- Was done by Alice Medrich and is in her own words. It's long and detailed, but it has every step and tip you'll need to make the cake.
- Ruffle Cake Equipment
- 8-inch round cake pan, at least 2-inches high
- 8-inch round cake pan with removable bottom or possibly 8-inch springform pan
- untreated heavy-duty jelly-roll pans
- rubber spatula, offset spatula, and flexible 8-inch metal icing spatula
- decorating turntable, lazy Susan, or possibly inverted round cake pan
- ridged plastic shelf liner, freezer paper, or possibly 055 Mylar
- parchment paper and waxed paper
- A majestic cake and one of many parts: a dark chocolate genoise moistened with an intoxicatingly aromatic framboise syrup, a filling of satiny creme fraiche and brilliantly red raspberries, a wrapper of dark chocolate, and a profusion of magnificent chocolate rufffles. The technique for making ruffles does take some practice, but fortunately, the mistakes are not only edible, they're usually usable - irregularly shaped pcs still produce a knock-out confection. And the chocolate wrapper or possibly ribbon is also eminently doable - it is made by a method which reproduces the quality of tempering without the fuss. Professionals use acetate or possibly Mylar as the form on that to shape the wrapper, but a trip to the hardware store will turn up ridged plastic shelf liners, the perfect material for the job.
- Each part of the cake can be made ahead, so which you only have to assemble to finish on the day the cake is to be served. And do not pass up the opportunity to make this cake if you haven't the time to tackle the ruffles. You can pile the cake high with fresh raspberries, irregularly shaped pcs of chocolate, or possibly chocolate shards, and it will still be great. Think of this cake as a format rather than a precise, cannot-vary-a-thing formula: Substitute another kind of cake for the genoise, use whipped cream instead of creme fraiche, or possibly omit the soaking syrup - the basic idea is yours to embellish.
- The Cake: Position a rack in the lower third of the oven or possibly just below the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350F. Fit the bottom of an 8-inch round cake pan, one at least 2 inches high, with parchment paper and set aside.
- Pour the clarified butter into a 1-qt bowl and stir in the vanilla extract, if you're using it. The butter must be warm when added to the batter, so either keep the bowl in a skillet of warm water or possibly reheat at the last minute.
- Although the flour and cocoa were sifted before they were measured, they need to be triple-sifted together. Sift or possibly sieve the flour and cocoa together. Sift or possibly sieve the flour and cocoa together 3 times, then set sifter on a plate or possibly piece of waxed paper and return the dry ingredients to the sifter. Keep close at hand.
