Yogurt Cream and Jam Cake

To prepare a delicious and refined dessert, we start with the preparation of the base. This is a crucial step, as the base will form the foundation of our cake. In a large bowl, we carefully separate the 8 eggs, ensuring that the yolks do not come into contact with the egg whites. The egg whites are beaten with a mixer at high speed until they form a firm foam, and when we turn the bowl upside down, the foam should remain firm.

In another bowl, we beat the yolks with sugar until we obtain a creamy and light-colored mixture. It is important for the sugar to dissolve completely, so that the final texture is smooth. Then, using a spatula, we carefully start to incorporate the beaten egg whites into the yolk mixture, using slow and circular movements to avoid losing air from the mixture. Finally, we gradually add the sifted flour, mixing gently until everything is homogeneous. The resulting mixture is poured into a baking tray lined with parchment paper and baked in a preheated oven at moderate heat for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. After baking, we let the base cool completely.

While the base is cooling, we take care of the creams. We start with cream 1: we dissolve the gelatin in a little cold water and let it sit for about 10 minutes. After this time, we gently heat it over the fire, being careful not to boil it. In another bowl, we mix the yogurt with the sugar, and when the gelatin is completely dissolved, we add it to the yogurt mixture. Finally, we gently fold in the whipped cream, mixing with delicate movements to preserve the air in the mixture.

For cream 2, we repeat the process of dissolving the gelatin in cold water. Meanwhile, we put the fruit jam with a little water on the heat, letting it become more liquid. After the gelatin has dissolved, we add it to the warm jam and mix well. We let the mixture reach room temperature, and then we fold in the whipped cream.

After the base has cooled completely, we cut it into three equal parts. Each layer is generously soaked with a syrup made from water and sugar or with the juice from a compote, to add moisture and flavor. Then, we start filling each layer with cream 1, followed by cream 2. We continue this process until all layers are completed. Finally, we decorate the cake as desired, using fresh fruits, grated chocolate, or coconut flakes for an attractive appearance. This refined cake will surely impress with its rich taste and light texture, making it perfect for any special occasion.
