Biscuit

There are hundreds of recipes for its preparation, but each one is different from the other. Therefore, here is the author's version. It is the best fit for the task at hand. You will need:

• Butter - 20 g and a little more for greasing the mold.
• Flour and starch - 75g each
• Eggs - 4-5 pieces
• Sugar - 150g
• S alt and vanilla on a pinch.

It is best to bake the cake the day before assembling the cake. Then it will dry out a little, this will facilitate cutting. First of all, turn on the oven at 150 degrees. We grease the form with oil and cover it with parchment. Dissolve the oil in a separate cup, you will need it a little later. Beat eggs with sugar until fluffy. Add flour and starch and mix. This requires care so as not to knead the squirrels. Now separate some of the mass and mix it with butter. Then return it back and mix again. Transfer the biscuit dough to the mold and bake for 15-20 minutes. Check readiness with a dry torch.

Further preparations

The next day you will easily cut the cake into two halves, whereas on the first day it would cause serious problems. Now let's do the impregnation. In this version, the cake is moderately moist, very tender and tasty. Therefore, lovers of juicy biscuits - join us. We make the most simple impregnation for cakes: for 50 g of water, 50 g of sugar and a teaspoon of rum. Warm in a saucepan, then cool and can be applied to the cakes. It is recommended to do this with a silicone brush or a spray gun.

For stuffing:

• Apples - 4 pieces
• Canned peaches - 6 pcs

Apples need to be peeled and pre-baked in the oven inwithin 20 minutes. Now cut them into cubes and add the peaches. Gently move the fruits onto a half of the biscuit, previously soaked in syrup. Do not forget that the assembly must be carried out already in the form in which the cake will harden. Place the second half of the biscuit on top and soak it well with syrup.

Cooking mousse

Yoghurt mousse biscuit cake is almost ready. It remains to make a mousse and leave our work of art to solidify. For the final layer you will need:

• Gelatin - 12g
• Milk - 250 ml.
• Sugar - 100g
• Yolks - 3 pcs
• Grated zest - 1/2 lime.
• White chocolate - 100g
• Greek yogurt - 250g
• Heavy cream - 300g

It is clear from the composition that you will not be able to lose weight when eating such a cake. But still, it turns out not as high-calorie as purchased. In fact, this is a variant of the English cream, but in a slightly different variation:

• Soak the gelatin first.
• Mix the milk with half the sugar and bring to a boil.
• Beat egg yolks lightly with second half of sugar. Here is a very important point. If you just pour sugar into the yolks and leave them for a few minutes, then the mass will curl up. Therefore, curdled lumps are then obtained in the cream. Just sprinkle sugar on top and keep whisking constantly, then there will be no problems.
• So, we have boiled milk, which means we can continue. Pour half the contents of the pan into a cup and combine with the yolks, then pourback and put on fire. Heat up to 80 degrees and remove from heat. Strain through a sieve.
• Introduce dissolved gelatin, add chopped chocolate.
• Place the bowl of cream on a saucepan of cold water or ice and, stirring with a whisk, bring to a temperature of 35 degrees.
