Jean Imbert gives you his recipe for Sleeping Beauty Cake!
Ingredients:
Sponge cake
200 g flour
200 g sugar
6 fresh eggs
30 g butter
Blue mascarpone cream
200 g mascarpone
300 g single cream
100 g icing sugar
Blue food colouring
1 punnet of blueberries
The recipe:
Sponge cake
Set a pan of water to boil and while it’s heating up, put the egg and sugar into a bowl and mix well. Then place the bowl over the hot pan and whisk the batter to the ribbon stage. Remove from the bain marie and continue whisking until completely cold. Gently incorporate the flour with a spatula. Grease a roasting pan with melted butter and pour mixture into it to a height of 2 cm. Smooth with the spatula and cook for 20 minutes in an oven pre-heated to 180°c.
Remove your sponge cake and allow to cool. Cut into 10 cm roundels (with a bowl for example).
Blue mascarpone cream
Incorporate the mascarpone in the single cream and whip together, adding the icing sugar and blue food colouring to form a stiff Chantilly cream, then put in a piping bag.
Assembly
Layer the sponge discs with the blue mascarpone cream and two or three blueberries and repeat 4 times, finishing off with blueberries.
