Method
- Sponge
Mix all ingredients on high speed for about 6 minutes (using a whisk). Spread the batter evenly onto two 60 x 40 cm trays. Bake at 180°C for about 20 minutes.
- Poppy seed filling
Combine Milano Cream with the water and whip. Melt Arabesque Noir 58 chocolate and add it to the poppy seed filling. Add the chocolate-poppy mass to the previously prepared custard cream. Mix both masses until a uniform cream is obtained. Spread the poppy mass on the cooled sponge layer and cover with the second sponge layer.
- Fruit jelly
Boil the currants together with the orange juice and water, add Paletta Neutral Paste and bring to the boil again. Pour the fruit jelly onto the cooled sponge. Chill again.
- Custard cream
Soak the gelatine in water. Combine Milano Cream, Rosette and water and whip on high speed for about 6 minutes. Add the dissolved gelatine to the whipped cream. Spread the prepared cream on the fruit jelly. Chill.
- Glaze
Liquefy Satina Pro together with the oil. Pour over the chilled cake. Chill the whole cake.
