Instructions
1
Orange Chiffon Cake
2
Preheat the oven to moderate 325Ā°F. Line the bottom of an 9-inch spring form pan
with parchment paper. Do not grease the sides of the pan.
3
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour and baking powder. Add in all
but 3 tablespoons of sugar, and all of the salt. Stir to combine.
4
In a small bowl combine the oil, egg yolks, orange juice, extract, and orange
zest. Whisk thoroughly. Combine with the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly for
about one minute, or until very smooth.
5
Put the egg whites into a stand mixer, and beat on medium speed using a whisk
attachment on a medium speed, until frothy. Add cream of tartar and beat on a
medium speed until the whites hold soft peaks. Slowly add the remaining 3
tablespoons sugar and beat on a medium-high speed until the whites hold firm and
form shiny peaks.
6
Using a grease free rubber spatula, scoop about ā of the whites into the yolk
mixture and fold in gently. Gently fold in the remaining whites just until
combined.
7
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes or until
toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Removed the cake from the
oven and allow to cool in the pan on a wire rack.
8
To unmold, run a knife around the sides to loosen the cake from the pan and
remove the spring form sides. Invert the cake and peel off the parchment paper.
Refrigerate for up to four days.
9
Pastry Cream Filling
10
Pour the milk, vanilla, and salt into a heavy sauce pan. Place over medium-high
heat and scald, bringing it to a near boiling point. Stir occasionally.
11
Meanwhile, in a stand mixer add the cornstarch and sugar. Whisk to combine Add
the eggs to the sugar and cornstarch and whisk until smooth. When the milk is
ready, gently and slowly while the stand mixer is whisking, pour the heated milk
down the side of the bowl into the egg mixture.
12
Pour the mixture back into the warm pot and continue to cook over a medium heat
until the custard is thick, just about to boil and coats the back of a spoon.
Remove from heat and pass through a fine mesh sieve into a large mixing bowl.
(Mine wasnāt lumping and didnāt need straining.) Allow to cool for ten minutes
stirring occasionally.
13
Cut the butter into four pieces and whisk into the pastry cream a piece at a
time until smooth. Cover the cream with plastic wrap, pressing the plastic wrap
onto the top of the cream to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the
refrigerator for up to five days.
14
In a small dish, sprinkle the gelatin over the water and let stand for a few
minutes to soften. Put two inches of water into a small sauce pan and bring to a
simmer over a medium heat.
15
Measure Ā¼ cup of the chilled pastry cream into a small stainless steel bowl that
will sit across the sauce pan with the simmering water, without touching the
water. Heat the pastry cream until it is 120Āŗ. Add the gelatin and whisk until
smooth. Remove from the water bath, and whisk the remaining cold pastry cream in
to incorporate in two batches.
16
In a stand mixer, fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream until
it holds medium-stiff peaks. Immediately fold the whipped cream into the pastry
cream with a rubber spatula.
17
Candied Orange Peel and Zumquats
18
Using a citrus zester or vegetable peeler, shred long strips of orange peel.
Slice kumquats into rounds. Place citrus strips and kumquats in a medium
saucepan. Cover with cold water, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Drain;
repeat two more times with fresh water.
19
Place sugar in a clean saucepan with 1 Ā½ cups water; stir to combine. Bring to a
boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar has dissolved, about 3
minutes.
20
Add the citrus strips and kumquats to the boiling syrup; reduce heat, and simmer
until translucent, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat; let cool in syrup, at
least 1 hour. Remove from syrup when ready to use.
21
White Chocolate Ganache
22
Put the white chocolate into a medium microwave safe bowl. Heat the pure cream
in a small saucepan or microwave safe dish until it boils. Be very careful as
you do not want it to burn to the bottom of the pan, or rise up and boil over.
23
Pour the boiling cream evenly over the white chocolate, then begin stirring with
a fork. The mixture will be lumpy and stickyājust keep going and watch as the
white chocolate melts. There will be a point where the heat is all but gone from
the mixture and you feel you need a little bit more to get across the line.
24
Place the bowl in the microwave oven for a few seconds. Then take it out and
resume mixing, but this time with a whisk. Continue mixing until all lumps of
chocolate are gone and you are left with a smooth, thick, viscose mixture.
25
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside. Leave the ganache to set for 24
hours. I kid you notāif you want to avoid heartache, leave the ganache for a
full day.
26
When you return to use it, it will be thick like butter and can be used to fill
a cake and cover it. Heat your palette knife under hot water and run it over the
surface of the ganache to achieve a perfectly smooth look.
27
Fraisier Assembly
28
Line the sides of a 9-inch spring form pan with plastic wrap. Do not line the
bottom of the pan. Cut the cake in half horizontally to form two layers. Fit the
bottom layer into the prepared spring form pan.
29
Moisten the layer evenly with the simple syrup. When the cake has absorbed
enough syrup to resemble a squishy sponge, you have enough. Hull and slice in
half enough strawberries to arrange around the sides of the cake pan. Place the
cut side of the strawberry against the sides of the pan, point side up forming a
ring.
30
Pipe cream in-between strawberries and a thin layer across the top of the cake.
Hull and quarter your remaining strawberries and place them in the middle of the
cake. Cover the strawberries and entirely with the all but 1 tbsp. (15 ml) of
the pastry cream.
31
Place the second cake layer on top and moisten with the simple syrup. Lightly
dust a work surface with confectionersā sugar and roll out the almond paste to a
10-inch (25 cm) round 1/16 inch (1.5 mm) thick.
32
Spread the remaining 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of pastry cream on the top of the cake
and cover with the round of almond paste. Cover with plastic wrap and
refrigerate for at least 4 hours. To serve release the sides of the spring form
pan and peel away the plastic wrap. Serve immediately or store in the
refrigerator for up to 3 days.
