I’ll talk/ | ||
00:00:01:26 00:00:02:27 |
[Towards M] Can I talk about the topic? | ||
00:00:02:27 00:00:04:46 |
I’ll tell you about my favourite cake and how to make it/ | ||
00:00:04:46 00:00:06:17 |
The gingerbread heart. | ||
00:00:06:17 00:00:06:21 |
|||
00:00:06:21 00:00:08:02 |
No. My favourite cake, the one I like most, of which I’m a fan. | ||
00:00:08:02 00:00:09:04 |
L/ | ||
00:00:09:04 00:00:09:18 |
|||
00:00:09:18 00:00:10:39 |
Ah, yours. | ||
00:00:10:39 00:00:10:46 |
|||
00:00:10:46 00:00:15:16 |
You know what cake I’m such a fan of? It’s a chocolate cake. | ||
00:00:15:16 00:00:16:35 |
So, how do you start making it? | ||
00:00:16:35 00:00:20:47 |
Of course I first need a cake bottom that has chocolate in it. That means/ | ||
00:00:20:47 00:00:23:30 |
You know, sponge cake batter, do you know that? | ||
00:00:23:30 00:00:27:20 |
Mixed, R-Ü-H-R [from rühren, lit. to stir or to mix] batter. Okay, what is that exactly? | ||
00:00:27:20 00:00:31:23 |
Typically, you beat sugar and egg yolk together. | ||
00:00:31:23 00:00:34:08 |
I put the flour into a sieve, I have already prepared that for sieving. | ||
00:00:34:08 00:00:38:03 |
The flour may not have any lumps. That’s why you sieve it and then mix it in. | ||
00:00:38:03 00:00:42:25 |
When the mixture is good and ready, you add two or three tablespoons of cocoa powder. | ||
00:00:42:25 00:00:44:02 |
Then you mix it well. | ||
00:00:44:02 00:00:47:07 |
Then I take ice cream, no, no ice cream. | ||
00:00:47:07 00:00:51:25 |
I take the egg white that I have already beaten stiff. | ||
00:00:51:25 00:00:53:31 |
You add it to the batter and mix it all together, mix it by hand. | ||
00:00:53:31 00:00:55:02 |
Don’t use the mixer but fold it in gently by hand. | ||
00:00:55:02 00:00:57:31 |
Otherwise the stiffened egg white would collapse. To prevent that from happening, you have to fold it in like this. | ||
00:00:57:31 00:00:59:29 |
That’s how you handle beaten egg whites. | ||
00:00:59:29 00:01:04:24 |
When the batter is ready, you put it in the oven for about 20 minutes at 200 degrees [Celsius]. | ||
00:01:04:24 00:01:06:43 |
And then you start. Um. | ||
00:01:06:43 00:01:11:35 |
You could take M-A-S-C-A-R-P-O-N-E or curd. | ||
00:01:11:35 00:01:15:47 |
But it actually doesn’t matter. Take crème fraîche, curd or mascarpone. | ||
00:01:15:47 00:01:17:46 |
I usually take curd. I put it in the bowl/ | ||
00:01:17:46 00:01:18:19 |
What is that? Do you mean ‘quark’ [curd]? You sign CURD? Weird. | ||
00:01:18:19 00:01:21:16 |
Curd. Q-U-A-R-K [curd]. I sign CURD. Sorry, CURD is a family sign. | ||
00:01:21:16 00:01:23:11 |
|||
00:01:23:11 00:01:28:43 |
I stir the curd. Then I melt the chocolate. | ||
00:01:28:43 00:01:31:33 |
I take dark and milk chocolate. | ||
00:01:31:33 00:01:33:37 |
Using only milk chocolate would be too sweet, I don’t like that. | ||
00:01:33:37 00:01:36:12 |
That’s why I take half of each kind and mix them. | ||
00:01:36:12 00:01:37:36 |
I add a little butter and let it all melt. | ||
00:01:37:36 00:01:40:44 |
When it’s done, nice and creamy, I pour it in the bowl and stir vigorously. | ||
00:01:40:44 00:01:41:19 |
To the curd? | ||
00:01:41:19 00:01:43:19 |
Yes, I add it to the curd. You stir them together. | ||
00:01:43:19 00:01:43:23 |
|||
00:01:43:23 00:01:46:44 |
Then I add heavy cream and mix it all well. | ||
00:01:46:44 00:01:49:29 |
When it’s done, I put the mixture in the fridge. | ||
00:01:49:29 00:01:53:17 |
Then I prepare the chocolate. I grate it into fine crumbs. | ||
00:01:53:17 00:01:55:38 |
That takes a while, but eventually it’s done. Great. | ||
00:01:55:38 00:01:58:42 |
Then the cake bottom is done and I/ | ||
00:01:58:42 00:02:01:39 |
I take it out of the oven and let it cool off. Then/ | ||
00:02:01:39 00:02:03:23 |
Is it light-coloured? The dough is light, isn’t it. No, dark. Right, you added cocoa powder. | ||
00:02:03:23 00:02:04:14 |
|||
00:02:04:14 00:02:07:19 |
No, dark. Because of the cocoa powder. Yes, exactly. That’s why the bottom is already dark. | ||
00:02:07:19 00:02:08:11 |
|||
00:02:08:11 00:02:12:39 |
The cake bottom is quite thick, that’s why I cut it in half horizontally and by that I get two cake layers. | ||
00:02:12:39 00:02:20:34 |
I take one layer, good. On it, I spread all of the mixed dough. When that is done/ | ||
00:02:20:34 00:02:22:24 |
Yes, actually I do that in a high-sided cake pan to prevent the mixture from flowing out. The pan keeps it together. | ||
00:02:22:24 00:02:25:09 |
Yes, the cake pan. | ||
00:02:25:09 00:02:26:08 |
|||
00:02:26:08 00:02:29:09 |
So, the cake bottom is in there, I put the mixture on top, and on top of that I carefully place the second layer of the cake. | ||
00:02:29:09 00:02:34:04 |
Lastly, I like to use G-E-L-A-T-I-N-E [gelatin]. That makes it hard. | ||
00:02:34:04 00:02:36:14 |
But there is some danger of contracting BSE because of the gelatin. | ||
00:02:36:14 00:02:36:19 |
What? BS? | ||
00:02:36:19 00:02:37:03 |
G-E/ | ||
00:02:37:03 00:02:38:09 |
Danger of B-S-E. Because of the G-E-L-A-T-I-N-E. That means/ | ||
00:02:38:09 00:02:41:16 |
|||
00:02:41:16 00:02:47:22 |
Well, gelatin is clear. It comes from cows. I don’t know exactly how it is made and what it consists of. | ||
00:02:47:22 00:02:50:22 |
If you add it, it thickens and stabilises the cake so nothing flows out. | ||
00:02:50:22 00:02:54:32 |
I use that last. I add one layer of that on top and after that the cake is done. | ||
00:02:54:32 00:02:56:44 |
You can spread what is left over on top and all around the cake, so that it looks nice. | ||
00:02:56:44 00:02:59:07 |
Yes, you can put it all over the cake. | ||
00:02:59:07 00:03:00:09 |
Then it’s ready. Now I put the cake in the fridge for a while. | ||
00:03:00:09 00:03:02:13 |
|||
00:03:02:13 00:03:05:49 |
After two or three hours it’s ready and you take off the cake pan. | ||
00:03:05:49 00:03:11:21 |
You take off the cake pan and sprinkle the grated chocolate on top. Nice and generous, so that it covers the cake. And that’s it. | ||
00:03:11:21 00:03:13:41 |
You could put candles on it or add other decorations. | ||
00:03:13:41 00:03:18:06 |
And that is it. It’s quite simple, right? |
