Hi pastry lovers ! welcome to "les plaisirs sucrés d'Antoine"
I hope you're fine
today I'm goona make happy all chocolat and apricot lovers
I don't know if you remember, but when I was under the tent of the "Bake off France"
we had to make this Mercotte's technical recipe
it is the sachertorte
what is sachertorte ?
it is an assembly of a chocolate biscuit
an aprocot jam
and a chocolate ganache
I decided to glaze it with a dark chocolate mirror glaze and an orange mirror glaze
a chocolate disc on which I piped some chocolate gananche
and apricot caviar
I pull on my apron and I start the recipe
now that I'm ready I start by making the chocolate biscuit
you'll need these ingredients
it's a quite long list, but I'll go step by step
200 g of homemade almond paste
70 + 65 g of sugar
5 egg yolks
1 egg
2 egg whites
50 g of 70% dark chocolate
50 g of butter
50 g of flour
25 of bitter cocoa powder
I start by softening the almond past with microwave
when it's soft I drop it in the mixer
and I work it with sugar
with the K beater
I drop the sugar
the big amount of sugar
when the sugar is combined to the almond paste, I add the egg yolks one by one
I unstick
I ad the egg
once it is all conbined
I pour it in a bowl
so I can use my mixer again
I then whisk the egg whites with the other part of sugar
I clean my mixer's bowl and I'm back
It's now clean, I just pour the egg whites
I whisk it and I add sugar little by little
once I get soapy egg whites I leave then in the bowl
I carry on by melting the chocolate
I just drop the chocoate un a big bowl
and I melt it with microwave at low power
when it melted I add the butter
when it's combined I add a spoon of whisked egg whites
and I add the mix almond past-egg-sugar
I then sieve the flour and cocoa powder
and I combine gently
I finish by adding the rest of egg whites gently
when it's combined I pour it on baking mats
and bake it for 8 min at 180°C
I have the chance to have 2 grids and 2 baking mats
I have to manage to get at the end three 16 cm in diameter biscuits
I'm going to check the size
after 8 min the biscuit are baked
I let them cool down until assembly
I carry on with the apricot jam made with these 2 ingredients
240 g of dried apricots
25 g of apricot liqueur
I just filled in with water half of my pot
I bring it to the boil and when it boils I drop the apricots in it
and let them boil for 15 min
after 15 min I dried them
I'm gonna blend them with apricot liqueur
if you do not have liqueur you can replace it by water
once I get a jam, I pour it in a piping bag and store in the fridge
to finish I make the dark chocolate ganache with these ingredients
150 g of 70% dark chocolate
235 g of 30% whole single cream
25 g of honey
and 50 g of unsalted diced butter
I first melt the chocolate at low power with microwave
when it's melted, I pour the cream and honey in a pot and I bring it to the boil
when the cream is boiling, I pour it in 3 times over the chocolate
and I give it a stir between each addition
I pour a first third
I give it a stir
second third
and the last third
I get a ganache in which I'll add the butter when it reaches 40°C
I just added the butter and blended it to get a smooth ganache
once the ganache is done I pour it in a piping bag
I let it get harder 15 min in the fridge before starting the assembly
after 15 min I start assembly
I have my ganache here, my jam and my cold biscuits
I first cut 3 discs of biscuit
with the 16 cm in diameter tart circle
I cut inside the circle
when the are cut, I pipe some ganache
into 5 mm thickness
I let it run
you can eat the leftovers at breakfast
place it in the center
I press to make the ganache go up
I pipe some ganache again
I pipe apricot jam over it
I leave 1 cm from the edges free of jam
I place another biscuit
always leaving 1 cm from the edges so I can pipe the ganache in the gap
another layer of ganache by piping from the edges to the center
make it flat with a spoon
a new apricot jam layer
and to finish, the last biscuit
I press well to make the ganache reach the top of the edges
I put it in the freezer overnight
after a night in the freezer, it is time to decorate the entremet
I made a dark chocolate mirror glaze and a yellow one
I also did a chocolate disc on which I piped some chocolate ganache
I also make an apricot caviar
You can find all these tutorials to make all these decoration elements on my youtube channel
I put all the links in description box
I just took out and unmould the entremet
the glazes are at 37°C
I can glaze the cake
I start by the dark one
and some orange
I let it run
I cut then the drops all around
I set it on the serving place and finish the deco
I still have to set the chocolate disc
and the apricot caviar
try to place it in the middle
I then set some apricot pearls
the recipe of my sachertorte is now over
I felt like I was back under the "bake off France" tent
