Chocolate
Raspberry Genoise with Chocolate Ganache Glaze
Preheat oven
to 350 degrees.
Sift together
three times and return to sifter
½ cup plus 1 tablespoon
sifted cake flour
½ cup plus 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa
Melt in a
small saucepan:
1/3 cup butter
Whisk together
in a large heatproof bowl:
6 large eggs
1 cup sugar
Set the bowl
in a skillet of barely simmering water and whisk constantly
until the egg and sugar mixture is warm to the touch.
Remove bowl from the heat and beat on high speed
until the mixture is light colored, and has tripled
in volume. In three additions, sift the flour/cocoa
mixture over the top and fold in with a rubber spatula.
Reheat the butter until it is hot and transfer
to a medium bowl. Fold into the batter with a
spatula until completely incorporated about 1-½
cups of the egg mixture along with 1 teaspoon Vanilla.
Scrape this
into the remaining egg mixture and fold in. Scrape
the batter into a parchment lined 9" spring form
pan. Bake for 30- 35 minutes or until the sides
begin to pull from the edges and the top springs back
when lightly pressed. Cool for ten minutes on
a rack. Un-mold the cake and cool completely
right side up.
When cooled,
split horizontally into two layers. To fill the
cake, spread evenly on one layer 1 cup of Davis
& Davis Raspberry
Jam. Gently place the second layer on top
of filling. Refrigerate until completely chilled,
about 35 minutes.
Chocolate
Ganache Glaze
Bring to a
boil in a small saucepan:
¾ cup heavy cream
Remove from
the heat and add:
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
Stir until
most of the chocolate is melted. Cover and let
stand for 10 minutes. Stir or whisk very gently
until completely smooth. Let stand at room temperature
stirring occasionally until the mixture cools to a thick
pour able consistency.
Place a wire
rack over a cookie sheet. Place Raspberry
Jam filled cake onto rack and slowly pour the chocolate
ganache glaze over the cake, allowing the glaze to run
over the sides to completely cover cake. Let
stand till glaze has firmed. Enjoy.
Note:
You may use any Davis & Davis Gourmet Foods
Jams in this
recipe. We love the Very
Berry Jam, the Blackberry
Jam, and the Strawberry
Pineapple Jam used in this recipe. It's hard
to decide which one is the best.
Cheese
Cake Squares
Ingredients:
Crust:
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt (optional)
- 1 cup chilled butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 teaspoon ice water
Filling:
Preheat oven
to 350 degrees. Grease a 9X13 inch pan.
For the crust:
Place flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor
and pulse. Add butter and continue to
pulse until the dough begins to form a ball, add the
ice water if needed to pull together the dough.
Press the dough mixture over the bottom of the prepared
pan. Bake approximately 20 minutes until the
crust is just lightly brown. Let cool for 35-40
minutes.
Prepare the
filling while the crust is cooling. Using a mixer, combine
the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until well blended.
Do not over mix. Add the eggs one at a
time mixing until each egg is incorporated. Pour
this mixture over the cooled crust. Using a tablespoon,
dollop the Davis
& Davis Wild Blueberry Jam on top of the filling.
Using a knife, swirl to create a marbled effect.
Bake for approximately
40-45 minutes or until the center is set. Allow
to cool completely before serving. Once cooled,
we like to chill the entire pan before cutting into
squares.
NOTE:
You can use any one of Davis
& Davis Gourmet Foods Jams to create
this recipe. We even like it with our Pumpkin
Butter for a true Harvest Time treat.
