Man ir izdevies atrast priekš sevis teh ultimate tumšās (šokolādes) kūkas recepti, bet vēl joprojām meklēju vislabāko baltās kūkas pagatavošanas veidu.
biskvīts parastais man šķiet mazliet par smagnēju.
uzcepu šodien balto kūku pēc šīs receptes.
Cepšanas procesā mīkla patiešām šķita ļoti gaisīga un viegla.
Vienīgā bēda, ka pēc izcepšanas kūka viegli saplaka. Nezinu, kā lai ko tādu novērš. atstāt kūku cepeškrāsnī? mēģināt uzreiz izņemt no formas? (otrais gan būtu pagrūti, jo biskvīts sanāk ļoti maigs un vārīgs)
rezultātā gan šī kūka sanāca visai līdzīga keksam parastajam. bet garšīgam keksam. un traki salda :)
Vidū starp 2 ripām ieliku putukrējumu ar vaniļu un maziem dzeltenās marmelādes gabaliņiem. baigi forshi tādi viegli skābeni gabaliņi putukrējumā.
dusma uz rimi saldo krējumu, kurš galīgi negribēja putoties.
vēl joprojām meklēju forši vieglu balto kūku. bet vēlams ne tādu recepti, kurā ir 6 olu baltumi vai tikai dzeltenumi. nepatīk man tās dalīto olu receptes. pēcāk kaut kas jādomā arī ar otru olu pusi.
piefiksēju šīs recepti:

American Sponge Cake
6 large eggs, separated
1 cup (200 grams) granulated white sugar, divided
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon water
Zest of 1 medium lemon
1 cup (100 grams) sifted cake flour
3/4 teaspoon cream of tartar (es piespiedu mazliet tā paša aprīvētā citrona sulas)
American Sponge Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C).
Separate the eggs while they are still cold, and cover the whites and yolks with plastic wrap to prevent a film from forming on the egg yolks and the whites from drying out. Let the yolks and whites reach room temperature before using (this will take about 30 minutes). (Having the yolks and whites at room temperature will ensure that the eggs reach their full volume when beaten.)
Meanwhile sift and measure the cake flour and then whisk the flour with 1/4 cup (50 grams) of granulated white sugar. Measure another 1/4 cup (50 grams) of granulated white sugar and set aside for beating with the egg whites.
Place the final 1/2 cup (100 grams) of granulated white sugar in your electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or use a hand mixer). Add the egg yolks and beat on high speed for about five minutes, or until they are thick, fluffy and light colored (when you slowly raise the beaters the batter will fall back into the bowl in a slow ribbon). At this point beat in the vanilla extract, water, and lemon zest. Sift the flour/sugar mixture over the batter but do not fold in. (You will fold the flour mixture into the batter along with the beaten egg whites.)
In a clean bowl, with the whisk attachment, whip the egg whites until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and continue beating until soft peaks form. Gradually add the 1/4 cup (50 grams) of granulated white sugar and continue beating until the egg whites are shiny and stiff peaks form. Gently fold a little of the whites into the batter to lighten it, and then add the rest of the whites, folding just until incorporated. Do not over mix or you will deflate the batter. Pour the batter into the tube pan, evenly spreading the cake batter with your spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 - 35 minutes or until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove from oven and immediately invert. If your tube pan does not have feet then place on top of a bottle or bowl. Cool for at least one hour before unmolding. Run a spatula or sharp knife around the inside of the pan and then remove the center core of the pan. Then run the spatula or knife along the bottom and center core of the pan. Invert the cake onto a greased wire rack.
