Preparation time: 30 minutes Baking time: 10 minutes Total time: 40 minutes Number of servings: 6 Ingredients: For the base: - 4 eggs - 4 tablespoons of sugar - 4 tablespoons of flour - 50 g chocolate (50% cocoa, finely grated) - 1/2 packet of saffron baking powder - 1 packet of vanilla sugar - 12 large blackberries (fresh or frozen) - 20 g brown sugar - A pinch of salt For the cream: - 1 packet of berry cream from Dr. Oetker - 200 ml milk (preferably whole for a richer taste) - 4 heaping tablespoons of powdered sugar For decoration: - 6 blackberries (for decoration) - 1 packet of cake gel (gelatin for cake) The story behind the recipe: Mini berry cream cakes are inspired by the tradition of using berries in desserts, a combination that has been loved for generations. Berries, with their intense and natural flavors, bring a touch of freshness to any dessert. This recipe is a modern reinterpretation of classic sweets, combining the fluffy texture of the base with vibrant fruit cream. Step by step: 1. Preparing the base: - Start by preheating the oven to 180°C (360°F). - In a bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar and a pinch of salt until they become a light and fluffy foam. This step will ensure an airy and delicate base. - Finely grate the chocolate and fold it into the yolk mixture. Mix well to achieve a uniform texture. - In another bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder and vanilla sugar. Add this combination to the yolks and chocolate, gently folding with a spatula. - In another container, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture, using circular motions to avoid losing air from the egg whites. 2. Baking: - Grease the aluminum molds with melted margarine to prevent sticking. - Divide the mixture into the 6 prepared molds and bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes. - Check if they are baked using the toothpick test; if it comes out clean, the bases are ready. 3. Preparing the cream: - In a bowl, combine the berry cream powder with the powdered sugar. Gradually add the milk and mix until the mixture doubles in volume and becomes airy. 4. Assembling the mini cakes: - After the bases have cooled, cut each cake into three layers. - Fill each layer with berry cream, ensuring that each bite will be rich in flavor. - Arrange the cakes on a platter, decorating each with a fresh blackberry. 5. Finalizing: - Prepare the gelatin according to the instructions on the packet and pour it over the blackberries on top for a shiny appearance. - Leave the cakes in the refrigerator for a few hours to allow the gelatin to set and the flavors to blend. Practical tips: - Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for a uniform mixture. - If you don’t have blackberries, you can use other berries, such as raspberries or strawberries, to vary the flavors. - You can experiment by adding a little vanilla extract to the fruit cream for an extra flavor boost. Frequently asked questions: - Can I use another type of milk for the cream? Yes, you can use plant-based milk, such as almond or coconut milk, but the taste will be different. - How long can I keep the mini cakes? They can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, covered with plastic wrap. Nutritional benefits: These mini cakes are a delicious and lighter option than a traditional cake. Berries are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, making them an excellent choice for a healthy dessert. Serving and combinations: These cakes pair wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a warm chocolate sauce. A fruit tea or fresh lemonade are ideal drinks to complement this dessert. I invite you to try this recipe and enjoy a sweet moment with your loved ones. It can quickly become your favorite for special occasions or simply to indulge yourself. Bon appétit!
