Christmas root cake

Christmas root cake
I thought about this cake for a long time before making it. I always felt that it was complicated and didn't want to do it, so I delayed it until Christmas. Now I had no reason to be lazy again, so I tinkered with it ~~~~ In fact, it's not as complicated as I imagined, but it's a little troublesome. One cake slice, one sandwich, and one coating, but in actual operation, it would take one day to go in.
BUT---A day's hard work is really comparable to the cake after making it!!!!! Not only is it beautiful in appearance, it is also quite delicious. The cake roll is made of a chocolate breeze cake roll. It is mainly delicious in its filling and coating. I use chocolate egg yolk cream for the filling and coating. The coating is chocolate coffee whipped cream. It's so delicious!!!!! I don't eat ordinary cakes after they are cooked. Because it was the first time I made it, I tasted a small piece of this cake. I almost burst into tears when it was delicious...
SO--Just take it on my feet. This cake is not only suitable for Christmas, but it can also be roasted and eaten in ordinary times. It's so delicious!!!!! My aunt saw my cake and said at the time that she thought it was very delicious. I would make it for my niece when I go back ~~~~ Actually, I was a little greedy. I will bake one next time and bring it with me. This cake is still relatively big and suitable for people to order more ~~~~
It is divided into three parts: cocoa breeze cake slices, chocolate egg yolk cream sandwich, and chocolate whipped cream coating. The sandwich can also be applied with less. This cake is also called annual ring cake. If you want to highlight the roll, you have to sacrifice the sandwich in the middle, but the best thing about these three parts is the sandwich... So I decisively chose to apply more of the sandwich. As for the annual ring ~~~~~~ As long as the cake rolls are rolled more beautifully, it will be the same.

  • Christmas root cake Make Tips

    1) Chocolate egg yolk cream sandwich--The successfully prepared egg yolk cream is fluffy, smooth and shiny, has a thick taste, and has excellent mouth melting properties. In addition, sugar-free cocoa powder has a better flavor and mellow flavor. Compared with the whipped cream, this egg yolk cream has better solidification and long-lasting properties, and the sandwich used to make cake rolls will be fuller and more beautiful. 2) The key step in making egg yolk cream is when the syrup is off the heat and when it is cooked. Therefore, this thermometer is more important. The syrup cooked at a temperature of 118-120 degrees has the right thickness, so it can be very well mixed with egg yolk paste. If the syrup is too thick, it will not be poured into the egg yolk paste. If it is too thin, it will affect the mixing with the egg yolk paste;3) The final cocoa egg yolk cream is delicate, loose and smooth, and can be easily spread evenly on the surface of the cake; 4) Chocolate whipped cream is applied to the dough-not only does the sugar-free cocoa powder, but also half of pure coffee powder, so it is particularly fragrant when eaten. The cocoa powder and coffee powder taste very well ~~~~~5) The pure coffee powder placed in the whipped cream is best ground by yourself. It is very delicate and has a special aroma;6) The whipped cream can be beaten until it will not flow in the basin, and it will be solidified with a small spoon; The same is true for fresh cream added with cocoa coffee paste;7) When making tree root cakes, cocoa powder should be sprinkled on the fresh cream, so the scratches on the surface of the cake should be deeper with a fork, otherwise it will not be obvious when sprinkled with cocoa powder;8) Put the cake in the refrigerator for a while before eating, and when it is cut again, the fresh cream will be set, and the cut surface will be more beautiful.
