You should get 3-4 slices. Lie a slice on a plate and drizzle over a few tablespoons of warm raspberry syrup. Reconstruct the Panettone by re-layering the slices of cake with the cream and raspberry syrup equally in between all the layered pieces. Repeat until all the layers and cake have been reconstructed. Spoon the remaining cream over and smooth it gently over the top and sides of the cake. Pat the top with the knife to create little peaks. Sprinkle the toasted almond slices, gently pressing them against the side of the cake so they stick to the cream. Place the raspberries on the top. Finish with a generous amount of dark chocolate shavings.

Creamy Peanut Butter-Chocolate Pie with Toasted Meringue

By voloshyna, December 12, 2013

Creamy Peanut Butter-Chocolate Pie with Toasted Meringue

Ingredients:

Instructions:

First you need to make the crust. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Butter a 10 inch pie platter. In a food processor pulse the crackers and peanuts until finely combine. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and the side of the pie dish. Bake for about 10-12 minutes. Then cool on a rack. Meanwhile, using a microwave, melt the chocolate until smooth and uniform. Spread evenly in the pie crust; set aside until the chocolate sets, 10-15 minutes. For the filling, beat the peanut butter, mascarpone, vanilla extract and milk with a mixer, until smooth. Add the confectioners sugar and mix until incorporate. In a medium bowl beat the heavy cream until soft peaks. Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the peanut mixture until combine, then follow the rest. Spoon into the prepared dust and smooth the top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight. And the last step is making the meringue. Fill a medium saucepan one quarter full with water. Set the saucepan over medium heat, and bring to a simmer. In a medium metal bowl combine egg whites, sugar, and salt. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water to form a double boiler. Whisk constantly until sugar is dissolved, about 3-4 minutes. Whisk the eggs with an electric mixer, until the meringue is thick and glossy, about 8-10 minutes. Using a piping bag pipe the meringue on top of the pie. Lightly toast with the torch.

Chocolate Cake with Soft Meringue and Pecans

Ingredients:

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-by-3-inch springform pan. Whip the soft butter and brown sugar until pale and smooth at medium speed, about 3 minutes. Add egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping the bottom and sides of your bowl if necessary. Add the melted chocolate, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat until combined. In a medium bowl beat the 6 egg whites on high speed until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes. Very gently fold one-third of the egg whites into chocolate mixture. Fold in remaining egg whites and pour batter into prepared pan, and bake 25 minutes. Meanwhile prepare the merengue. Beat remaining 4 egg whites on high speed until frothy. With the mixer running, slowly add the sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form, about 8 minutes. Remove cake from oven. Using a spatula spread meringue mixture on top of cake, sprinkle with chopped pecans. Bake until meringue is lightly browned for 10 minutes. Then lower the temperature to 300 F and bake 10 more minutes. Meringue should become golden, but still soft, airy and weightless. Transfer the pan to a wire rack; let stand 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of the cake to loosen, and release sides of the pan. Let cool, about 30 minutes, before slicing and serving

Just recently I had an experience of making a homemade cream cheese. It tasted similar to “Philadelphia” cheese, but better and it is hard to imagine my delight when I tried it. The taste of this cheese is less fat, a little sour and just melts in your mouth. Encouraged by his success, I decided to use my cream cheese for cooking classic New York cheesecake. This is probably the most American dessert of all, maybe except brownies. For this cheesecake you can use any available to you cream cheese, but if you’ll cook your own cheese at home – I guarantee it will taste a hundred times better.

Preheat oven to 350 F. In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter.  Using small glass press the mixture over the bottom. The crust should be thin and flat. In a large bowl, mix cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Blend in milk, and then mix in the eggs one at a time, mixing just enough to incorporate. Mix in sour cream, vanilla and flour until smooth. Pour filling into prepared crust. Bake in preheated oven for about 15 minutes. Then reduce the oven temperature to 250 degrees F and continue to bake for about another 80-90 minutes.  The center of the cheesecake should be a little runny.  Remove the cake from the oven, and run a knife around the edges of the pan. This procedure prevent cheesecake from cracking as it cools.  Set the cake aside to cool. Once it is completely cooled, cover it with plastic wrap, and place it in the refrigerator for about 8-12 hours.

Cream puffs with fruit and mascarpone cream

Ingredients:

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 390 F. To prepare the dough brewing (that's how we call it in Russian) you need to bring water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the butter and salt, stir until melted. Reduce heat and gradually sieving flour into a saucepan, stirring constantly. The dough should have no lumps. Remove it from heat. Beat the eggs lightly with a fork, add small portions in a dough, mixing well. Cover the baking shit with parchment paper. Put a tablespoon of dough at a distance of approximately 5 cm from each other. Bake 30 minutes in the oven until golden brown. Turn off the oven, but do not open the door for 10 more minutes, so the dough does not fall. Do not open the door during eclairs are baked,  too. Then transfer to a wire rack and let cool 15 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the cream. Beat mascarpone with a cold cream, sugar and vanilla essence until creamy. Cut the top of the eclairs with a knife. Using a pastry bag, fill the void with a cream, put the fruit and cover with a cut top. For the icing, melt the butter in a saucepan, add cocoa, sugar and milk, so the glaze has become quite liquid. Stir well and remove from heat. Pour the finished eclairs with chocolate icing.
