PREPARATION
SPONGE CAKE
- Warm the eggs at room temperature. Line the bottom of the baking tin with a diameter of 25 - 26 cm with a baking paper disc. Preheat the oven to 170 degrees C.
- Separate the whites from the yolks. Beat the egg whites until stiff, then gradually add fine sugar, 1 tablespoon each, whisking constantly. Finally, the foam should be thick and stiff. After adding sugar, beat the foam for about 2 minutes until it is shiny. Add one yolk (7 pieces in total), whisking each addition all the time. After adding the yolks, beat the mixture for about 3 minutes.
- Sift the potato and wheat flour into a separate bowl. Add 1/3 of the obtained mixture to the beaten eggs (also through a strainer) and gently mix with a spatula or mix briefly (preferably mix a little and stir a little). Add the rest of the mixture and mix with a spatula or mix briefly at low speed of the mixer until the ingredients are combined. Put into the prepared form and put in the oven.
- Bake for 25 minutes . Remove immediately and set vigorously on the table. Completely cool.
MERINGUE
- Preheat the oven to 170 degrees C. Pour the egg whites into a clean bowl and beat with a mixer until stiff. Then add a spoonful of fine sugar, whisking constantly. After the added sugar, beat the egg whites for about 2 minutes. Finally, add the potato flour and mix for several seconds until the ingredients combine.
- Bottom to the mold (without rim) with a diameter of Line 25 cm with a baking paper disc. Put the meringue on it, bake for 20 minutes , then reduce the temperature to 100 degrees C and bake for another 20 minutes . Remove and cool.
STRAWBERRIES
- Wash the strawberries, dry them, tear off the stalks, cut them into slices, put them in a pot, add amaretto and bring to a boil. Cook for about 8 minutes on a slightly higher heat until the strawberries are tender, start to fall apart and form a thick juice. Add (preferably through a sieve) the potato flour, mix and bring to a boil, cool.
NUT CREAM
- Put peanut butter, coffee, butter cut into pieces and powdered sugar into a bowl. Beat for about 2-3 minutes until the mass is lighter and puffed up. Add mascarpone and honey, mix for about 1 minute until the cream is fluffy and thick.
WHITE TRUFFLE CREAM
- Melt the chocolate in a water bath and mix it with the mascarpone warmed at room temperature (be sure to follow the following procedure: add mascarpone spoonfuls to the melted chocolate, stirring vigorously with a spoon each time). Whip the cream together with the powdered sugar until stiff. Add it to the chocolate mass in 3 batches, stirring gently with a spoon each time.
SOAK AND ADDITIVES
- Cut the sponge cake into 2 tops (the bottom one may be a little thicker). Place the bottom plate on a plate, sprinkle with half a lemon and half of the Malibu. Pour the strawberries and then 3/4 of the cream white truffle. Place the second disc, soak again with half a lemon and Malibu, add peanut butter cream and sprinkle it with 1 teaspoon of instant coffee granules.
- Brush the sides of the cake with the rest of the white cream and put the meringue on top. Put in the fridge for about 3 hours. Before serving, cover the sides with coffee beans.
TIPS
- * You can use frozen strawberries (250 g) or simply replace them with strawberry jam spread directly on the countertop, without any additives.
- You can bake the sponge cake the day before and keep it covered.
- I used vanilla-flavored instant coffee and salted and sweetened peanut butter. I also recommend buying fine sugar
