Chocolate Eclair Dessert

Chocolate Éclairs

Ingredients

Water 4 ounces
Butter 2 ounces
Flour 2 ounces
Egg 2
Salt a pinch
Fresh cream whipped 1 cup
Icing sugar 1 ounce

Ingredients for chocolate icingButter 1 ounce

Cooking Chocolate 2 ounces
Milk 2 tbsp

Method for éclairs

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and place rack in center of oven. In a bowl whisk the flour with the s salt. Place the butter and water in a saucepan over medium high heat and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and, with a wooden spoon, add the flour mixture, all at once, and stir until combined. Return saucepan to the heat and stir constantly until the dough comes away from the sides of the pan and forms a thick smooth ball (about 1-2 minutes). Transfer the dough to your electric mixer (can do this by hand or with a hand mixer), and beat on low speed to release the steam from the dough (about 1 minute). Once the dough is lukewarm start adding the lightly beaten eggs (dough will separate and then come together) and continue to mix until you have a smooth thick paste (dough will fall from a spoon in a thick ribbon). Place the dough in a pastry bag fitted with a large plain tip and pipe 12 oblongs of dough (about 3/4 inch (2 cm) wide) onto the baking sheet. (When piping have the bag at a 45 degree angle.) Bake for 15 minutes and then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Continue to bake for a further25 minutesor until the shells are a nice amber color and when split, are almost dry inside. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool.

Method for icing

Micro all ingredients for 30 seconds or until melted,mix well & use !

Assembling

Split the pastry shells in half, lengthwise. Take the top shell and dip into the chocolate glaze, letting the excess drip off. Place on a wire rack to dry. Fill the bottom half (can spoon or pipe) with the cream. Once the glaze is dry, gently place the top half of the pastry shell on the cream. Can be covered and stored in the refrigerator for two days.

Mocha Cake

Tiramisu Cake

Ingredients for the Cake

2 cups cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 sticks (10 tablespoons) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1 large egg yolk
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup buttermilk

Method

Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter two 9×2 inch round cake pans(u can use square pan in same size), dust the insides with flour, tap out the excess, and line the bottoms of the pans with parchment or wax paper. Put the pans on a baking sheet. 

To make the Cake

1) Sift together the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2) Working with a stand mixer, preferably fitted with a paddle attachment, or with a hand mixer in a large bowl, beat the butter on medium speed until soft and creamy. Add the sugar and beat for another 3 minutes. Add the eggs one by one, and then the yolk, beating for 1 minute after each addition. Beat in the vanilla; don’t be concerned if the mixture looks curdled. Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the dry ingredients alternately with the buttermilk, adding the dry ingredients in 3 additions and the milk in 2 (begin and end with the dry ingredients); scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed and mix only until the ingredients disappear into the batter. Divide the batter evenly between the two pans and smooth the tops with a rubber spatula. 
3) Bake for 28 to 30 minutes, rotating the pans at the midway point. When fully baked, the cakes will be golden and springy to the touch and a thin knife inserted into the centers will come out clean. Transfer the cakes to a rack and cool for about 5 minutes, then run a knife around the sides of the cakes, unmold them, and peel off the paper liners. Invert and cool to room temperature right-side up. 

For the espresso extract:(Homemade coffee Extract)

Ingredients.
2 tablespoons instant espresso powder
2 tablespoons boiling water
Method: Stir the espresso powder and boiling water together in a small cup until blended. Set aside.

For the Espresso Syrup

1/2 cup water
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon Almond Essence 
Method:
Stir the water and sugar together in a small saucepan and bring just to a boil. Pour the syrup into a small heatproof bowl and stir in 1 tablespoon of the espresso extract and the liqueur or brandy; set aside.(u will need this syrup for soaking the cake.)

For the filling and frosting

1 8-ounce container mascarpone(If u dont get u can use cream cheese)
1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar, sifted(powdered sugar)
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla essence
1 tablespoon almond essence/vanilla essence
1 cup cold heavy cream
2 1/2 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, grated(i used chocolate chip) 
Cocoa powder, for dusting
Method:
1) Put the mascarpone, sugar, vanilla, and liqueur in a large bowl and whisk just until blended and smooth.
2) Working with the stand mixer with the whisk attachment or with a hand mixer, whip the heavy cream until it holds firm peaks. Switch to a rubber spatula and stir about one quarter of the whipped cream into the mascarpone. Fold in the rest of the whipped cream with a light touch. 

To assemble the Cake

1) If the tops of the cake layers have crowned, use a long serrated knife and a gentle sawing motion to even them. Place one layer right-side up on a cardboard round or a cake plate protected with strips of wax or parchment paper. Using a pastry brush or a small spoon, soak the layer with about one third of the espresso syrup. Smooth some of the mascarpone cream over the layer – user about 1 1/4 cups – and gently press the grated chocolate into the filling. Put the second cake layer on the counter and soak the top of it with half the remaining espresso syrup, then turn the layer over and position it, soaked side down, over the filling. Soak the top of the cake with the remaining syrup. 

2) For the frosting, whisk 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons of the remaining espresso extract into the remaining mascarpone filling. Taste the frosting as you go to decide how much extract you want to add. If the frosting looks as if it might be a little too soft to spread over the cake, press a piece of plastic wrap against its surface and refrigerate it for 15 minutes or so. Refrigerate the cake too. 

3) With a long metal icing spatula, smooth the frosting around the sides of the cake and over the top. If you want to decorate the cake with chocolate-covered espresso beans, press them into the filling, making concentric circles of beans or just putting some beans in the center of the cake. 

4) Refrigerate the cake for at least 3 hours (or for up to 1 day) before serving – the elements need time to meld.

5) Just before serving, dust the top of the cake with cocoa.

VANILLA CAKE RECIPE

Ingredients for vanilla cake

1 cup room temperature unsalted butter (225gm)
1 ¾ cups sugar (350gm)
5 room temperature eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour (360gm)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vanilla extract or essence
1 ¼ cup non-fat buttermilk (250ml)
Tip: You can make buttermilk at home. Take 1 cup room temperature milk and add 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice. Let this stand for 5-10 minutes and then use accordingly.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 180C.
Grease and put some parchment in your pans. Then grease the parchments as well and dust with a bit of flour.
Sift together flour, salt and baking powder. Set aside.
Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Scrape sides of bowl every few minutes using the whisk attachment or a rubber spatula. This is crucial. Otherwise you're going to be left with chunks of butter in your finished batter. So make sure you cream it well and don't rush!
Add eggs one at a time. Making sure each egg is perfectly incorporated before you add another. If you skip too quickly past this stage, you will have a cake that smells of eggs because the bits of egg that aren't fully beaten in will bake separately in the cake and it will be like having scrambled eggs cooking in your cake, eww! So incorporate the eggs whenever you reach this stage for any cake recipe!! Remember to scrape down the sides of the bowl after every few eggs. Add vanilla.
Add flour and buttermilk in three alternative pours, starting and ending with flour. Mix on slow speed and scrape the bowl during the process. I know, it's a pain in the butt. It's worth it. At this stage do NOT over mix, just combine until the batter is incorporated. Over mixing can ruin your cake.
Once everything is well incorporated, use a plastic spatula to fold the batter a few more times to make perfectly sure you've got everything will mixed.
Divide the batter between your cake pans. Bake in preheated oven for twenty-five to forty minutes. Check for doneness by pressing gently on the cake. If you leave an indent, not done. If it bounces back gently without leaving a mark, done. You can use a toothpick to check also. Don't over bake the cake!
Let the cake cool in the pan for a few minutes then turn it out onto a rack to finish cooling completely.

HOW TO ASSEMBLE CAKES WITHOUT SPECIAL PANS..
So how do you make a checkered cake with out a special pan?
Well… you do need some cookie cutters.
First I baked a chocolate layer and a vanilla layer. I cut each layer in half to get four layers.
I have used 8 inch and it worked fine because my cutters was not exact.
You need a 6″ cookie cutter. If u dont have cookie cutter u use any bowl of 6 inches... just give the impression on cake and cut it with the help of knife.. and 3 inch cookie cutter or bowl...cut each layer into 3 circles..Then swap inner circle rings with opposite layer.Frost the inside of each circle before putting in the next piece. This keeps the pieces together when the cake is cut.Frost each layer.Add each alternating layer... and at end frost the whole cake .. hopefully u understand the method... —

When the cream has come to a boil, pour over the chopped chocolate & butter, and whisk until smooth.
Allow the ganache to cool slightly before pouring over a cake. For a fluffy frosting or chocolate frosting, allow it to cool until thick, then whip with a whisk until light and fluffy.
