Ingredients

How to make it

  • Prepare the spongecake : In a bowl combine the eggs, sugar and a pinch of salt.
  • Put the bowl in a bain-marie using very hot water.
  • Beat vigourously until the mixture thickens and you obtain a smooth paste.
  • Outside the bain-marie, beat again until it has cooled down.
  • Put the butter into a saucepan and heat it at a very low temperature.
  • When the butter is completely melted, remove the light film from over the surface and pour the liquid into another bowl. It’s now clarified butter.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F
  • Add the clarified butter while stirring the mixture.
  • Add the flour while beating softly.
  • Pour the heavy cream into a small saucepan together with a little bit of milk and put everything, the whip as well, a few minutes in the freezer.
  • Prepare the meringue : beat the egg-whites until stiff with half of the sugar.
  • Gradually add the other half and continue beating until the whites are stiff.
  • Butter and flour four little cake pans and pour in the filling.
  • Put the merigue in the middle of the mixture’s surface.
  • Bake it for about 15 minutes. Then, turn the spongecake out.
  • Prepare the whipped cream : pull the whip and the bowl out of the freezer. Put the bowl into a bigger one filled with ice cubes.
  • Whip the cream and gradually add the icing sugar until the cream sticks to the whip.
  • Finish it off with a hint of vanilla (or Grand Marnier).
  • Put the mixture into four small plates : pour some cream in the middle of the plate, then lay the spongecake on the cream and decorate the cream with small portions of Garden Angelica jelly.
  • Sprinkle with cocoa powder.

    Wow, this is great mon ami, and I have learnt what garden angelika is by visiting your site. As I do not have garden angelika and you mention Grand Marnier, would an orange marmelade be as good as strawberry as a substitute?
