This is a chocolate chiffon cake with an amazingly delicate texture and the fabulous caramel whipped cream.
I made the caramel whipped cream and it curled on me and don't know why but I will try it another time.
I decided to make a small change and make mousseline w/ Mocha and had some caramel leftover and drizzled some on top before putting on the Mousseline with Mocha Butter Cream.
I also made two 6" by 3 "high pans.
they both measured 2 3/4 inches high..
Prepared the springform pan and made my own long nail and also the paper preachment..
Made the batter and poured it in the pan to bake...
After 45 minutes the cake was ready to cool.....
put the cake upside down......
when cooled flipped it over, toke the nail out/measured it was 2" 3/4 inches high..
Made my Mousseline with some melted chocolate and 1/2 tsp of espresso powder...
chopped the chocolate for the ganache and add the hot heavy cream ....
I for got to take a picture of making the Mousseline with Mocha. I decorated the cake and also on top with some left over ganache to decorated around the edges of the cake with seashells ....
My son said it looks delicious and me to sis keep on baking
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful job you did!! I tried Mousseline Buttercream....and failed for the first time in 20 years! Not sure why I had such problems with the whipped cream but it did work in the end. I love the luxurious look of your cake decorating! Thanks for visiting my blog, Maggie! I look forward to reading your posts every week!
