Il tempo sta passando troppo in fretta, non mi sembra possibile sia già passata una settimana dal mio ultimo post…eppure è così. Incredibile!!!
E’ arrivato anche l’ultimo appuntamento con le (st)renne ai frutti rossi e ci tenevo a postarvi uno dei miei più grandi successi … la Chiffon cake con panna e fragole…. Eccezionale. Sappiate che la base l’ho preparata più di due settimane fa perché dovevo assolutamente provare la teglia da Chiffon cake Wilton (che in Italia è distribuita da Decora) e poi l’ho congelata,. La cosa che più mi ha scioccata è che anche in freezer si è mantenuta soffice. Poi l’altro pomeriggio un invito improvviso e così l’ho tirata fuori dal freezer, e nel fattempo sono andata a comperare le fragole fresche, la panna e la confettura di fragole…. Un successo. Rimane morbida , soffice, e non necessita di essere bagnata, e per questo è ideale per le torte decorate con la pasta di zucchero.
Scusate se non mi sto facendo tanto vedere, ma sono impegnatissima…stiamo organizzandoci per le vacanze e sto smontanto la casa per le “grandissime” pulizie..perchè al ritorno spero di trovare la casa pulita e in ordine visto che Mou parte per le vacanze anche lui!!! J
CHIFFON CAKE (Martha Stewart)
285 gr farina 00
300 gr zucchero, un po’ macinato ( io mi sono aiutata con il Bimby)
6 uova XL ( oppure 7 medie)
195 ml di acqua a temperatura ambiente
120 gr olio semi di mais
1 bustina lievito per dolci
8 gr Cremor tartaro
1 pizzico di sale
Scorza grattugiata di limone
¼ cucchiaino di estratto puro di vaniglia ( o 2 cm di bacca)
Forno preriscaldato a 160°
Unite in sequenza : la farina, lo zucchero, il lievito e il sale setacciati in una grossa ciotola, fate un buco al centro e unite ancora senza mescolare l’olio, i tuorli, l’acqua, la buccia del limone e gli aromi e lasciate così, nel frattempo montate a neve fermissima gli albumi con il cremor tartaro. Riprendete l’insieme degli altri ingrediente ed amalgamate con loe fruste elettriche fino ad ottenere un composto liscio ed omogeneo. A questo punto unite in due-tre tempi gli albumi, delicatamente, ma molto bene.. Versate il tutto nella teglia di alluminio Wilton per Chiffon cake (con piedini) da 25 cm alta 10 cm, con la regola di NON IMBURRARE O UNGERE MAI , ed infornate nel ripiano inferiore a 160°C per 50 minutie a 175°C per gli ultimi 10 minuti. Durante la cottura NON APRITE MAI il forno.
Terminata la cottura prendete lo stampo , capovolgetelo (per questo servono i piedini e per questo la teglia non deve MAI ESSERE UNTA, la torta si staccherebbe e si spatascerebbe miseramente!!!) e lasciatello raffreddare per 4-5 ore (io l’ho lasciato così tutta la notte), con questo sistema ne gioverà il suo interno morbidissimo ed umido. Quando sareà raffreddato rigiratelo e con l’aiuto di una spatola staccate il dolce dalle pareti dello stampo , il fondo di questa teglia è amovibile, quindi sarete agevolati per sformarlo. Capovolgetelo (se necessario la parte rigonfia pareggiatela) e poggiate su un vassoio. Oppure chiudetelo in pellicola trasparente e mettetelo in freezer.
Per la farcitura:
400 gr fragola lavate e tagliate a pezzetti
400 gr confettura di fragole
4 cucchiai di panna montata
400 gr panna montata
Frullate le fragole con la confettura, aggiungete i 4 cucchiai di panna e lasciate riposare.
Tagaliate la Chiffon cake in modo da avere due strati e farci teli con un po’ di purea di fragole, un bello strato di panna e un altro di purea di fragole, ricoprite con una parte di torta e ripetete l’operazione di farcire con purea di fragole e panna. Ricoprite con la torta e rivestite con la panna montata rimasta e decorate con un po’ di fregole.
Hanno fatto il bis e quel po’ di torta rimasto mi hanno detto che dopo due giorni era ancora meravigliosamente buona.
Un bacio grande alle mie (st)renne per queste ennesima bella raccolta. E un bacio grande grande e voi.. ciao Flavia.

The time is passing too fast, does not seem possible has already been a week since my last post ... yet it is so. Incredible!
This is the last appointment with the reindeers red berries collection and I wanted to post one of my biggest successes during these days ... the chiffon cake with whipped cream and strawberries.. You have to know that I have prepared the Chiffon cake more than two weeks ago because I had to try the Wilton baking Chiffon cake pan I received as a present and then I got frozen it. The thing that shocked me most is that even in the freezer this cake has remained soft. Then suddenly a call the other afternoon and so I pulled it out of the freezer, and in the meantime I went to buy fresh strawberries, whipped cream and strawberry jam .... A success. Remains soft and tender, and does not need to be bathed, and is therefore ideal for cakes decorated with sugar paste or fondant.
Sorry if I'm not visiting your blogs, but I’m very busy ... we are organizing for the holidays and I'm trying to order my house for the "huge" clean .. because I hope to come back from holidays and to find the house clean and tidy as Mou will be on holiday too!

During cooking, never open the oven.
Once cooked, take the mold, turn it upside down (the pins are used for this and for this dish should NEVER BE greased, the cake goes off !) And let it cool for 4-5 hours (I left it all night), with this system it will benefit the interior soft and moist. Turn it again and when it cooled down with the help of a spatula to detach the cake from the mold, the bottom of this pan is removable, so you will be facilitated to transform it. Turn it upside down and place on a tray. Or close it in plastic wrap and place in freezer.
For the filling:
400 g strawberries washed and chopped
400 g strawberry jam
4 tablespoons whipped cream
400 g whipped cream
Blend strawberries with the jam, add 4 tablespoons of whipped cream and let it rest.
Cut the cake into two layers in order to get us towels and with a little 'puree strawberries, a nice layer of cream and another of strawberry puree, cover with a piece of cake and repeat the process of stuffing with mashed strawberries and cream. Cover with cake and covered with whipped cream and decorated with the whipped cream.
After two days the only slice survived was still very very good!
A big kiss to my reindeer friends for these new fine collection. And a great big kiss to you all .. hugs, Flavia
