Chocolate cake "Classic" (without flour)

- sugar - 150 grams
Method of preparation:Separate the yolks and whites and place them in separate bowls. Beat the whites until stiff peaks form, add sugar (half the amount, or 75 grams) and beat until completely dissolved. In another bowl, grind the yolks with the remaining sugar until white, add cocoa powder and mix well. You should get a thick chocolate mass. The next step is to combine the two mixtures: white and yolk. To do this, carefully and gradually add one spoonful of beaten whites to the chocolate thickening, stirring clockwise each time and thoroughly kneading the lumps. You cannot add all the whites to the yolks at once, because then they will fall and the biscuit may not rise. Cover the baking sheet with waxed paper and grease it with a piece of butter. Put the chocolate dough in, spread it evenly with a spoon around the entire perimeter of the baking sheet. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Baking should last no more than 30 minutes. Now is the time to prepare the chocolate cream. Heat the cream to boiling point, put the cubes of broken chocolate bars into the same pan. And, without stopping stirring, wait until all the chocolate has dissolved. As a result, you will get a thick cream. It needs to be cooled. In the meantime, the baking of the sponge cake is finished. After removing it from the oven, let it cool. Using a large knife, divide the pie lengthwise into three equal layers. Generously soak each side with chocolate cream, placing the layers on top of each other. Pour the same cream on top. The cake should be placed in the refrigerator for at least an hour and a half.

- starch - 2 tablespoons
For the cream:
- gelatin in plates - 5 grams
- 3 tiles of dark chocolate

- cognac (brandy) - 20 milliliters
- 100 milliliters cream 15-20% fat content
Method of preparation:Place the entire portion of walnuts in a food processor, add sugar, but not all of it, about three quarters (the rest will be needed to whip the whites), and two spoons of starch. Grind the nut mixture to a fine flour consistency. Add salt to the cooled whites and whip until thick foam, without turning off the mixer, add a quarter cup of granulated sugar little by little. When the sugar has completely dissolved, the white mixture will be ready. Add the whites to the nut mass in several stages, one spoon at a time, mixing them in very carefully. Do not use the blender anymore, use only a spoon or a wooden spatula for mixing. The mixture should be lifted from the bottom up and turned in a circle. Do not forget that you need to handle the whites very carefully, do not rush. The resulting mixture is designed for three cakes. Put the dough (a third part) in a form covered with paper and bake in a hot oven for 35 minutes. The color of the sponge cake should be honey-golden - this will indicate its readiness. Bake the other 2 cakes in the same way. When everything is ready and the cakes have cooled, you can take them out of the mold, separate the paper. Do not be alarmed if the sponge cakes shrink a little, this is how it should be. To prepare the cream, soak the gelatin in cool water. Heat the cream, make sure it does not boil. Put broken bars of chocolate in it so that it melts. For a piquant taste, we suggest diversifying the recipe for chocolate cream and adding a few spoons of alcohol to it. Stir until the ingredients are completely dissolved, until you get a homogeneous creamy mass. Squeeze out the swollen gelatin and dilute it in three tablespoons of hot cream, pour into the chocolate cream, cool. Whip the heavy cream until stiff, using a mixer or whisk, add the chocolate and gelatin mixture, and stir with a spatula. The cream is ready, leave it in a cool place to cool, preferably in the refrigerator. It's time to assemble the cake. Place the cake in a springform pan with high sides, spread a third of the cream on top, cover with a second cake, and repeat for the third. Grease all three cakes well, spreading the cream evenly. Place the remaining portion of cream on the last top layer of the cake, decorate with chopped nuts, cover the top of the pan with cling film and refrigerate the dessert.
Chocolate cake with cherries "Ease of Being"
Is it really possible to make a cake without flour?The answer to this question is of interest to everyone. It may seem impossible only at first glance. And such a recipe will most likely cause a lot of mistrust. But do not rush to conclusions. Let's figure out why a chocolate cake without flour does not fall apart. It simply always contains a lot of eggs, which serve as a binding component and do their job perfectly. Without eggs, it will be much more difficult to make a cake, because it is difficult to repeat their binding power. They practically consist of one protein, while flour contains only 10% proteins. Flour in recipes for such pies can be easily replaced with cocoa powder or ground nuts. Write down the recipe for this cake in your cookbook as an option for special occasions. When bringing it to life, do not dwell on the design and decoration, which is so fashionable now. The main character of this recipe is the cake itself, and it should be given the main role here. A delicate, creamy, soft dessert with cherry-chocolate flavor is a real delight for a true sweet tooth. Ingredients: For the cream:
- bitter chocolate - 150 grams
- cream - 300 milliliters
- granulated sugar - 20 grams
- 2 teaspoons gelatin
For the test:
- 2 tiles of dark chocolate
- 125 grams of butter
- 6 eggs
- sugar - 75 grams
- rusks - finely ground - 30 grams
- cognac - 40 milliliters
- vanillin
- cherry (can be frozen) - 1 glass
Method of preparation:Turn on the oven and let it heat up to 180 degrees. Meanwhile, prepare a water bath: place another container in a saucepan with water. This is where the chocolate will be melted. Put the saucepan on the gas, the water in it should boil. While the chocolate is melting, add the butter to it, let it all melt. Then remove the mixture from the steam bath and cool. Separate the eggs into yolks and whites, whisk one yolk at a time into the chocolate thick, whisking well each time. Add vanilla and brandy here. The whites in this dough must be whipped into a stiff foam with the addition of sugar. Add the whites to the chocolate mass in small portions and stir thoroughly into the chocolate with a spoon. Grind the crackers and mix with the whole mass. The recipe can be changed - instead of crackers, take finely ground nuts. The cake dough is ready. Pour it into a form, previously covered with paper. Bake the sponge cake for about 35 minutes, check the readiness with a wooden stick in the center of the cake, if it comes out dry, this means that the dessert is baked and you can take it out. If, after taking the cake out of the oven, you notice that it has fallen a little, do not be upset - this is completely normal. While the dessert is cooling, start preparing the cream. Heat 100 milliliters of cream, put in broken chocolate and melt everything together over the fire. Whip the remaining cream into a foam with the addition of sugar. Then carefully mix the protein mixture into the chocolate. If the cream is low in fat or has not thickened due to hot weather, use gelatin. Dissolve a teaspoon of instant gelatin in water and pour it into the cream in a thin stream. Then use a mixer to achieve an airy mousse texture. Place the resulting chocolate mousse on top of the cake, spread it evenly over the entire surface with a knife or a flat spatula. Put the cake in the refrigerator. For cherry flavor, the berries should be defrosted (in season, it is better to take fresh ones, of course), remove the pits. To make them look attractive on the cake and not dry out, you need to resort to this trick: the cherries need to be gelled - this way they will retain their shape and appearance. To do this, take a teaspoon of gelatin and dissolve it in a third of a glass of water. You can also take a package of ready-made transparent gelatin filling, prepare it as indicated in the instructions. Then place the berries in the gelatin mixture, stir and discard in a colander. Excess liquid will drain, and each berry will be covered with a thin layer of jelly. Place the cherries on top of the chocolate cream, they can be sprinkled with chocolate chips or covered with glaze. The cake should be heated to room temperature before use. It can be stored in the refrigerator for 3 days.
