Time 5h20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 20

½ cup white sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 cups whole milk
4 large egg yolks
4 tablespoons cold salted butter, cubed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
baking spray
4 large eggs
4 large egg yolks
1 ¼ cups white sugar
2 ¼ cups bleached cake flour, sifted
6 tablespoons salted butter, melted
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup raspberry jam, warmed
2 cups heavy cream
¼ cup powdered sugar
14 ounces marzipan
2 to 3 drops green gel food dye
1 tablespoon sifted powdered sugar, or to taste
1 cup fresh raspberries, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Prepare pastry cream: whisk sugar and cornstarch together in a medium saucepan. Gradually whisk in milk and egg yolks until combined. Turn to medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and whisk in cold butter and vanilla until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on top of custard and refrigerate until cold, about 3 hours or up to 24 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat two 8-inch round cake pans with baking spray and line the bottom of each pan with parchment paper.
  • Bring a medium saucepan filled with 1 inch of water to a simmer over medium heat.
  • Combine eggs, egg yolks, and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Set the mixing bowl over the pot of simmering water. Cook, whisking constantly, until a thermometer reaches 110 degrees F (43 degrees C), 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Return bowl to the stand mixer. Beat with a whisk attachment on high speed until mixture is pale yellow and has tripled in volume, about 3 minutes. Fold in flour until just combined. Fold in melted butter and vanilla until combined. Divide batter evenly between the prepared pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, 20 to 22 minutes. Let cool in pan 10 minutes. Invert onto a wire rack and let cool completely, about 1 hour. Use a long, serrated knife to split each cake layer in half horizontally. Set cake aside until pastry cream is ready to use.
  • Assemble cake: spread the cut side of each cake layer with warm raspberry jam. Place one cake layer, jam-side up, on a cake plate. Spread 1/2 cup pastry cream over cake. Repeat process with two more cake layers, ending with remaining cake layer on top, jam-side down. Place a 4-inch wooden skewer through the middle of the cake to hold layers in place. Reserve remaining remaining pastry cream for another use.
  • Beat heavy cream and 1/4 cup powdered sugar at medium-high speed with an electric mixer in a large bowl until stiff peaks form. Spread a thin layer of whipped cream around side of cake. Mound remaining whipped cream on top of cake, spreading to create a smooth dome.
  • Knead together marzipan and gel food dye until color is evenly distributed. Roll out marzipan in between 2 sheets of parchment paper, to a 15-inch circle; gently remove top piece of parchment paper. Invert marzipan and drape over cake; gently remove remaining parchment paper. Gently press marzipan down over cake, starting at the top of cake and working your way down to create a smooth dome. Cut away any excess and tuck ends of marzipan under cake.
  • Dust top of cake with sifted powdered sugar. Garnish with fresh raspberries.

SWEDISH PRINCESS CAKE (PRINSESSTåRTA)



Swedish Princess Cake (Prinsesstårta) image

This recipe is an amalgam of research from Daring Bakers, Semi Swede, Martha Stewart, with my own pastry elements. It makes one large 9-inch cake. This is an intermediate baking project, which means you need to know the basics of making a successful sponge cake that has no chemical leavens.

Provided by Heather Baird

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 24

4 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup potato flour or (70g) cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup heavy cream
4 egg yolks
3 tablespoons corn starch
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 envelope (.25 oz. powdered unflavored gelatin)
2 tablespoons cold water
2 cups heavy cream, whipped
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup prepared vanilla American buttercream frosting (see notes)
1/3 cup raspberry jam
Powdered sugar for dusting
1 lb. prepared marzipan
Leaf green food color
Ready made rose icing decorations (I used Wilton)
Baker's rose food color
Clear extract (any flavor)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and line a 9-inch round springform pan with parchment paper.
  • Make the sponge: Place the eggs and sugar in a mixing bowl and beat on high speed until pale and thickened. Properly whipped batter should be light and thick, and fall in a ribbon back into the bowl leaving trails of batter on the surface. In a separate bowl, whisk the flours (or cornstarch), baking powder and salt together. Carefully fold the dry mixture into the egg mixture until thoroughly combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 40 minutes or until a toothpick tester comes out clean. Let the cake cool slightly in the pan for a few minutes then run a knife around the edge and remove the springform collar. Peel away the parchment and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Make the custard filling: Stir together the cream, egg yolks, cornstarch, and sugar in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens. Stir in the vanilla and remove from heat. Transfer to a bowl and let cool slightly. Press plastic wrap over the surface of the custard and refrigerate until firm. The chilled custard should be thick and hold in the bowl of a spoon.
  • Make the stabilized whipped cream: Sprinkle the gelatin over the 2 tablespoons of water in a small bowl. Let stand until set. Place the heavy cream in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whip attachment. Set mixer speed to medium and beat until soft peaks form. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and then mix in the vanilla. Heat gelatin in the microwave for 5-7 seconds, or until completely liquid. Gradually add liquid gelatin to whipped cream in a thin stream with the mixer running. After all of the gelatin is added, increase mixer speed to high and beat to stiff peaks. Set aside.
  • Build the layers: Torte the cake into four layers using a serrated knife or cake leveler. The layers will be very thin so do this carefully. Place the bottom cake layer on a plate or cake board. Spread on the raspberry jam and top with a second cake piece. Top the second cake piece with the custard filling (you may have extra custard). Top with a third cake layer. Pile all of the whipped cream on top and smooth into a dome shape using a large spatula. Place the final cake layer on top and press down so that all of the cake's edges are smoothed against the whipped cream and a dome shape is formed. Cover the entire cake with a thin layer of buttercream, smoothing it as much as possible. Refrigerate until the frosting is firm, about 40 minutes.
  • Prep and cover with marzipan: Dust a work surface with marzipan. Knead the marzipan with your hands to soften and place it on the work surface. Add a small amount of leaf green food color to the marzipan and knead in until a consistent green color is achieved. Lightly add powdered sugar as needed to prevent sticking. Roll it to a large circle, lifting to occasionally dust underneath with powdered sugar to prevent sticking. Gently lay the marzipan circle over the top of the cake and use your hands to form the marzipan to the shape of the cake. Trim the excess marzipan from the bottom of the cake using a pizza or pastry wheel. Gently tuck the bottom edges of the marzipan under the cake using the back of a butter knife.
  • Decors: Paint the white Wilton candy roses with a little Baker's Rose food color dissolved in clear extract. Use a kitchen-dedicated art brush with soft bristles so the food color can easily be brushed between the petals.
  • Tint leftover marzipan with a little more leaf green food color, and roll flat on a powdered sugar-dusted work surface. Cut small star-shaped flowers from the marzipan using a fondant cutter. Use leftover buttercream or a dot of corn syrup to attach the star shape to the bottom of the candy rose.
  • Attach the rose to the top center of the cake using buttercream or a dot of corn syrup. Dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar using a small sieve.
  • The cake needs to be refrigerated until serving time and any leftovers need to be refrigerated as well.

PRINSESSTARTA SWEDISH PRINCESS CAKE RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Prinsesstarta Swedish Princess Cake Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by DeBruynC1

Number Of Ingredients 17

For the sponge layers:
4large4 large free range eggs
170g170g caster sugar
120g120g plain flour
butter for greasing the tin
For the Crème Patissière:
11 vanilla pod
450ml450ml milk
120g120g caster sugar
6large6 large free range egg yolks
50g50g cornflour
50g50g unsalted butter, softened
For the filling and assembly:
125g125g fresh raspberries
750ml750ml double cream, whipped to soft peaks
500g500g marzipan (use red or pink food colouring
if you can't find pink marzipan)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 190°C and grease and line a 20cm springform cake tin with parchment paper. 2. Beat together the eggs and the sugar until pale and fluffy. Sift the flour in to the bowl and fold gently into the egg mixture, until you are left with no lumps in the bowl. Pour the mixture into the cake tin. 3. Bake on the middle wrack of the oven for 15-20 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Leave the cake to cool slightly in the tin and then turn it out on to a cooling rack. When completely cool, using a bread knife, divide the cake into three even layers. 4. For the crème patissière, split the vanilla pod in half and scrape out the seeds. Add this to a medium saucepan with the milk and place over a medium high heat. Bring to the boil and then turn off the heat. Scoop out the vanilla pod. 5. While the milk is coming to the boil, place the sugar, cornflour and egg yolks in a large mixing bowl and beat with a whisk until thick and pale. Pour the hot milk into the bowl, whisking quickly and continuously until it is smooth and incorporated. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and place over a medium heat beating continuously until it has thickened. 6. Transfer the crème pâtissière to a cold bowl, create a flat surface with the back of a spatula and wipe the top with a little butter (this will prevent a skin forming). Cover directly with cling film and allow to cool completely. 7. Place one of the cake layers on a cake stand. Use one-third of the crème pâtissière to pipe three circles around the base of the bottom layer, starting from the outside, in. Place the raspberries inside the creme patisserie circles. Mix a spoonful of the cream with a little of the creme patisserie and pipe over the raspberries. Put on the next layer of cake and spread with half the remaining crème pâtissière over the top. Put the last layer of cake in place and spread the remaining crème pâtissière on top. Spread the cream over the top and sides of the cake, creating a smooth dome shape. 8. In a bowl, add a drop of food colouring to the marzipan and knead it until you have an even pink colour. Dust a clean surface with icing sugar and roll out the marzipan until it's about 1mm in thickness. Cover the cake with the marzipan, trimming the excess around the edges. (You can use the excess marzipan to make the little rose on top.) 9. Dust the cake with icing sugar and place a little marzipan rose on top.

PRINSESSTåRTA (PRINCESS CAKE)



Prinsesstårta (Princess Cake) image

Prinsesstårta or Princess Cake is one of the most famous cakes in Sweden, known for its show-stopping layers of sponge cake, pastry cream, and raspberry jam.

Provided by Brontë Aurell

Yield Serves 8-10

Number Of Ingredients 25

¼ stick (25 g) butter, melted and set aside to cool
4 eggs
⅔ cup (120 g) granulated sugar
⅔ cup plus 2 Tbsp. (120 g) all-purpose flour or cake flour
A pinch of salt
1 tsp. vanilla extract, or use the seeds of 1 vanilla bean
2 cups (500 ml) whole milk
1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped
1 whole egg plus 1 egg yolk
½ cup (100 g) superfine sugar
¼ cup (30 g) cornstarch
½ tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. (25 g) butter
1 portion of layer cake bases
1 portion of pastry cream
2¼ cups (600 ml) whipping cream
2 Tbsp. confectioners' sugar, plus more for dusting
½ cup (150 g) good-quality raspberry jam/jelly
7 oz. (200 g) green marzipan (store-bought or homemade and add a drop of green food coloring paste, not liquid)
Pink and green royal icing or marzipan, for the rose and leaves
2 cups (200 g) finely ground almonds (if the grind feels a bit coarse, re-grind it at home a few times in your grinder or processor)
½ (100 g) cup granulated sugar
⅔ (100 g) cup confectioners' sugar
1 tsp. almond extract
1 medium egg white

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare 3 baking sheets, greased and lined with baking parchment.
  • Beat together the eggs and sugar on high speed in a stand mixer or using a hand-held electric whisk. Beat until the mixture reaches ribbon stage-you will be able to see the traces of the mixture when you move the whisk.
  • Use a 8-inch diameter plate to draw three circles on baking parchment. Cut these out and place one parchment circle on each of the three baking sheets. Set aside.
  • Combine the flour, salt and vanilla in a separate bowl. Sift into the egg mixture, bit by bit, carefully folding using a figure-of-eight movement until incorporated. Pour the cooled melted butter down the side of the bowl and fold carefully again, trying not to knock out air.
  • Divide the mixture evenly between the parchment circles on the baking sheets spreading right to the edges of each circle with the back of a spoon. If they go over a bit, don't worry, you can cut these bits off afterwards.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes or until light golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before removing the baking parchment. If the parchment sticks, slightly dampen the paper side with cold water and the paper will come off easily. Trim any untidy edges using a sharp knife.
  • In a saucepan, heat the milk with the scraped out seeds from the vanilla bean.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar and add the cornstarch.
  • When the milk has just reached boiling point, take off the heat and pour one third into the egg mixture while whisking continuously.
  • Once whisked through, pour the egg mixture back into the remaining hot milk. Return to the stove and bring to the boil, carefully. Whisk continuously as the mixture thickens, for just under a minute, then remove from the heat and stir in the salt and butter.
  • Pour into a cold bowl and place a sheet of baking parchment on top to prevent the cream from forming a crust as it cools. The mixture will keep well in the refrigerator for a few days.
  • If using homemade marzipan instead of store-bought, blend the ingredients together in a food processor until you have a smooth marzipan.
  • Roll the mixture into a log and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before using.
  • Whip the cream with the confectioners' sugar until stiff. Spoon two thirds into a separate bowl. Mix the remaining one third of the whipped cream with the prepared pastry cream.
  • Make sure your prepared layer cake bases are completely even in size. If not, trim to fit. Place the bottom layer on your chosen serving plate; you won't be able to move the cake once assembled.
  • Spread the raspberry jam/jelly evenly onto the base layer of the cake, then add half of the pastry cream mixture. Top with the second cake layer. Repeat with the remaining jam/jelly and second helping of the pastry cream mixture. Add the top cake layer.
  • Using a cake spatula, spread three quarters of the remaining stiffly whipped cream in a thick layer on the top and the sides of the cake. Make sure the cake is covered evenly all over to prevent jam/jelly from seeping out. Some people prefer to shape the cream into a dome; I quite like more of a level top on my princess cake, but it is up to you.
  • Next, roll out the green marzipan on a surface lightly dusted with confectioners' sugar or over the top of baking parchment (to prevent sticking). Roll out into a large, even circle, big enough to cover the top and sides of the cake (around 14 inches in diameter).
  • Carefully drape the marzipan on top of the cake and peel back the baking parchment, if using. Pull gently around the edges to bring the marzipan down to cover the cake, taking care not to overstretch. Once the marzipan is smoothed over and touching the base all the way around, trim away the excess. Press the edges gently in at the base.
  • To make the rose decorations, mold the pink royal icing or marzipan into ¾-inch tall teardrop shapes for the inside buds. Then roll out small round petal-shaped pieces of icing around ¾ x ¾-inch and wrap each one around the bud in layers. Cut the base off and fix the roses on top of the cake. Lastly, roll out the green royal icing or marzipan and cut out leaf shapes to fix by the sides of the rose. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.
