How to make a biscuit cake with coulis, ganache, cream roses and chocolate decor
The day before preparing the cream and collecting the cake, we prepare Genoise chocolate biscuit .
Similarly, we prepare the classic Genoise biscuit. We use the same recipe as for the chocolate biscuit, only we replace the portion of cocoa with wheat flour. I baked a white cake on a baking sheet, and then cut out a biscuit of the size I needed with a pastry ring.
Peach coulis with lemon juice for cake
Pour gelatin with water, mix and set aside.
Set aside 4 peach slices and cut them into pieces. Boil water with sugar and the remaining peach slices for two minutes. Then, we break through the entire mixture with a submersible blender until a homogeneous consistency. Immerse the pieces of chopped peaches into the resulting mixture and boil everything together again for two minutes, turn off the heat. We wait until the contents in the saucepan reach 80-75 degrees and lower the swollen gelatin into the mixture. Stir the mixture until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Cool down to 40 degrees. Now, the peach coolie can be transferred to a confectionery ring (d = 24 cm), the bottom of which is covered with cling film. We put it in the freezer for the night.
Dark chocolate ganache
We combine invert syrup, sugar, butter, cream in a saucepan with a thick bottom and heat to 65-70 degrees. Turn off the heat and dip the chocolate pieces into the hot solution. We wait until it melts completely. Stir with a wooden spatula, cool slightly (up to 40 degrees).

Then, mix the ingredients for soaking the cakes and generously coat all the biscuit cakes with the resulting mixture.
How to assemble and decorate a biscuit cake
We put one chocolate cake on a golden stand. We apply 3 tablespoons of cream and distribute it over the cake. We put a peach coolie on top and coat it on the sides with cream, since it is smaller in diameter than the cake itself.
We spread the chocolate ganache that has reached 40 degrees on a peach coolie.
Put the second chocolate biscuit cake on top, apply the cream on top and on the sides. Smooth out the cream with a spatula.
Then, put the cake of a classic biscuit (I have it smaller) in the center, grease with cream, cover with a second cake and coat with cream on top and sides. It turns out here is such a design, as in my photo.
I usually prepare a beautiful and delicate chocolate decor
Therefore, I simply put the decor on the cake and put it away in the cold. When the decor has frozen, remove the parchment from it.
On the bottom of the cake, put a drop of melted chocolate and glue the beads.
Decorate the top of the cake with pink and blue roses and green leaves and sprinkle with colored sugar.
Lubricate the chocolate decor with golden kandurin. But, if you do not have it, then you can skip this procedure. 😉
Well, our not simple, but very tasty homemade biscuit cake is ready! It remains to wait for the appropriate moment of celebration and accept the praise of admiring guests. 🙂
