With lemon

Another cake with bright citrus taste going from lemon sponge cake and lemon mousse.

Professional confectioners cover mousse cakes with a velor layer of chocolate or mirror glaze.

  • You can purchase ready-made velor spray. A 400 ml can is enough for 6-8 medium-sized cakes. Unfortunately, this is not a cheap pleasure.
  • Another option: prepare the mixture yourself and spray it with a spray gun. The mixture is prepared from white chocolate and butter, just melt 50 g of each.
  • To prepare the mirror glaze, you only need a spoon of gelatin and a cake stand. This coating option is much easier to reproduce in a home kitchen.

Additionally, the cake can be decorated:

  • fresh berries and pieces of fruit;
  • gelatin dummies;
  • pasta;
  • soft candies;
  • meringues;
  • chocolate toppers and so on.

Making a mousse cake is similar to arranging a bouquet. Need to find harmonious combination flavors and textures, making the dessert interesting and rich, without losing a sense of proportion. Thinking through and carefully executing the decor is an equally exciting and important task.

I remember I promised you the recipe for mousse cake a long time ago, and now it’s happened, I finally got around to it! The dessert seems so weightless (that’s all its cunning! :) that on big company or a family of cake may indeed not be enough! It literally melts in your mouth, leaving a delicate aftertaste of creamy mousse and peach confiture. Yes, I also want to draw your attention to universal vanilla sponge cake, which you can take as a basis “in any unclear situation” :)

The recipe for mousse cake is quite simple and does not require special professional skills, but the assembly, perhaps, needs to be paid a little more attention; the process is still painstaking, but again, nothing complicated.

Speaking of confiture (a layer of jelly on top, which, if desired, you can also “put” between the vanilla cakes): it can be made from any fruit or berries, fresh or canned, from which a homogeneous puree is best obtained. I used peaches, seasonal berries (strawberries, blueberries, currants) are also ideal, you can use frozen cherries, canned pineapples, pears, apricots, mangoes in the end! :)

In general, if you prefer unusual cakes, light as a cloud in texture and appreciate the combination tender cream and the freshness of fruity sour notes, then this mousse cake recipe will definitely come in handy!

Universal vanilla sponge cake deserves special attention: Despite the simplicity of preparation (there are no separately whipped 6 egg whites:) it always turns out fluffy, tall and very aromatic. Using the same recipe, you can safely prepare muffins and “quick” pies with fruits or berries. The smell is crazy creamy vanilla! And if you’re not lazy and wrap the cooled biscuit in film and put it in the refrigerator overnight (so that all the moisture remains inside and the taste becomes even more intense), you’ll simply get great result. By the way, such a biscuit can be easily stored in a cold place for up to 5 days in film or in a container.

Mousse cake recipe: vanilla sponge cake, fruit confiture, creamy mousse

Ingredients for the sponge cake (for an 18-20 cm pan):

  • flour premium– 180 g;
  • sugar – 200-230 g;
  • eggs – 2 pcs;
  • melted butter – 50 g;
  • milk – 65 ml;
  • baking powder – 5 g;
  • /vanillin - to taste.

Ingredients for mousse:

  • cream from 33% - 700 ml;
  • sugar – 150-200 g (or to taste);
  • egg yolks (raw) – 3 pcs;
  • water (for syrup) – 30 ml;
  • sugar (for syrup) – 70-80 g;
  • powdered gelatin (NON-instant) – 17-20 g;
  • syrup/juice from fruits used in confiture * (to soak gelatin) – 40-50 ml.

* We use syrup or juice to give light mousse fruity shade; You can also use water.

Ingredients for jam-jelly:

  • fruits or berries (I have canned peaches) – 500 g;
  • syrup (boil or use ready-made fruit) – 250 ml;
  • gelatin – 15 g.

Additionally:

Leave a little syrup from fruits or berries for soaking cakes.

Preparation:

Korzhi:

Sift the flour and mix with baking powder.

Beat eggs with sugar thick foam(this is important, beat for 2-3 minutes until doubled in volume).

TO egg mixture add melted butter, milk, mix with a whisk or spatula. Then add sifted flour to the mixture in portions, mix gently with a mixer at low speed. You don’t need to beat for a long time so that the dough doesn’t “sink.”

Cover the form with parchment and pour the dough. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 50-60 minutes. Check readiness with a skewer.

Remove the cake from the oven, let it cool slightly, first in the mold, then (after removing it from the mold) on a wire rack, turning it upside down.

After cooling, cut into 2 parts.

Mousse:

Soak the gelatin powder in syrup/juice or water until it swells for 30-40 minutes.

Whip the cream (it should be well cooled), adding sugar in portions, until stable peaks form. Yes, a large volume will have to be whipped longer than usual (6-8 minutes). Whipped cream can be stored in the refrigerator for a while.

Combine water and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil, reduce heat and cook until “thin thread” for 3-5 minutes to get syrup.

Beat the yolks. In the middle of the process, add hot (immediately from the heat!) sugar syrup in portions. Beat for a couple more minutes until fluffy.

Heat the gelatin (it should swell, having absorbed all the liquid) in the microwave for 30 seconds (or on the stove, but be sure not to BOIL, otherwise it will lose its properties).

Combine gelatin and yolks, cool.

Gently add the yolk “cream” into the whipped cream, stir with a whisk or spatula until smooth.

To prevent the mousse from hardening ahead of time, do not put it in the refrigerator and stir periodically!

Jelly confiture:

Soak gelatin in syrup, taking from specified quantity 100-150 ml. Leave for 30-40 minutes until swelling.

Puree the fruits in a blender until smooth with the remaining syrup.

Heat the swollen gelatin (DO NOT boil!) until completely dissolved and combine with the resulting fruit puree.

While the cake is being assembled, stir the confiture periodically to prevent it from hardening.

Mousse cake recipe: assembly

Let me note right away: you can use jelly confiture to decorate the top of the cake (as in the photo). The second option (I also do this quite often) is to make a layer of confiture directly between the cakes**. I practice both options.

So, to assemble (as in the photo) the mousse cake, take a springform pan ABOUT larger size than cakes. For example, if the cakes are 20 cm, then the shape should ideally be 24 cm.

Cover the bottom of the pan with parchment and place the cake in the middle SO that there is an equal distance to the edges of the pan on all sides (empty space).

Soak the cake with syrup from the berries or fruits used (watering a little with a spoon or using a brush).

Pour mousse on top until it completely fills the voids and covers the cake (about half of the mousse should be left, but no more). Place the mold in the refrigerator for 30 minutes until the mousse hardens.

Then place the second cake on top (like the first, exactly in the middle, so that the same distance remains on all sides to the edges), soak it again in syrup. Fill with the remaining mousse (the cake should be completely covered with mousse). Place back in the refrigerator until set.

As soon as the mousse “sets”, pour fruit jam on top and put it in the refrigerator for several hours until completely set.

** Yes, if you make a layer of confiture between the cakes (put the cake, pour it in, wait for it to harden, put the second cake on top), then you can use a springform pan of the same size as the cakes. It will be more convenient this way. In this case, the entire mousse is poured over both cake layers. And for this I advise you to use b ABOUT a larger form by shifting the “blank” 2 cakes with confiture in the same way: in the middle of the form, leaving equal distances to the edges of the form on all sides. Afterwards you should wait until the mousse hardens completely. In this case, the top of the cake can be decorated with pieces of fruit, berries, and mint leaves.

To remove the cake from the mold, just run a damp sharp knife along the side. Afterwards, carefully and without sudden movements, open the form. Please note that the cake must “set” well before this (in the refrigerator for at least 5 hours!).

Mousse cake with mirror glaze prepared according to this recipe is tender and very light in taste. The dessert consists of three layers of contrasting colors. The base of the cake is thin, richly soaked chocolate sponge cake. Next comes neutral white layer consisting of cream and curd cheese. And the “composition” is completed by an elegant and brightest-tasting blueberry mousse.

As a final touch, the three-color layers are filled with shiny and beautiful glaze, thanks to which the dessert does not even require additional decor - the cake becomes spectacular due to its smooth and reflective surface. Strictly, concisely and tastefully! We are sure you will be satisfied with the result! So, we carefully study the technology and prepare a mousse cake according to the recipe with step by step photos.

Ingredients:

For the biscuit:

  • eggs - 2 pcs.;
  • flour - 50 g;
  • cocoa powder - 10 g;
  • sugar - 80 g;
  • baking powder - 1/3 teaspoon.

For impregnation:

  • drinking water - 40 ml;
  • sugar - 40 g;
  • cognac or any liqueur (optional) - 1-2 teaspoons.

For the creamy mousse:

  • cream (33-35%) - 250 ml;
  • cream cheese(curd, without additives) - 190 g;
  • sugar - 3 tbsp. spoons;
  • vanilla sugar - 8 g;
  • powdered gelatin - 6 g.

For the blueberry mousse:

  • blueberries (frozen will do) - 400 g;
  • cream (33-35%) - 250 ml;
  • sugar - 100 g;
  • powdered gelatin - 8 g.

For mirror glaze:

  • dark chocolate - 40 g;
  • cocoa powder - 60 g;
  • drinking water - 100 ml;
  • sugar - 190 g;
  • cream (from 30%) - 60 ml;
  • powdered gelatin - 9 g.
  1. The first layer of our mousse cake with mirror glaze will be a sponge cake. To make it, beat the eggs together with sugar until the sugar grains are thoroughly dissolved and the volume of the mass increases.
  2. Separately combine the remaining ingredients: flour, cocoa and baking powder. After sifting, gradually add the dry mixture to the beaten eggs, thoroughly stirring the mixture from bottom to top. We achieve a completely homogeneous and uniformly chocolate-colored dough.
  3. We will bake the sponge cake and then form the cake in springform with a diameter of 22 cm. For convenience, cover the bottom with parchment, lightly rub the walls with butter, and then put the prepared biscuit dough. Distribute the mixture in an even layer.
  4. Bake the biscuit in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for about 15-20 minutes (until dry). The cake layer for a mousse cake with mirror glaze should be thin (no more than 1 cm high) and smooth, without a convex top. If necessary, carefully trim the excess part with a knife.
  5. Wash and wipe dry the springform pan in which the sponge cake was prepared. We lay the walls of the container parchment paper. Place completely cooled on the bottom sponge cake. To soak the sugar, pour boiling water over it and stir until the grains dissolve. Cool the sweet liquid and combine with cognac, soak the baked goods.

    How to make a creamy layer for a mousse cake with mirror glaze

  6. Now prepare the creamy mousse for the cake. Keep classic cream cheese (without any additives) at room temperature until it softens, and then mix with 2 tablespoons of sugar. Beat the mixture until fluffy and granulated sugar dissolves.
  7. In a separate bowl, beat the heavily chilled cream with vanilla sugar and 1 tbsp. regular spoon. As soon as the creamy mass thickens, mix it with cheese. We work with the mixer for literally another 10-20 seconds, combining the components into a homogeneous cream.
  8. Soak gelatin in 50 ml of pre-boiled cold water. Leave to swell for the time specified by the manufacturer on the packaging.
  9. We heat the swollen mass in any convenient way (the main thing is not to boil!). You can use a “water bath” microwave or simply place the gelatin container in a larger bowl filled with hot water. Actively stirring, we achieve complete dissolution of the powder.
  10. After cooling slightly, pour the gelatin mass in a thin stream into butter cream, intensively and continuously stirring the mousse with a spoon or using a mixer. Pour the mixture onto the sponge cake, level the surface and put the two-layer workpiece in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours (until the light mousse has completely hardened).

    How to make a blueberry layer for a mousse cake with mirror glaze

  11. When the creamy mousse hardens, prepare the third layer of cake. After defrosting all the blueberries, puree them using an immersion blender.
  12. Carefully grind the resulting berry mass through a fine sieve. Liquid part We will use it to make mousse. The cake remaining on the sieve will not be useful for the recipe (you can then cook compote from this mass).
  13. Beat cold cream with sugar until thickened.
  14. Add blueberry juice and beat until the cream is evenly colored.
  15. Dissolve gelatin in 60 ml of cold, boiled water. Next, we proceed as when working with creamy mousse- let the mass swell and warm it up. Add the gelatin mixture into the cream while whisking continuously. Pour the blueberry mousse into the mold with the biscuit and cream mixture, level it and put it in the refrigerator until the final layer hardens.

    How to make mirror glaze for mousse cake

  16. For gelatin glaze, pour 75 ml of water. Pour the sugar into a small saucepan and add the sifted cocoa powder.
  17. Pour cream and 100 ml of water into the dry mixture. Stirring all the time, bring the glaze to a boil and remove from the stove. Immediately add the chocolate chunks, actively stirring the mass and ensuring that the chocolate clots are completely dissolved.
  18. Heat the swollen gelatin until dissolved and add it to chocolate glaze, mix. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve and cool.
  19. From the frozen and cooled mousse cake, remove the split side of the mold and carefully separate the parchment.
  20. To make it more convenient to apply the glaze, place our dessert on a wire rack and place a large plate underneath. Completely cover the cake with the mirror chocolate mixture. The remaining glaze that has drained onto a plate can be collected, strained and, if necessary, poured over the cake again, or simply transferred to a convenient container, put in the refrigerator and later used to cover other desserts.
  21. Transfer the mousse cake with mirror glaze to a plate and put it in the refrigerator. As soon as the glossy surface hardens, you can serve the dessert to the table.

In cross-section, a three-color mousse cake with mirror glaze looks very impressive! Bon appetit!

Break the biscuits into small pieces and grind in a blender into crumbs. Butter heat to room temperature, transfer to a bowl. Add biscuit crumbs and using a mixer, beat into a homogeneous mass.

Cut out of parchment a circle with a diameter of 24 cm and a strip 2.5 cm wider than the height of the mold, and 1 cm longer than the length of its side.

Place the parchment in the mold. Spread the biscuit mixture into the bottom of the pan in an even layer and press lightly with your hands. Place the mold in the refrigerator and let cool.

Soak the gelatin for 5 minutes. V warm water. Pour a third of the amount of cream into a saucepan and heat without bringing to a boil. Remove from heat. Squeeze out the gelatin and add to the cream. Stir and let cool to room temperature.

Remove the form from the refrigerator. Sour cream, sugar, orange zest and beat the juice with a mixer. Add cream with gelatin. Whip the remaining cream into a thick foam and carefully fold into the mousse. Mix carefully and pour into the mold.
