Cake "A la Poppy Surprise, or Poppy Puzzle"

[loeiza]

loeiza, it's great that you liked Oksanin's cake! I'm still not going to do it too. But someday I will. Bring your photos rather. How can they be inserted into a message? here.

[Oksanochka]

And I have been looking at this beauty for a long time, and so I prepared it. However, instead of poppy, I took crushed peanuts. Delicious! Thank you, Oksanochka!

Raisin, sooooo beautiful !!! But I can't make up my mind. I wonder if you can collect such a heart-shaped cake? That is, bake cakes in the shape of a heart and make a puzzle out of them? Or will it be too puzzling?

[ilonnna]

ilonnna : rose: Heart shaped will be very puzzling! You will need a heart shape of a smaller diameter, on which to put the cake, and cut a cone along it in the shape of a heart (or is this shape no longer a cone?). At first I would make a round cake to fill my hand, and then I would experiment. Although, if for yourself, why not try it right away?

[HUSKY]

What beautiful cuts !!!
I would not twist my heart. The shape will not be the same 100% If I really needed it, I would make a round one and cut out a heart shape from the finished one. BUT!!! Girls!!! I just have a cake recipe! the main thing is not braiding. AND!!! And vaasche! The puzzle is not my idea! this is an idea HUSKY! So do not forget to say thank you to her too! It's all her fault!

Oksan, I also thought that it would be easier to cut the heart out of the circle after assembly. But I still don’t dare) And about Lyuda, of course I remember, I know that she is the instigator of this thing.

For this cake, the correct cutting is important - from the center to the edge, then all the beauty is visible. And the shape of the heart cannot be cut like that, the pieces will not be complete, both outside and inside, IMHO

Finally, I had the opportunity to do it !!!! Yummy !!! This is the first cake that my husband liked, otherwise he is not like that. Yes, and my daughter already ate two pieces, although my homemade creations are not very fond of, but purchased in a bright wrapper is better
I'm carrying a cutter:



Not as neat as the ones presented above, but it was not up to neatness ... even though I managed so much, left with the speed of light !!!
The cake turned out so high (cakes in the shape of 27 cm), I could hardly cope with it until I "turned it out".

This is the first cake that my husband liked, otherwise he is not like that. Yes, and my daughter already ate two pieces, although my homemade creations are not very fond of, but purchased in a bright wrapper is better

I am very glad that the tastes of our husbands and children coincide!

Girls, tell me:
if you do not make a puzzle, but just ordinary cakes, can you do without gelatin in a cream?

If the homemade sour cream is thick and beats well, then you can do it without gelatin.

Yes, you can, if it's homemade, but the taste will not be the same

Yes? not at all the same? then I will have to risk products again, for some reason I will not make friends with gelatin in any way

Take my cutter too, poppy seeds are less than a third of the recipe, everything else is according to the recipe, very tasty and beautiful, thank you very much for such a gorgeous PUZZLE from me and my family.

Husky and I! Thank you so much for the recipe and puzzle! I have already done a puzzle with white-chocolate cakes and with and without poppy seeds, and simply without a puzzle, alternating all the layers. Everyone is delighted with both the look and taste. They even said that this is not just a homemade cake, something much higher, pros!

Hello residents of this wonderful forum! I decided to get out of the underground and put my own cut of such a wonderful cake. I baked it for the first time and both I and all my household were pleased with the result, as I baked it for my mother in the DR. Thank you very much Artisan for the recipe and Huske for a detailed MK.

I am glad that everything worked out and you were satisfied!

I liked the cake itself and the making process, Very tasty, thank you.





I only bake with whole grain flour, so the biscuit is darker

I will only note that I did not have an extra cake, so I did it simply, cut out a cone, turned it over, greased it with those two set spoonfuls of cream and inserted the cone. Then she tamped it well with her hands.

Oksana, "turned it over" means turned it over, like in a puzzle?

Yes, everything is like a puzzle, only without the bottom cake.

I liked the cake itself and the making process, Very tasty, thank you.

But the wicker itself, cream, still needs to be trained, for evenness!

Oksana or whoever else will drop by, help, please, recount the filling for the 24 cm form. I will bake vanilla biscuits in boiling water and cocoa. Luda-Huska gave a table on VNK, so I will deal with the test. Although if there is a calculation for this particular cake, I will not refuse. But what about the filling, so that it is in moderation and not a little ... biscuits, I think, should be soaked in syrup?

You know, I usually count in relation to the weight of the biscuits. In the initial version, I had 780 + 980 = 1760gr So, you bake your biscuits (since you will have vanilla boiled water, and not a simple classic one, the weight-volume ratio will be about the same) Weigh the finished biscuits and then count by proportions 1760 g - 1 portion of filling and cream X g (your weight) -? portions of filling and cream
We get your weight multiplied by 1 divided by 1760 g = coefficient by which all norms of products for cream and filling will have to be multiplied. There you get a number of the order of 0, .......

BUT! I have already concluded that the thicker the soufflé layer, the tastier, so feel free to make a little more cream and filling!

And soak the cakes !!! But not much!

Thank you dear! I got it

I'm telling you. I forgot which cakes should be more. Therefore, I baked in the form of 24 cm VK for 4 eggs and VK with cocoa for 3 eggs. The weight and height of the first is 557 g and 5.5 cm, the second - 463 g and 3.5 cm. I don't have strings, so I cut it thinner, but I didn't manage to eat the excess, everything went into the business with thick cakes. The cake turned out to be more than 10 cm high, probably closer to 12. I watched, thought and was afraid - I won't put it together, I can't bend such a height. But no matter how to assemble, because of the cut, everything was started ?! When transferred to a dish, the part that needs to be turned out fell apart into 3 parts. I, as I could, docked them, it was tense and nervous. I collected the cake, but I really did not like its appearance. I covered up the voids with pruning, and filled it with two chocolate bars. Well, wherever it went. Next morning:



Poppy, for the weight of biscuits I took 130 grams, nuts 80 grams. For my taste, poppy was too much, the rest liked it. And 350 ml of cream in a souffle was not enough for me, it all went into a layer and whipped separately for assembly without gelatin. For myself, I noted that it is necessary to make a not a tall cake and not tamp the cake too much when turning it out - then the bend will be more beautiful. I multiplied it by a factor of 0.7, but adjusted something for myself. Cake weight 2050 without chocolate.

Here's my puzzle.
Of course to the ideal Pts. far away, girls do better the first time.
It was hard to collect, finished off to the end, put together this puzzle ...
Tastes delicious .......

And now, a piece:

Good day! I also want to share my cake, only I didn’t work out a bit (not quite a clear puzzle), but still ... but it was sooo tasty, and the mommy was delighted! Thanks for the idea!

This is our first cake)

Girls, tell me, please, how to cover this cake (except for mastic) in order to put mastic figures? The cake itself will be curly and ordinary inside (we donate a beautiful cut this time).

It seems to me that it can be nicely leveled with a crumb ... and without mastic ... It also turns out beautifully

Align, okay, this is a clear matter, but what to cover from above, and even light, so that the mastic figures are friends with this coating

[Incompetent]

Incompetent, cover with cream. Smear the bottom of the mastic figures with melted chocolate and everything will hold up perfectly and not melt.

[Husky]

Husky, will butter with white chocolate be good or will it overpower the taste?

Hello! The question is ripe! The original source says that chiffon biscuits do not like "heavy" cream, they must be collected 2-3 hours before serving, they can settle, etc. But in this yummy, both poppy and cream are not light, and the assembly is sooo ahead of time .. I was at a loss ...
