Ottolenghi Louise cake with plum and coconut Recipe
Ingredients
serves 9
- 125g unsalted margarine, at room
- temperature, cut into 2cm blocks
- 100g caster sugar
- finely ground pizzazz of 1 lemon (1 tsp)
- 3 expansive egg yolks
- 125g plain flour
- 1½ tsp heating powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 20g parched coconut
- 80ml entire drain
- 1 tsp vanilla concentrate
- 5 medium dim red plums, ready yet firm (450g), or peaches, apricots, fruits, and so forth.
- meringue
- 60g chipped almonds
- 140g egg whites (from 3½ vast eggs)
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 185g caster sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla concentrate
- 1 tsp white wine vinegar
- 1 tsp cornflour
1 Preheat the stove to 170°C/150°C Fan/Gas Check 3.
2 Spread out the chipped almonds for the meringue on a preparing plate and dish for 10 minutes, until the point that they are a light brilliant dark colored. Expel from the stove and put aside to cool.
3 Increment the stove temperature to 185°C/165°C Fan/Gas Stamp 5. Line the base and sides of a high-sided 20cm square or 23cm round tin (with a removable base) with heating material.
4 Place the spread, sugar and lemon get-up-and-go in the bowl of an electric blender with the oar connection set up. Beat on a medium-rapid, until light and velvety. Include the egg yolks, each one in turn, and beat until consolidated. Filter the flour, heating powder and salt together into a bowl. Add the coconut and mix to consolidate. With the machine on a low speed, progressively add the dry fixings to the margarine blend, substituting with the drain and vanilla. Rub the player into the readied tin – it will just ascent about a fifth of the path up the sides – and smooth the best equitably. Place in the stove and cook for 25 minutes, until the point when the cake is completely cooked and a stick embedded into the middle tells the truth.
5 In the mean time, set up the plums. Cut every plum vertically fifty-fifty. Dispose of the stones and cut every half into four sections so you have eight fragments for each plum and forty portions altogether. In the event that you begin with a bigger amount of littler plums, or another littler stone organic product like fruits, at that point simply quarter each natural product.
6 When the cake is cooked, expel it from the stove and turn the temperature up to 200°C/180°C Fan/Gas Check 6. Delicately lay the plum fragments over the cake, near one another and chop side down. Try not to cover the organic product, however, as this will make the center layer excessively watery.
7 To make the meringue, put the egg whites and salt in a spotless bowl of an electric blender with the whisk connection set up. Beat on a medium-rapid for around 1 minute until the point that delicate pinnacles frame. Include the sugar, a tablespoon at any given moment, and keep on racing on a rapid until the point when the egg whites are hardened and gleaming. Include the vanilla, vinegar and cornflour and whisk again until consolidated. At long last, overlay in the toasted chipped almonds.
8 Rub the meringue into the cake tin, over the plums, and spread out uniformly over the organic product. Whirl the meringue around so you get harsh waves and pinnacles, at that point put in the stove. Instantly lower the stove temperature to 180°C/160°C Fan/Gas Stamp 4 and heat for 35 minutes, or until the point when the meringue has shaped a hard outside and is simply starting to dark colored. Expel from the stove and permit to cool in the cake tin for no less than 30 minutes before pushing up the removable base to discharge the cake. Peel away the material paper, put on a platter, and serve.
