La sfida della Daring Kitchen di questo mese è stata ospitata
da Chaterine di Munchie Musings. Si tratta del Sans Rival, dolce tipico filippino,
che è una sorta di millefoglie fatto di dischi di meringa intervallati da
strati di crema di burro. La ricetta originale prevedeva di fare una torta vera
e propria, ricoperta completamente dalla crema di burro, io per motivi pratici ho
preferito fare delle monoporzioni, più facili da assemblare. In ogni caso un dolce
meraviglioso, la cremosità ed estrema dolcezza della crema si stempera grazie
all’amaro del cacao della meringa croccante.
SANS RIVAL (per 4)
Per gli strati di meringa:
5 albumi
112 g di zucchero
1/2 cucchiaino di cremor tartaro
10 g di cacao olandese
80 g di anacardi tostati tritati
Foderare il fondo di 2 teglie rettangolari (20x30 cm circa) con della carta
forno e imburrare e infarinare i bordi.
Montate a neve gli albumi e poi aggiungere lo zucchero un
cucchiaio alla volta, sempre sbattendo con le fruste. Aggiungere infine il
cacao setacciato e gli anacardi e incorporarli delicatamente al composto.
Distribuire la meringa sulle due teglie e livellare bene. Mettere in forno
preriscaldato a 160°C per circa 30 minuti, o fino a che la meringa non si è
asciugata.
Togliere dal forno, lasciar intiepidire e staccare
delicatamente la meringa dalla carta forno.
Per la crema al burro:
2 tuorli grandi
112 g di zucchero
30 ml di acqua
142 g di burro ammorbidito
1/2 cucchiaino di estratto di vaniglia
In una ciotola montare i tuorli con le fruste elettriche
finchè questi non diventeranno bianchi e spumosi. In un pentolino far
sciogliere lo zucchero insieme all’acqua e lasciar cuocere finchè lo sciroppo
non raggiungerà i 112°C. Versare lo sciroppo a filo sulle uova continuando a
sbattere con le fruste finchè le uova non raggiungeranno la temperatura
ambiente (circa 15 minuti). Aggiungere gradatamente il burro un cucchiaio per
volta, infine aggiungere l’estratto di vaniglia. Porre la crema in frigo per
almeno un’ora.
Assemblaggio:
Tagliare i 2 strati di meringa in modo da formare 16
quadrati. Togliere la crema dal frigo e trasferirla in una sac a poche.
Distribuire parte della crema in 4 quadrati di meringa, coprire con altri
quadrati e ripetere l’operazione fino a esaurimento degli strati di meringa.
Daring Bakers's Challenge November 2011: Filipino Desserts
Catherine of Munchie Musings
was our November Daring Bakers’ host and she challenged us to make a
traditional Filipino dessert – the delicious Sans Rival cake! And for those of
us who wanted to try an additional Filipino dessert, Catherine also gave us a
bonus recipe for Bibingka which comes from her friend Jun of Jun-blog.
I made just
the Sans Rival. I chose to make monoportion of this delicious cake, where the
sweetness and the creaminess of the French buttercream is well combined with the
slightly bitterness of the cocoa in the crispy meringue layers.
Meringues:
large egg whites, room temp
112g white granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
10 g Dutch processed cocoa (optional and
not traditional)
80 g chopped, toasted
cashews
Preheat
oven to moderate 325°F/160°C/gas mark 3.
Line 2 rectangular cake pan (20x30 cm) bottoms with parchment paper and butter and flour the sides really well.
In a large clean, dry glass or metal mixing bowl, beat egg whites on medium until foamy (2 min.). Sprinkle with cream of tartar. Gradually add sugar, a couple of tablespoons at a time, continuing to beat now at high speed until stiff shiny peaks form. (about 7-10 min). Fold in nuts and shifted cocoa.

Divide
meringue into two equal parts. Spread in pans, evenly to edges. If doing
batches, use fresh parchment paper and cooled pans for each batch.
Bake in
preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove the meringue from
the baking pans while still hot; allow to cool slightly. Peel off the parchment
paper while it is still warm, it is difficult to remove sometimes when they
have completely cooled.
When cool,
trim edges so that all 4 meringue layers are uniformly shaped. Set aside.
French Buttercream:
2 large egg
yolks, room temperature
112 g white granulated sugar
30 ml water
142 g unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, or any flavor you like
112 g white granulated sugar
30 ml water
142 g unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, or any flavor you like
Put the egg
yolks in a mixing bowl. Beat at high speed until the yolks have doubled in volume
and are a lemon yellow.
Put the sugar and water in a heavy pan and cook over medium heat, stirring the sides down only until all the sugar is dissolved and the syrup reaches 112°C .
With the mixer on high, very slowly pour the syrup down the sides of the bowl, until all has been added. Continue beating on high until the mixture is room temperature (about 15 min). Still on high, beat in the soft, room temperature butter a tablespoon at a time. Add flavoring after you beat in the butter. Refrigerate the buttercream for at least an hour, and whip it smooth just before you use it.
