Ingredients
Method
Almond sponge cake layers
- Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites; then combine the egg yolks with 90g (3.20 oz) of sugar, and whip them until fluffy and lightened in color.
- Pour the vegetable oil followed by milk into the mixture, and whip it thoroughly one more time.
- As for the egg whites, start whipping them on a medium speed, too; then, once the mixture becomes bubbly, slowly pour in the sugar.
- Once all the sugar has been added, switch on to the highest mixing speed possible, and whip the mixture to stiff peaks.
- Sift the dry ingredient, and mix them all together.
- Fold the egg yolks into the egg whites; then add the dry mixture, and mix it all together.
- Bake the biscuit at 175-180C (347-356F) for 25-35 minutes. Do not open the oven until it’s been 25 minutes.
- Let the sponge biscuit cool, and then wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about 6-8 hours.
Syrup
- Whip the cream.
- Combine the apricot puree with the powdered sugar, then fold in the whipped cream. Mix until smooth.
- Melt the gelatin (for 10 seconds). Take a little amount of the cream mixture, and add it to the gelatin; then mix well, and pour it into the main cream mixture. Transfer the mixture to a cake ring, and place it in the freezer to set.
Confit
Combine the sugar, pectin and agar. Put the fruit puree into a saucepan, and place it on heat. Once the mixture starts steaming lightly, sprinkle the dry ingredients on top. Cook for 3-4minutes, stirring constantly. Then pour the confit mixture over the mousse, and place the cake ring in the freezer for it to set.
