The chocolate cake of Suzy (Pierre Hermé)

The chocolate cake of Suzy (Pierre Hermé)

Cause is there, I believe to have found the chocolate cake simple and flux, all the opinions one be unanimous: it is the best and tasted by far up to now in this style of cake there i.e. rich person and flux, dense and quite chocolate texture… One will not be astonished if it is signed Pierre Hermé, Master of pastry making par excellence!
I did mine with raspberries inside because I never resist to put raspberries in my preparations at the chocolate, the marriage of the chocolate and raspberries is my nice sin but it will be quite as delicious quite simply with the chocolate or with crystallized orange peels…
A receipt extracted the “My desserts to the chocolate” of Pierre Hermé

My last madness of chocolate cake


Since always, I am accro with the chocolate cake. When I was child my mom made some very good, the “Ruy-Blas”, receipt which you can find in the book of Ginette Mathiot “Pastry making For All”. A few years ago, I bought this book in version delivers pocket and it is very practical because he contains all the bases of pastry making.
For pastry making, I also use the book of Gaston Lenotre “Made Your Pastry making You Even” and more recently (gift of my small Lucie sister) “Larousse of the Pastry making of Pierre Hermé”.


During these last years, I tested many receipts of chocolate cake according to my desires of the moment. It was a strenuous work and difficult, but I did it for you.
Then one day, I discovered in a special file chocolate of the magazine IT a receipt of chocolate cake written by Pierre Hermé of exclusiveness for IT.
Good, I cannot simply quote Pierre Hermé like that and pass.
You will find hundreds of interviews and portraits of him on the Net. After having read of it a certain number in French and English, I deliver that of the site Gourmet-TV to you
“Pierre Hermé, one of the largest pastrycooks of all times. Insatiable creator, Pierre absolutely saw his trade in family logic bus at Hermé, in Alsace one is a baker and confectioner of wire father since four generations. A 14 years, Pierre makes his training at the large Gaston Lenôtre and at 19 years, the Master entrusts to him the responsibility for one of his workshops. Its fulgurating rise is proportional to its immense talent. After the Carlton Hotel in Brussels and the Intercontinental one in Luxembourg, Pierre makes reappear pastry making at Fauchon then at Ladurée. In 1998, it opens its first pastry making in Tokyo followed by a tearoom in 2000 and its first store to Paris in 2001. Thanks to its high doubled technicality of a single sensitivity, its creations are compared with the haute couture. The Hermé style underlines the harmony of savours, textures and the forms while preserving the pleasure of greediness. “
I had read many things on him in IT. Finding one day, me in the Latin Quarter and having a few hours to kill before joining David, I remembered that one of its shops was not very far. And here how I found myself to the 72 street Bonaparte.
Pierre Hermé72 street Bonaparte75006 ParisM° St Sulpice
It is an incredible pastry making, I had the impression to be in a museum. I walked gently along the window where the cakes are stored and I looked at them one by one by reading descriptions. I did not believe my eyes of them, each cake is a wonder and associations of ingredients are single. I remember in particular one pie to the strawberry and tomato.
I felt a very strong emotion which I had never tested in a pastry making. I also appreciated that one leaves me with my contemplation. I ended up buying macaroons, the famous pie with the strawberry and tomato, a pie with lemon and much of other good things. Roof of the chance, Pierre Hermé was outside when I left. I said to him hello spontaneously because I knew his face and it answered me. A few seconds later, I felt somewhat ridiculous bus if me I knew his face to have seen it in photograph, I was for him a perfect unknown factor!
Pierre Hermé is often described in the press like the dressmaker of the high pastry making or Picasso of pastry making. He leaves a new collection at each season. I include/understand better maintaining the emotion felt.
Now, here the receipt which I use in this moment:
What I changed compared to that of the maqazine IT:
I use slightly salted butter in the place of soft butter.I do not grate the chocolate but I cut it in small pieces (shame one me! I know that truths pastrycooks grate the chocolate, but to grate 250 G of chocolate to the hand, not! the only time where I grate chocolate, it is when I make a tiramisu).It sometimes happens to me to use of black Lindt serves to chocolate 70% when I do not have any more Valrohna. I use a square mould Téfal in the place of the flexible mould.
Ingredients
For 8 to 10 people
bitter chocolate 250g (Guanaja de Valrhona)250 G of slightly salted butter at ambient temperaturesugar 200g4 large eggs70g of flour
Receipt
Preheat your furnace on 180° C.Dissolve the chocolate and let cool it.Mixer butter and sugar 4 min at mean velocity.I use a whisk (so only I had a true Kitchen-Aid robot, because 4 minutes, it is long!)Add eggs one by one, by beating 1 min between each egg.Incorporate the chocolate then mix.Incorporate the flour then mix.Pour the paste in your mould and smooth the top.Make cook 30 approximately min, until the cake is slightly inflated and which the top is cracked a little.Let cool before unmoulding.
What I note:
I insist if not you will be disappointed: it is absolutely necessary to wait the following day before tasting it. It is indeed the following day that it becomes marrowy with a small crust on the top which cracks. It is still best two days later.
It is a very rich cake, to thus cross in very small pieces in order to leave with your guests freedom eat the quantity which they want. You will see some cannot stop more but I will not quote a name, David.
You will find an excellent receipt of Pierre Hermé on the blog Chocolate&Zucchini, the Cake with the Chocolate, Abricots and Ginger.

You know my melting with the chocolate cake in the middle sliding ring and the crusty crust…

That there, it became my speciality with the passing of years… Good, by agreement the last time that I did it, I missed it but good…
In fact, all the success of the cake lies in the fact of doubling the amounts. To final, the proportions certainly will frighten you but known as you that it is for good ten people. If you wish to keep the normal proportions, think of doing it in a small mould so that the heart is found with wish! If it is too flat, it will cook badly and too quickly (except if you have a good furnace, which is not my case!!)Here the proportions (if you want it smaller, as I said it to you, you divide by two and you use a small mould)
8 eggs, 300 G of chocolate, 250 G of butter, 250 G of sugar, 80 G of flour Good then, to prepare, it is very simple. You beat eggs and sugar with the whip with hand not too a long time, it is not necessary that the eggs start to foam, if not you will lose flux (but that does not prevent the cake from being good, it is different, it is all…). During this time you dissolve the chocolate and butter together (to the pan or micro the waves, that returns to same!) Then you add the flour to the mixture sugar-eggs, you beat still a little (just time that the mixture is homogeneous. Lastly, you add the chocolate-butter mixture. The turn is played!It is not more complicated than that!! You pour in a mould and you make cook time just that the crust is formed, you check by pricking the point of a knife in the center, it is necessary that it is still rather running (that hardens while cooling…)!And my last modification, they is the raspberries! And that, that achieved the unanimity!!You pour the preparation in a buttered mould, and you strew with raspberries (me I take them frozen, I find damage to cook fresh raspberries). one should not hesitate to have the heavy hand over raspberries: they give even more flux to the cake and sweetened acidulous contrast is to be fallen by ground!!
If desfois you do not like the mixture fruits red-chocolate, not of problem! The cake only, or is accompanied very good by English cream or dairy ice cream! Some will say to you that it is as that that it is the best!You will tell me news of them…
P.S: you will notice that I seldom indicate the thermostat of the furnace and the duration of cooking. There is a reason with that: my furnace is completely déglingué. I walk much to the feeling for the cooking of my pastry makings, which is worth me badly râtés… days ago when the feeling also is déglingué…

But this year, I decided to change by proposing a chocolate cake, I had located in the Saveurs magazine of April a subject devoted to the chocolate and heading Any chocolate…
At the house, we are not very amateurs of chocolate cakes also, when I wish to test such receipts, I choose my colleagues of work as testers, and I must acknowledge that they not complain any and that they do not balk with the task…
The cake is cake simply with the chocolate without raspberry, these last are simply present on the photograph to make prettier on the one hand, and on the other hand, because we took the practice to make pots with the breakfast…
And I found more pleasant to propose a cake but also fruits which one can picorer and the raspberries seemed me to correspond perfectly to the definition…
This cake is light stops some and especially very marrowy… And moreover, it is very simple to realize…

Dressing hazel nut: squares for the coffee or how to say definitively not to the beach this summer





Dressing hazel nut: squares for the coffee or how to say definitively not to the beach this summer

Before using your dressing-hazel nut in sophisticated receipts, test it with these squares. As I recently suggested it in Mercotte, in order to present oneself without fear at the beach this summer, to make quick dip, one can always choose a pretty diving-suit, rather than a bathing suit. That avoids the useless deprivations. In this case, and this case only, here a regulation receipt which falls to peak (before making you run), to use famous dressing with hazel nuts… and to level some guests per hour of a greedy coffee. You will take a square p' tit well?

Prepare your flux with the chocolate the day before, with a very good chocolate. Mercotte singing us without slackening, the virtues of the valrhona (velvety, smoothness of the vintages, depth, flavour), I could only too encourage you to imitate it. I found valrhona at Antoine in Bordeaux:

Use the base of a chocolate cake, standard melting ofchoc_et_mascobado1Trish Deseine, to see by here, replace sugar by mascobado, very scented (with the accents of liquorice, coffee, caramel) and quite dense, which gives many marrowy… Parfumez possibly your cake, by associating it a little coffee flavour (4 drops), which will raise that of the chocolate. This chocolate cake one of my is preferred, déclinable, ad infinitum, it belongs to the many receipts of the book “I want chocolate” of Trish DESEINE, with amply justified success (simple, ludic, astonishing, beautiful and very greedy!)
Let rest until the following day. The following day: to dissolve approximately 100g black chocolate with grué, to spread out it over the cake, you obtain a pretty lake. To let well cool, and harden.
Let rest until the following day. The following day: to dissolve approximately 100g black chocolate with grué, to spread out it over the cake, you obtain a pretty lake. To let well cool, and harden.

To let cool in T° ambient. Then to spread out this caramel over the top of chocolate cake, with a spatula, and finally: to powder with dressing hazel nut, receipt by here.

How I sweetened flux with the chocolate of Nathalie, receipt of Trish Deseine
