Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

For cake layers:
3 ounces almond paste (1/3 cup)
3/4 cup granulated sugar, divided
1 cup all-purpose flour, divided
1/4 teaspoon plus a pinch of salt, divided
6 large egg yolks
3 tablespoons whole milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon pure almond extract
4 large egg whites at room temperature 30 minutes
For assembling trifle:
1 cup sour-cherry preserves
Sherry syrup
Vanilla custard
For praline almonds:
1/3 cup sliced almonds
1/4 cup confectioners sugar
For topping:
1 cup chilled heavy cream
3 tablespoons medium-dry Sherry
1 tablespoon sugar
Equipment: 2 (15-by 10-inch) 4-sided sheet pans; a 2 1/2 to 3-quart glass trifle or soufflé dish

Steps:

  • Make cake layers:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F with racks in upper and lower thirds. Butter sheet pans, then line bottoms with parchment paper and butter parchment. Dust with flour, knocking out excess.
  • Break up almond paste with your fingers into a food processor. Pulse until coarsely ground, then add 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup flour, and 1/4 teaspoon salt and process until very finely ground.
  • Transfer mixture to a large bowl and whisk in yolks, milk, and extracts.
  • Beat egg whites with a pinch of salt in a bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until they hold soft peaks. With mixer at low speed, add remaining 1/2 cup sugar in a slow stream. Beat at medium-high speed until whites hold stiff, glossy peaks. Fold one third of whites into batter to lighten, then fold in remaining whites gently but thoroughly. Fold in remaining 3/4 cup flour.
  • Divide batter between pans, spreading evenly, and rap pans against counter a couple of times to release any air bubbles. Bake cakes, switching position halfway through, until pale golden and springy to the touch, 16 to 18 minutes. Cool in pans until warm. Invert onto racks lined with parchment. Carefully peel off parchment from tops and cool completely.
  • While cake layers cool, pulse preserves in cleaned food processor until smooth.
  • Assemble trifle:
  • Trim 1/2 inch from edges of 1 cake layer with a serrated knife to make a 14-by 9-inch rectangle, reserving trimmings; with short end nearest you, halve cake lengthwise. Brush top with some of syrup, then spread 1/4 cup preserves over each piece, leaving a 1-inch border all around. Beginning with a short end, roll up each piece tightly to form a log. Repeat with remaining cake layer. (You will have 4 logs total.)
  • Spoon 1 cup custard into bottom of trifle dish.
  • Cut 1 log into 5 rounds with serrated knife, then halve each round. Brush generously with syrup all over. Stand half-moons, curved sides up, around edge of trifle dish (at bottom), arranging them snugly and pressing against side to help them adhere. Tear reserved trimmings into pieces, then dip in syrup and arrange over custard in center of dish.
  • Cut and brush remaining logs in same manner, arranging slices, curved sides down, against side of trifle dish above first layer (there may be some left over).
  • Add remaining custard. Brush any remaining cake slices with syrup and arrange in center over custard.
  • Chill trifle, covered, at least 8 hours.
  • Make praline almonds:
  • Have ready an unoiled sheet of parchment paper or lightly oiled foil.
  • Heat almonds in a dry small heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until almonds are hot but not colored. Add confectioners sugar and cook, stirring and tossing, until almonds are lightly toasted and sugar glaze is caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes (not all sugar on almonds will melt completely). Immediately transfer to parchment, spreading in 1 layer. Cool completely.
  • Make topping just before serving:
  • Beat cream with Sherry and sugar until it just holds soft peaks. Spoon over top of trifle and sprinkle with praline almonds.

SHERRY & ALMOND CHRISTMAS CAKE



Sherry & almond Christmas cake image

Packed with almonds, both ground and whole, and fed with raisiny PX sherry, this is intensely fruity - but not overly rich

Provided by Jane Hornby

Time 3h30m

Yield Cuts into 12 slices

Number Of Ingredients 11

1kg bag mixed dried fruit (not one with cherries)
zest and juice 2 large oranges
150ml PX (Pedro Ximenez) sherry , plus extra for feeding
250g pack butter , softened, plus extra for the tin
250g light muscovado sugar
seeds scraped from 1 vanilla pod
140g plain flour
100g ground almond
2 tsp mixed spice
4 large eggs , beaten
140g whole almond

Steps:

  • Mix the fruit, zest, juice and sherry, and leave overnight to soak. Next day, heat oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3. Butter and double-line a deep, 20cm round cake tin. Wrap the outside with brown paper or newspaper and secure with string, as this will protect the sides from overcooking.
  • Beat the butter, sugar and vanilla seeds together until pale and creamy. Mix the flour, ground almonds and mixed spice together, then tip into the butter mix with the eggs. Beat until combined and smooth. Stir in the whole almonds, fruit and any leftover juices, turn into the tin, then smooth the top and make a dip in the middle. Bake for 1½ hrs.
  • Turn down the oven to 140C/fan 130C/ gas 2, then bake for 1½ hrs more until dark on the top and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean, or with a few damp crumbs clinging to it. Once cool enough to handle, turn onto a cooling rack and peel away the lining paper. Cool completely.
  • Keep the cake well wrapped, then feed once a fortnight with 1-2 tbsp sherry. Poke holes into the cake with a skewer and slowly spoon over the sherry. If you don't have time to do this, this cake is delicious freshly made, and can be covered and decorated as soon as it has completely cooled down.
