Best 7 Genoise With Raspberry Curd Filling Recipes

GENOISE WITH RASPBERRY CURD FILLING

Steps:

• Make the cakes: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter two 8-by-2-inch round baking pans; line bottoms with parchment paper rounds. Butter parchment; dust pans with flour, tapping out excess.
• In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat until nut-brown in color, about 8 minutes. Remove pan from heat and pour butter into a large bowl, leaving behind any burned sediment; stir in vanilla and keep warm (110 to 120 degrees). Wipe out saucepan.
• Fill the same saucepan with a few inches of water and bring to a simmer. Lightly whisk together eggs and superfine sugar in a heatproof standing mixer bowl. Set bowl over (not in) simmering water, and whisk until superfine sugar dissolves and mixture is lukewarm to the touch.
• Attach bowl to standing mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and whisk on high speed until light, airy, and quadruple in volume, at least 5 minutes. Whisk 1 cup egg mixture into warm butter mixture.
• Sift together flour and cornstarch. Gently and quickly fold half the flour mixture into remaining egg mixture until combined, then repeat with remaining flour mixture. Gently fold in butter mixture, then divide between prepared baking pans.
• Transfer pans to oven and bake until golden brown and edges begin to pull away from the sides, about 25 minutes. (Avoid opening oven door during baking, as cakes are fragile and may collapse.) Remove cakes from oven and unmold immediately onto a wire rack to cool completely.
• Make the raspberry curd filling: In a small food processor, puree raspberries until smooth.
• Whisk together granulated sugar and cornstarch in a medium saucepan. Whisk in zest and egg yolks, then whisk in lemon juice and salt. Add butter and place pan over medium-high heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until butter has melted, small bubbles form around the edge of the pan, and mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon and becomes clear, about 5 minutes.
• Remove pan from heat. Whisk in raspberry puree. Strain mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a glass bowl. Press plastic wrap directly onto surface of curd and refrigerate until cool, about 30 minutes.
• Assemble the cake: Using a serrated knife, halve each cooled cake horizontally to form 2 layers. Place 1 layer on a cake turntable or serving platter; spread a scant 1/2 cup curd on top. Set another cake layer on top, and repeat process with remaining curd and cake layers. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Make the whipped cream: Whisk cream and confectioners' sugar to soft peaks. Spread entire cake with whipped cream, smoothing the top and sides. Top with raspberries, if desired.

GENOISE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease one 8 inch round cake pan. Line with parchment paper and grease it as well. Lightly flour pan and paper.
• Sift together the flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, and salt onto a piece of wax paper.
• Place the eggs into a mixing bowl set over a pan of hot (not boiling) water. Add the 1/2 cup sugar to the eggs and whisk until the mixture feels warm (not hot) to the touch, about body temperature. Place the bowl onto a mixer and beat on medium speed until the mixture becomes pale yellow in color and falls off the end of the whisk attachment in long ribbons. Add the vanilla. Add about 1/3 of the flour mixture to the beaten egg and fold in. Continue to add the remainder of the flour, folding it in each time.
• Place about 1 cup of the batter into the bowl containing the melted butter and combine the butter with the batter. Add this back to the main batter and fold it in. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
• Immediately bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 25 minutes or until the top is a light brown. Cool in pan on a rack about 10 minutes and then invert onto a rack. It is best to invert it again onto another rack so that it cools with the top up. Let cool completely before cutting or frosting.
