Cooking method

• The name of the German writer Thomas Mann is on everyone's lips. But lately, you rarely meet a person who would be well acquainted with his work. At the same time, in 1929, the author was awarded the Nobel Prize for the novel "Buddenbrooks" about a merchant family of more than 1000 pages.
• The publication of the novel was a great literary event. But the inhabitants of the city of Lübeck, where the writer was born in 1885 into the family of a respected large merchant and senator, were not up for jubilation. They hardly tried to maintain peace of mind behind the facades of their noble patrician houses, because a deserter and a traitor, "who escaped from the arrest of his cramped hometown," who betrayed his origin, had knowledge of the burgher environment from within, which gave his novel the significance of a chronicle. And this was no longer just a literary work, but an exposure of reality, which it was impossible not to take seriously. The people in the characters recognized themselves.
• The offended residents of Lubeck, only 3 months before the death of Thomas Mann in May 1955, were honored to recognize him as an honorary citizen of their city. Well, how did the escaped writer still achieve something in life, eventually began to lead a respectable lifestyle, and the market value of the Nobel Prize in terms of marks and pfennig was far from small!
• It cannot be said that the writer returned to normal, but the conduct of a "decent - bourgeois life" gave him confidence. Although the worm of "remorse of a bourgeois conscience" apparently sometimes tormented the writer who had achieved universal recognition, which broke out periodically in his statements: "An artist is always internally sufficiently adventurous. In the end, you can dress well, damn it, and behave like a decent person. . " Contrary to his unconventional inclinations, Thomas Mann in 1905 married the beautiful, intelligent and decent Kate Pringsthaum, who bore him six children, and settled in a new respectable home.
• Everything in his family was very sophisticated, including the appropriate food. Although the owner had been complaining of pains in the stomach and intestines all his life, he tried to fight them with the help of good food. The breakfast described in his diaries included an appetizer, milk noodles, stir-fries, cheese, and strawberries. But the recordings were only about a small snack. Now it is clear why Thomas Mann was called "the gourmet of the writing desk" - "delicious texts" were combined with delicious feasts. I think that he would have received the approval of the Hanseatic ancestors who loved good and satisfying food depicted in his novel.
• In Buddenbrooks, Thomas Mann also describes the delicious Plettenpudding, "its multi-layered concoction of macaroons, raspberries, biscuit and buttercream."
• Let's try and join the cuisine of the German merchants of the beginning of the last century, having prepared this delicious delicacy.
• 
• Sponge cake for the base.
• - We prepare a biscuit in the usual way according to the composition given above in the recipe, or do, as I did, bake a cake from my favorite dough.
• I give a link to it:
• Cake "Agricultural Production Cooperative" (LPG Kuchen)
• I highly recommend this dough. It does not get wet, keeps its shape well, absorbs impregnation and is very tasty. Adding spelled flour gives it a nutty flavor. If there is no spelled flour, then you can make this dough from a simple one, you will also get a good result. With this dough recipe, dessert can be made in advance. With a simple biscuit, I would not recommend doing it, it seems to me that it can get too wet.
• After all, if you serve dessert in glasses, then you can use delicious ready-made cookies.
• This will be the basis for the dessert in the form of a cake or crumb for serving in portions.
• Cooking almond cakes
• - Chop the almonds well with one teaspoon of sugar in a food processor, beat the proteins with sugar until hard peaks, gently mix the almonds and whipped proteins. Put small cakes on a baking sheet on a non-stick mat or paper and bake in an oven preheated to 160 g until a pleasant beige color.
• Cooking delicious butter cream
• - Soak the gelatin plates in a small amount of boiled cold water for 10 minutes.
• - In a water bath, beat the yolks, the contents of the vanilla pod (vanilla sugar) and one protein until fluffy. Continuing to beat, add the soaked gelatin until it is completely dissolved. Do not bring the temperature of the mixture above 80 g. Put it out in the cold under the lid until it cools completely. The mass should begin to set, but not completely freeze.
• 
• 
• Whisk the chilled cream into a dense mass. Combine whipped cream and egg mixture. Knead well, trying not to sediment.
• 
• We collect dessert
• - At the bottom of the serving form, place a biscuit cake or biscuit crumbs and sprinkle with syrup.
• - Then we spread a layer of cream, fresh berries on it, cover them with a layer of cream, then decorate with almond cakes. Layers can be repeated.
• Since it is not easy to find fresh raspberries in winter, or prices bite, it is quite possible to replace them with frozen ones, which I did.
• And for completeness of happiness and taste, I prepared jelly and syrup for impregnation from thawed juice. The thawed raspberries, which preserved their integrity, were partially used in the layer and for decoration. From the rest I made jelly, adding a little jam syrup.
• - Decorate the dessert with berries on top and set in the cold to solidify for at least four hours.
• That is, the dessert can be served in the form of a cake or portioned in glasses.
• That's how I quickly put together a mini cake for a gift in portions. The jelly was made in the evening, the cream is fresh, the biscuit is now not translated, I even freeze it just in case. I just had to quickly organize a small cake.
• I cut out the jelly and cake from the blanks. Soaked the cake. She put raspberry jelly on top.
• 
• 
• Then came a layer of berries and cream, which is applied to the upper level of the mold with a small spatula. Leave it in the refrigerator until it solidifies.
• Then she removed it from the mold: turned it over, spread the film and gently squeezed it out of the mold, pressing on the cake. Then she turned it over again and garnished it with almond cakes and berries.
• 
• I made desserts in glasses for the family from the remains of jelly, cake and cream.
• This is delicious!!! Divine! I can imagine how it will be with fresh summer berries.

Note

She made the dessert two times: once in the form of a cake, the second served in portions after making a small cake.

I will make a recipe for a cake based on Plettenpudding separately and will exhibit it with pleasure soon.

All I can say is that the ingredients are all very well combined and I'm afraid someone might be tempted to use ready-made peanut macaroons. This can only be done with a great love for peanuts in confectionery. I somehow prefer salted peanuts. What to replace? Need to think...
But any berries can be used, but the aroma of raspberries should be present at least in the impregnation.

Well, in general, I went to read Heinrich ...Oh, just kidding, just kidding! Reread Thomas Mann!

[Raduska!]

Raduska! My flower! What are you doing ?! Before this topic of yours, I loved the "Buddenbrooks" completely disinterestedly, pure and ardent love! And now I must also love what they are gobbled up overeat - opposed at their Lucullus feasts! And instead of getting into the very essence of their relationship, I now have to blow bubbles over the description of the dishes with which their table was filled! Now it will be impossible to pass by!
Well, do not feel sorry for me ... Have pity, at least, my diet!
It’s impossible to look at this feast of taste and beauty without trembling!
And, the photo is again from the Dutch series? I would gobble up a photo, for lack of pudding!

[Mikhaska]

Mikhaska, I was so deeply moved by your address "flower" that I forgot all the words and even a tear came, because sometimes my grandmother called me that.

[Raduska!]

Raduska! My flower! What are you doing ?! Before this topic of yours, I loved the "Buddenbrooks" completely disinterestedly, pure and ardent love! And now I must also love what they are gobbled up overeat - opposed at their Lucullus feasts! And instead of getting into the very essence of their relationship, I now have to blow bubbles over the description of the dishes with which their table was filled! Now it will be impossible to pass by!

============================
And if without jokes ... You are a master, Olenka!
Thank you!

What are you doing to me !? I kind of calmed down, aimed at something else!
After your emotional speech, I looked at the dessert in a new way! He is no longer there, but again we wanted so much that we ourselves would gobble up the glasses!

I'll go and smell a glass, maybe it still smells like raspberries!

And in general, I wrote that I was going to reread the novel, and now, how you, my joy, will perceive everything through the prism, so to speak, of their feasts!
Okay, I'll go eat some fat, maybe it'll feel better, the main thing is that, like the same Senator James from the novel (I don't remember his last name), I don't get stuck from, to put it mildly, overeating.

[I'm glad!]

Mellendorf is his last name, I'm glad! He had diabetes, (at their times it was called sugar disease).

sometimes my grandmother called me that.

So I have already been like a grandmother for six months! And now I have my own flower!

Look you! I saw my pizza! You sit high - you look far away! My Masha with the bears!

[Mikhaska]

Mikhaska, thanks for the tip, you need to reread, otherwise I read everything basic practically in infancy, so now everything is perceived differently!
And the pizza, yes, such a beauty is enticing, as you can not see it, I will also unsubscribe about it.
My mother-in-law makes a magic eggplant pie, now we will try pizza, since everyone already has Princesses in the family!

[Olenka!]

Try it, Olenka! I'm bastard about that dough, maybe that's why I can bake them with it ... there was a little hitch at the beginning ... But, I overcame it. The girls helped a lot with advice!

let's live in one place!

Okay. Girls this looks like a toast!

Here I also love raspberries! We will arrange holidays more often to taste all the desserts!

[Ludmila]

Ludmila, much more often))))) every day 10-ke yummies on the site! soon it is necessary to blindfold, the benefit of them does not get fat!

Olenka, recipe sweet, bright

Taking off my hat! Both the story and the recipe are great! It was read out to the point of insanity, honestly! Zdoroooooo !!!!!!!!!!!!!

And here I am ashamed! Because I have not read the Buddenbrooks. Asked! I haven't read it !!!!
And I would never have seen this dessert, if not for Olya Tortyk, although it looks amazing in a glass!
