Chocolate Orange Macaroon Torte
by Annie Bell from Annie Bell鈥檚 Baking Bible (Kyle Books)
听
Here, a lovely chewy macaroon forms a base for the chocolate cream above.听 A drop of liqueur underlines the orange, but if you鈥檙e planning to dish this up to children, you could forego this.
听
Makes 1 x 20cm cake
听
Prep time 20-30 mins
Cooking time 20 mins + half day / overnight chilling.
听
Ingredients
For the base
2 medium eggs whites
50g light muscovado sugar
100g ground almonds
100g icing sugar, sifted
听
For the chocolate mousse
200g dark chocolate, 50% cocoa solids, broken into pieces
2 medium organic eggs
25g golden caster sugar
finely grated zest of 1 orange
250ml whipping cream
2 tbsp orange-flavoured liqueur, such as Cointreau or Grand Marnier
听
Kit
20cm non-stick cake tin with a removable base, 5-6cm deep
Electric whisk
听
Little Extras
Unsalted butter for greasing
Chocolate shavings for decorating (optional)
听
Method
Preheat the oven to 170C/150C fan/Gas 3 & butter the base of a 20cm non-stick cake tin with a removable base 5-6cm deep.听 Place the egg whites & light muscovado sugar in a medium sized bowl & whisk for a couple of minutes, using an electric whisk, until very pale & doubled in volume. Combine the ground almonds & icing sugar in a separate bowl & fold into the egg white mixture in two batches.
听
Spoon into the prepared tin, levelling out the surface, & bake for 20 mins until firm & lightly coloured. Leave to cool.
听
To make the mousse, gently melt the chocolate in large-ish bowl set over a pan with a little simmering water in it. Set aside to cool to room temperature 鈥� you can transfer it to a cool bowl to speed up the process if you wish.
听
Place the eggs, sugar & orange zest in a separate bowl & whisk for a couple of mins using an electric whisk until pale & doubled in volume. In another bowl, whisk the cream, using clean beaters, until it forms soft fluffy peaks. Carefully fold the egg & sugar mixture into the cooled chocolate, followed by the cream in two batches. Stir in the liqueur.
听
Smooth over the macaroon base & decorate the edge with chocolate shavings if you wish.
听
Cover & chill for half a day or overnight until set. To serve, run a knife around the collar of the tin to remove it, & cut into slices.
