Tort cu mousse de piersici, musetel si mure (Peach, Chamomile & Blackberry Mousse Cake)

Share

 
        Din cauza caldurii maxime ce a cuprins Toronto saptamana trecuta, cand s-au simtit si peste 49 grade Celsius, trebuie sa recunosc ca mi-a scazut de tot dorinta de a trebalui prin bucatarie, de aceea am lipsit putin de pe blog...dar I'm back now si cu ce altceva daca nu cu un tort super fin si aromat de vara ce te face realmente sa visezi! Desi pozele nu mi-au iesit tocmai bine, tortul a fost o minunatie, combinatia de arome este absolut divina!
        Because of the hot weather from last week, when in some days it felt like 49 degrees C, I have to admit that my desire to cook was pretty absent, that's why I didn't post anything for a while now...but I'm back now and what else could I post if not a gorgeous cake recipe, a very elegant and flavorful summer cake that makes you dream! though the pictures aren't really good, this cake was wonderful, the flavor combination is divine!

Ingrediente/Ingredients:

1 blat de tort din 3 oua pt o tava de 23 cm diametru, puteti vedea aici cum se face/1 sponge cake for a 23 cm round cake pan, you can see here how it's made

250 g mure/250 g blackberries
2 piersici/2 peaches
1 lingura flori de musetel/1 tablespoon with chamomile buds
60 ml apa/60 ml water
500 ml frisca lichida/500 ml liquid cream
20 g gelatina/20 g gelatine
80 g zahar/80 g sugar
fructe pt decor/fruits for decoration

Cum se face/How it's made:


Mai intai facem pandispanul din 3 oua. Il lasam sa se raceasca pe un gratar si ne apucam de mousse-uri.
Mousse-ul de piersici si musetel:
Fierbem 60 ml apa cu florile de musetel 2-3 minute.
We first make the sponge cake. We let it cool on a rack and we start making the mousses.
Peach and Chamomile mousse:
We simmer 60 ml water with the chamomile buds for 2-3 minutes.

Strecuram ceaiul obtinut si lasam sa se raceasca.
Curatam piersicile de coaja si le zdrobim cu un mixer vertical pana obtinem un suc gros.
We drain the tea and we let it cool.
We peel the peaches and we blend them with a vertical blender until we obtain a thick juice.

 Adaugam 40 g de zahar si ceaiul de musetel si amestecam. Dizolvam 10 g de gelatina conform instructiunilor de pe pachet si o incorporam in sucul de piersici.
We add 40 g sugar and the chamomile tea to the juice and we stir. We dissolve 10 g of gelatine according to the instructions on the package and we gently add it to the juice.

Mixam 250 ml frisca si cand frisca s-a intarit adaugam si sucul de piersici, amestecand usor cu o lingura. O dam la frigider pt 10 minute sa se intareasca putin.
We whip 250 ml of cream and when it's whipped we add the peach juice, gently stirring with a spoon. We place it in the fridge for 10 minutes so it thickens a little.  

Punem mousse-ul de piersici peste blatul de tort racit in tava in care l-am copt. Punem tava in frigider pana cand facem mousse-ul de mure.
We place the peach mousse on top of the sponge cake. We place it in the fridge until we make the blackberry mousse.

Mousse de mure:
 Zdrobim murele cu un mixer si sucul obtinut cu 40 de g zahar il punem la foc mic pentru 5 minute. Dupa aceea dam prin strecuratoare sosul pentru a indeparta samburii si adaugam cele 10 g de gelatina dizolvata si amestecam usor. Lasam sa se raceasca complet.
Blackberry mousse:
We smash the blackberries with the blender and we place the juice in a small pot on low heat, adding 40 g of sugar and we let it simmer for 5 minutes. After that we drain the juice using a sieve so we remove the seeds and we add the 10 g of gelatine already dissolved. We mix gently and we let it cool completely.

Mixam 250 ml frisca ramasa si cand e tare adaugam sosul de mure amestecand usor cu o lingura.
We whip the cream and when it's whipped we add the blackberry sauce gently mixing with a spoon.

Mousse-ul il punem deasupra in tava peste mousse-ul de piersici si nivelam frumos. Dam la frigider pentru 3-4 ore. Eu am ornat tortul simplu cu mure si piersici.
We pour the mousse on top of the peach mousse and we level it nicely. We place the cake in the fridge for 3-4 hours. I decorated the cake very simple with blackberries and peach.

         De mult timp tot planuiesc sa fac un tort care sa combine Dulce de Leche cu Cocos, caci imi plac tare mult amandoua si acum i-a venit randul :) Combinatia intre cele doua tipuri de mousse e deosebit de placuta, foarte usoara si aromata, exact cum credeam ca va fi!

 100 g fulgi de cocos/100 g coconut flakes

Cum se face/How it's made:   


Mai intai se face un blat de tort cu ingredientele de mai sus, puteti sa vedeti reteta mea de pandispan daca dati click pe link-ul pus acolo. Cand blatul de tort e rece, il taiem in 3 felii.
We first make a sponge cake with the ingredients above, you can follow my recipe by clicking the link I've put there.  When the sponge cake is cold we slice it in 3 layers.


Pt mousse-ul de cocos/For the coconut mousse:
Intr-o craticioara punem laptele de cocos cu zaharul si fulgii de cocos, amestecam si punem la foc mic sa fiarba pentru 2 minute pana se ingroasa putin.
In a small pot we put the coconut milk, sugar and coconut flakes, we stir and we let it boil on low heat for 2 minutes, so it thickens a little.

Preparam gelatina conform instructiunilor de pe pachet si cand crema de cocos e rece, adaugam gelatina si amestecam bine.
We prepare the gelatin following the instructions we have on the package and when the coconut cream is cold, we add the gelatin and we mix it well.

Batem frisca foarte bine (ca sa se bata bine, tineti 5 minute in congelator bolul si paletele de la mixer), si apoi punem cate putin din crema de cocos, pana o incorporam pe toata.
We whip the cream very well (as a tip, you can put the bowl with the mixer batters in the fridge for 5 minutes) and after that we add coconut cream until we mix it all.

Punem mousse-ul de cocos la rece/ We place the coconut mousse in the fridge.


Pt mousse-ul de dulce de leche/For the Dulce de Leche Mousse:
Preparam gelatina conform instructiunilor si o adaugam la dulcele de leche, amestecand bine. Batem frisca foarte bine si apoi incorporam dulcele de leche.
We prepare the gelatin  and we mix it with the dulce de leche. We whip the cream and after that we fold the dulce de leche into the cream.

Cand e gata, o punem in frigider pentru 5 minute.
When the mousse is finished, we place it in the fridge for 5 minutes.

Incepem sa asamblam tortul astfel/We start to assembly the cake:
  Tapetam tava in care am copt blatul cu folie transparenta si punem prima felie de blat. Insiropam cu putin lapte de cocos si punem mousse-ul de dulce de leche.
  We place foil in the cake pan that we baked the sponge cake and we place one cake sheet moistened with coconut milk.

Intindem foarte bine si punem deasupra a doua felie de blat, iar peste mousse-ul de cocos.
We level it nicely and we place the second cake layer, and on top the coconut mousse.

Intindem frumos mousse-ul si punem a treia foaie de blat. Acoperim cu folie si dam la frigider pentru cel putin 4 ore.
We level the mousse nicely and we place the third cake layer. We cover the pan with foil and we place the cake in the fridge for at least 4 hours.

Pentru decor/For decorating:
Punem fulgii de cocos intr-un strat uniform intr-o tava si dam la cuptor la 175 grade pentru 7 minute. Aveti grija ca se prajesc foarte repede. Puteti sa-i lasati neprajiti daca va place.
We place the coconut flakes in an even layer in a baking pan and we place the pan in the oven at 350 degrees for 7 minutes. Be careful because they get toasted easily.You can decorate the cake with coconut flakes without toasting them if you prefer.

Batem frisca bine, adaugam putin zahar si o intindem peste tort. Cand fulgii de cocos s-au racit de tot, ii lipim pe marginile tortului de jur imprejur. Eu am pus deasupra si niste stropi mici de dulce de leche, pe care i-am taiat cu o scobitoare.  Voilà!
We whip the cream and we place it on the cake, covering it nicely. When the coconut flakes are cold we place them on the cake sides, all around. I've also put some dulce de leche drops, which I've "cut" with a wooden toothpick for design. And Voilà!

Si o sectiune cu o felie...
And a section with a slice...

Si o felie pentru voi cu toata dragostea mea! Mousse-ul de dulce de leche mi-a placut mai mult decat cea de cocos, este atat de fina incat nu te poti opri din mancat :) Bon appetit prieteni dragi!
And a slice for you with all my love! I've found the dulce de leche mousse more delicious that the coconut one, it has such a beautiful flavor that you just can't stop eating :) Bon appetit mes amis!
