IMPERIAL
many months have passed since that May 9th ... but unfortunately I had more time to write.
Fortunately, the recipe was saved on the computer in the middle, Today I found and I decided to finish it anyway because it deserves, e. .. Sorry for the delay ...
Here I am ... to discuss the second part of the celebrations, those of the next day at lunch with the family ... or rather I should say a few hours later, as the night before we went to bed at two in the morning. Of course I started this post after the party, but now it is no secret that I can never be at the computer ... various reasons ...
Again I omit to describe the room to focus only on the description of the cake. This cake, in fact, generally collecting more success ... and some of you already know, although I had decorated, as dictated by the original version, that is, with the green sprig of pineapple on the center of the dome is covered with cream, but this time I changed a lot. Let the description ... the first
INGREDIENTS :
For the base and topping:
a sponge cake to be cut into three or four layers
1 / 2 kg of cream + 2 packs of 250g.
(for use if necessary and this also varies by type of decoration you want) 3 kiwi
1 banana 1 large sprig fresh pineapple with a green
a small jar of peaches in syrup
strawberries (if you like them all 'internal, otherwise just for decoration)
lemon juice, if you prepare the fruit first, to prevent it discolouring.
For the cream:
8 eggs a quart of milk
200gr.
100 grams of sugar.
flour 1 vanilla pod
the grated rind of one lemon
5 spoonfuls of sugar 2 cups
cointreau and half the juice of a orange (if you do it for the kids of course avoid the liquor).
if you want to prepare all the fruit first: clean, peel, slice and add the lemon juice to prevent it from discolouring.
Prepare the cream, syrup, cut the sponge cake into three or four layers (depending on the desired height) from one of these discs, with a round cutter, cut the center, resulting in a small disk that You will have at the center of the tray where you want to wrap the cake. moisten with a little syrup, sistemateci over some banana slices and cover with cream, level the surface and put a few slices of kiwi. Cut sections of the slice of cake "bored" and place them all around the center, you've already trimmed, forming a slope. Wet the slices of bread cake with the syrup and modellatele with hands to form a small cap; Spread with whipped cream and garnish with peach syrup and diced pineapple. Keep it up, alternating layers of custard, cream and fruit to every other layer. If you want to keep the dome shape, I suggest you cut each layer in sections (without removing the center as the first) otherwise put the whole disks, but will be a little more crushed like this that I realized this time. last layer add the fruit and bits of dark chocolate, cover with cream, smoothed with a spatula and then add the cream, always smooth, and at last proceed with all the various seals of cream, various fruits and (as you can pick any number you want).
My preferred embodiment (which is not what made this time) is applied just before serving, at the top of the shell, cut the green tuft dall'ananas.
I recommend you also use a tray with raised edges that let you collect a bit of liquid that may form as the cake is heavy and the fruit, a bit 'squashed by the rest of the ingredients, may issue a little.
This cake I could often for children's parties, replacing the syrup liqueur orange juice.
