Time 5h30m

Number Of Ingredients 30

1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 large eggs (separated into yolks and egg whites)
1 cup superfine or regular sugar (, divided)
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
3 tablespoons water (, cold)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups heavy cream
3/4 cup powdered sugar
3 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
4 tbsp cold water
5 egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
4 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/16 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup heavy cream (whipped) (NOTE: this gets mixed in AFTER the pastry cream has been cooked and chilled)
5 egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar plus 2 tablespoons
4 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1/16 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup heavy cream (whipped) (NOTE: this gets mixed in AFTER the pastry cream has been cooked and chilled. )
1 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon rum extract
2 cups crushed peanuts OR sliced almonds (, lightly salted)
8 inch cake board ((optional))

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and position rack in center of oven
  • Grease inside of cake pans with butter and flour/cakespray and for added measure, line bottom of pans with parchment paper
  • Combine flour with salt in a small bowl and set aside.
  • In a standing mixer, whip the egg whites on medium-low speed until foamy (not stiff) and then add the cream of tartar and continue mixing until the whites become opaque
  • Add 1/2 cup sugar slowly to the side of the bowl and increase the speed of the mixer until soft but not stiff peaks form. Scrape the contents to another bowl and set aside
  • Using the same bowl, which is now empty, add the egg yolks and whip at high speed for 3 to 5 minutes until lightened in color and the mixture "ribbons" when the beaters are raised
  • Slowly add the remaining sugar (ie, 1/2 cup), cold water, and vanilla into the egg yolks and mix until combined on low speed
  • Sift the flour onto the egg yolks in two additions, and stir gently with large spatula to combine.
  • Gently but thoroughly fold in the whipped egg whites
  • Transfer mixture to prepared pans and bake for about 20 to 30 minutes until cooked through; using 3 pans, I only needed 20 minutes.
  • Remove from oven, cool, and then run knife carefully around rim to loosen and invert to wire rack. After fully cooled, wrap and refrigerate or freeze.
  • Note that the heavy cream gets whipped separately and is added to the finished pastry cream AFTER it has been cooked and cooled. I do this just before I'm getting ready to assemble the cake.
  • In a small bowl, add egg yolks and cornstarch. Whisk to blend and set aside
  • In a medium saucepan, add milk, sugar, salt, and vanilla OR chocolate (depending on if you are making the chocolate or the vanilla cream [you will repeat all of these steps to make the other flavor)Heat until small bubbles form (scalded) and remove from heat.
  • Temper eggs by adding small amounts (about 1/2 cup/4 ounces) of the hot milk mixture, a little at a time, while whisking very QUICKLY to prevent the eggs from curdling.
  • After all of the milk mixture has been added into the eggs/cornstarch, return everything to the saucepan and cook over medium heat and stir constantly until thickened. The mixture thickens quickly (depending on how hight heat is)!! Stir fast and furious with whisk!Continue to heat and stir until it has stopped thickening.
  • Cool the pastry cream and refrigerate until ready to use (this is when you do the last step below, adding the whipped cream). TIP: when folding in the whipped cream during next step, rewhip the pastry cream if it has been refrigerated to reduce the chance of lumpiness.
  • When ready to assemble the cake, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form (overbeating will cause it to turn to butter) and then fold together with cooled pastry cream (rewhip the pastry cream first if it has been refrigerated and/or it has firmed up a lot).
  • Repeat all these steps for other flavor (chocolate or vanilla).
  • Add gelatin and water to a small saucepan and heat gently just until the gelatin dissolves. Do not let the mixture set. If the gelatin cools too much you will have lumps or threads of gelatin in your whipped cream.
  • Whip the cream and sugar using a standing mixer until the mixture is slightly thickened.
  • Add the gelatin mixture slowly and then increase speed to high and continue whipping until the frosting is firm.
  • Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and heat over medium-high heat until sugar dissolves and then cool or store in refrigerator.
  • Using a teaspoon or small squeeze bottle, distribute the rum syrup evenly over each of the three cake layers.
  • Place one cake layer on the bottom of an 8- or 10-inch cake board or cake dish (you may spread some frosting between the dish and bottom layer to prevent the cake from shifting)
  • Spread all of the vanilla pastry cream on top on the bottom layer and then top with another layer of sponge cake. Spread all of the chocolate pastry cream on top of middle layer and then top with final layer of sponge cake
  • Frost cake, and add generous amount of crushed peanuts or sliced almonds to the sides of the cake. (if you have refrigerated the frosting (made ahead) you may have to rewhip it.
  • Decorate the top if desired and refrigerate until serving.

ITALIAN RUM CAKE



Italian Rum Cake image

Italian Rum Cake is a delicious 3 or 4 layer cake, which is a tradition for birthdays/special occasions in many Italian families. There are 3 basic parts to the cake; sponge cake layers, pasticciera cream (filling) and (stabilized) whipped cream. Below are the recipes for all three parts. If you make it with 3 layers, omit the whipped cream layer. The sponge cake and pasticciera creams may be made a day ahead. The whipped cream should be whipped just before assembling the cake. Prep/Cook times do not include the 3-4 hour chilling time for the pasticciera cream. PLEASE NOTE: This is an egg leavened cake! The egg yolks and whites MUST be beaten to the correct volume and consistency or the recipe will not work. Also, the other ingredients must be folded in (beaten WHITES folded INTO the YOLK/sugar mixture NOT the other way around) in the order given in the directions or the cake will not turn out. The finished layers will be thin depending on the size of your pan. The smaller the pan, the thicker the layers and the longer the baking time needed. If you are expecting this cake to turn out like a "Génoise or American sponge cake," you will be disappointed as this is not a Génoise sponge recipe.

2 cups heavy cream
1/2-1 teaspoon vanilla
2 teaspoons light corn syrup
2 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons cold water
1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 -2 tablespoon sugar

Steps:

  • Italian Sponge Cake (Pan di Spagna):.
  • Place egg yolks and sugar in a mixing bowl and beat until very thick and lemon colored (mixture should be at least doubled in volume, and thick like frosting - it can take up to 15 minutes (or longer with a hand mixer) of beating to reach the proper volume/texture) .
  • Add flour, a little at a time, gently folding it in until well blended.
  • Gently fold in vanilla and lemon rind (if using it).
  • Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry and fold into cake mixture.
  • Butter and flour an 18-inch square (or a 9 x 13 x 3, or a 11 x 17 x 2-inch half-sheet) cake pan, (make sure pan size will fit your oven; you could also use three 8 or 9-inch layer pans).
  • Pour cake batter into prepared pan(s) and bake at 375°F for 15 to 35 minutes (depending on your oven and the volume of your pans.), or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • Remove cake from oven and turn out (of pan) onto a cake rack to cool completely.
  • Cake can be tightly wrapped and refrigerated overnight, or frozen (up to 3 weeks) for future use.
  • Italian Pastry Cream (Pasticciera Cream): Place sugar, egg yolks, flour, lemon rind (if using it), and vanilla in a sauce pan and mix together well.
  • In a separate sauce pan, scald milk.
  • Very slowly pour milk over egg yolk mixture, in a thin stream, beating constantly with rotary beater.
  • Continue cooking on low heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, until mixture reaches the boiling point.
  • Cook 4 minutes longer, stirring constantly.
  • Remove pan from heat, add butter and mix well.
  • Pour into bowl and let cool, stir occasionally to prevent skin from forming over the top.
  • If using as a filling, chill (with plastic wrap pressed onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming) until very thick (about 3-4 hours).
  • Chocolate Pasticciera Cream: Place sugar, egg yolks flour, and vanilla in a sauce pan and mix together well.
  • In a separate sauce pan, scald milk.
  • Very slowly pour milk over egg yolk mixture, in a thin stream, beating constantly with rotary beater.

  • Pour into bowl and let cool, stir occasionally to prevent skin from forming over the top.
  • If using as a filling, chill (with plastic wrap pressed onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming) until very thick (about 3-4 hours).
  • Rum Syrup*: Mix together the water, sugar, and rum in a small pot.
  • Bring to a boil, and stir until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Remove from the heat and cool before using.
  • *NOTE:If you prefer not to use rum syrup, you may sprinkle/brush cake layers with 1/3 cup rum which has been diluted with 1/4 cup water.
  • Stabilized Whipped Cream - Corn Syrup Method: In a large chilled bowl, with chilled beaters, beat cold cream until it just starts to thicken.
  • Add corn syrup and vanilla from the side of the bowl, and beat until stiff peaks form.
  • Stabilized Whipped Cream - Gelatin Method: Prepare gelatin- Soak plain gelatin in cold water for 5 minutes.
  • Dissolve by placing it in a container over a small pot of simmering water, stir until dissolved.
  • Set aside to cool before using.
  • In a large well-chilled bowl, with well chilled beaters, beat cream with electric mixer.
  • Just before it becomes soft and billowy, slowly add the sugar and vanilla to the whipped cream at the sides of the bowl, continue to whip as you do.
  • Whip the cream until barely stiff.
  • Add melted and cooled gelatin all at once to cream during whipping.
  • Stop whipping when cream forms soft peaks.
  • Finish beating with whisk to adjust consistency to stiff peaks.
  • Use/serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until needed.
  • If peaks have softened during refrigeration, rewhip by hand using a whisk.
  • Rum Cake Assembly Instructions: Slice sponge cake in half to form two 9 x 18-inch layers Using a long, thin bladed knife, cut/split each layer in half lengthwise making four thin 9 x 18-inch layers.
  • Place bottom sponge layer on platter cut side up, sprinkle/brush with about 1/4 of the rum, be careful not to get the cake too wet, or layers will become soggy.
  • Allow sprinkled/brushed rum to soak into the cake for about 5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle/brush remaining sponge layers (on the cut side) evenly with remaining rum.
  • Spread a layer of vanilla pasticciera cream on the first sponge layer.
  • Top the vanilla cream layer with another layer of rum sprinkled sponge cake.
  • Spread a layer of stabilized whipped cream on the second sponge layer.
  • Top the whipped cream layer with another layer of rum sprinkled sponge cake.
  • Spread a layer of chocolate pasticciera cream on the third sponge layer.
  • Top the chocolate layer with the last layer of sponge cake.

ITALIAN RUM CAKE



Italian Rum Cake image

Categories     Cake     Cookies     Rum     Dessert     Chill     Pastry     Simmer     Boil

Yield serves 8 or more

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups whole milk
1 3/4 cups sugar
4 teaspoons cornstarch
Pinch kosher salt
3 large eggs
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
1/3 cup diced candied orange peel
1/4 cup rum
2 cups heavy cream, chilled
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
36 savoiardi cookies (ladyfingers)

Steps:

  • For the pastry cream: Pour the milk into a medium saucepan set over low heat. Whisk in 1/2 cup sugar, the cornstarch, and pinch of salt, and bring the milk to a simmer, just to dissolve the sugar.
  • Whisk eggs in a medium bowl. While whisking, slowly pour the hot milk into the eggs to temper them, then pour the mixture back into the saucepan. Return the saucepan to medium-low heat, and cook, stirring and whisking, until the mixture just simmers and thickens. Immediately remove from the heat and scrape into a bowl to cool. Mix in the chocolate and orange peel. Refrigerate until chilled and thickened, at least 1 hour.
  • For the sugar syrup: Bring 3 cups water and 1 cup of the sugar to a boil in a saucepan. Boil until reduced by about a quarter. Remove from heat, stir in the rum, and let cool completely.
  • When you are ready to assemble the zuppa, whip the cream and remaining 1/4 cup sugar to form soft peaks. Fold half of the whipped cream, along with the cinnamon, into the chilled pastry cream.
  • Make a flat layer with half of the savoiardi in a 9-by-13-inch Pyrex or ceramic dish. Brush with half of the sugar syrup to moisten, then spread half of the pastry cream on top. Top with another layer of savoiardi, and brush on the remaining syrup. Spread the rest of the pastry cream over top in an even layer, then spread with the whipped cream. If you have any savoiardi left, crumble them over the top. Chill several hours, or overnight, to let the flavors blend before serving.

RUM SOAKED SPONGE CAKE



Rum Soaked Sponge Cake image

This recipe turns an average sponge cake into a delicious rum cake! I use a hot milk sponge cake for this and it turns out beautifully. Captian Morgan's Spiced Rum is really delicious in this. If you do increase the amount of rum (which can give you a buzz!) increase the sugar a bit too. Enjoy!
