Provided by David Pope

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 15

⅔ cups unsalted butter
¾ cups sugar
2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg yolk
1/4 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 orange (zested)
1 ¼ cups whole milk
1 egg yolk
1 egg
⅓ cup sugar
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 tbsp cornstarch

Steps:

  • Bring the milk to a boil in a medium saucepan along with the orange zest.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, mix together the vanilla extract, egg, extra egg yolk, flour, cornstarch, and sugar. It should form a paste.
  • Add the milk mixture to the mixing bowl and stir thoroughly to combine.
  • Pour back into the saucepan, place back over heat and continue to whisk. Bring back to a boil and simmer for 3-4 minutes or until slightly thickened, whisking the whole time.
  • Strain through a sieve into a sealable container and chill in the fridge.
  • Mix the flour and baking powder together in a large mixing bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the butter and sugar until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the eggs (not the extra yolk) one at a time, continuing to beat.
  • Gradually add the flour mixture and mix until smooth and completely combined.
  • Transfer to a piping bag.
  • Grease and line an 18-cm (7 inch) cake tin. Lightly dust the base and sides of the tin with flour after lining with baking parchment.
  • Take the piping bag and carefully pipe a spiral of gateau mix to completely cover the base of the tin. Pipe a single circle around the outside of the tin to a height of just over 2 centimeters (1 inch).
  • Fill the center of the tin with the pastry cream, smoothing down evenly.
  • Pipe the remaining cake mix over the top of the pastry cream to seal, making sure the top is smooth and even. Place in the fridge to chill for at least 15 minutes, and preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
  • Take the tin out of the fridge.
  • Combine the remaining egg yolk and 1/4 cup of milk, whisking slightly to mix evenly. Brush evenly over the top of the cake and use a fork or knife to score a faint diamond pattern on top. Place in oven and bake for 45 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool. Serve by itself or with a fruit jam!

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 1h20m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 3/4 cups cake flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon pure almond extract
1/3 cup sour cherry preserves
1/4 cup sliced almonds, optional
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Place an oven rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Butter a 10-inch cake pan or spring-form pan. In a mixer with a whip attachment, beat the butter until creamy. Gradually beat in the sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract.
  • Sift the cake flour, salt, and baking powder together and use a rubber spatula to fold the dry ingredients into this butter mixture until a soft dough forms and no white streaks of flour remain. Spread half the batter evenly in the bottom of the prepared pan. Stir the almond extract into the cherry preserves. Spoon the cherry preserves over the batter, spreading it within 2 inches of the border.
  • Drop the remaining batter by large spoonfuls or pipe it with a plain tip over the preserves. Spread the batter carefully over the jam to the edge of the pan. Sprinkle with sliced almonds, if using.
  • Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a bamboo skewer inserted into the cake comes out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack. Unmold the cake and dust with confectioners' sugar.

GATEAU BASQUE



Gateau Basque image

Basque settlers first arrived in Nevada during the Gold Rush of the mid-1800s. Originally from the Pyrenees region of France, they brought with them a treasured recipe called gateau Basque, a tart that is traditionally filled with either pastry cream or black cherry jam. Martha's recipe combines the best of both worlds and calls for pastry cream and brandy-soaked cherries. She made this recipe on "Martha Bakes" episode 710.

Yield Makes one 9-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
Pinch of kosher salt
2 cups whole milk
4 large egg yolks
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon brandy
1/2 cup dried tart cherries
2 tablespoons brandy
Unbleached all-purpose flour, for work surface
Martha's Pate Brisee
1 large egg, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Make the pastry cream: Whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan. Whisk together milk and egg yolks in a glass measuring cup. Add milk mixture to the saucepan, along with butter. Cook over medium heat until mixture comes to a simmer. Continue to cook until it comes to a boil. Let boil 1 minute. Remove from heat and add vanilla and brandy.
  • Strain pastry cream through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the pastry cream to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours or up to 2 days. Just before using, whisk until smooth.
  • Make the cake: Combine cherries and brandy in a small bowl; let soak 1 hour.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk pate brisee to a 13-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. Fit into a 9-inch round fluted tart pan with a removable bottom leaving edges to overhang. Freeze 15 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place pastry cream in a large bowl. Stir with a rubber spatula to loosen. Pour into chilled crust, spreading evenly with an offset spatula. Drain cherries and scatter evenly over pastry cream.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out remaining disk of pate brisee to a 13-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. Score surface in a diamond pattern with the edge of a ruler. Lightly brush overhanging edge with egg and top with scored pastry. Press to seal and trim dough along edge of tart pan. Lightly brush top with egg wash. Place tart pan on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until golden brown, about 1 hour 25 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool 20 minutes on a wire rack. Remove tart ring and cool completely on rack. Serve at room temperature.
