Preparation of cream for the cake. Butter cream "Five minutes"

In this article, I have collected all my favorite recipes for sponge cake creams. Let my piggy bank be here, into which I will look more than once if I forget something. I hope it will be useful for you too! Use on health!

1. Buttercream Charlotte

Delicious and delicate, with a light structure, Charlotte cream is suitable not only for the layer of the cake, but also for decoration. The cream is prepared by whipping butter with egg-milk syrup. Take the best oil, without impurities and additives, with a fat content of 82.5%

Ingredients per 250 g of cream:

• Butter - 100 g
• Sugar - 90 g
• Egg yolk - 1 pc.
• Milk - 65 g
• Cognac - 1 tbsp. l.

Remove the oil from the refrigerator in advance (1-2 hours before cooking). To warm it up faster, it can be divided with a knife into pieces 1-2 cm long. The more the surface of the oil comes into contact with air, the faster it will reach the desired temperature.

First prepare the syrup. Mix milk and yolk, strain through a sieve, add sugar and put on the stove to heat up. Boil the syrup over low heat with constant stirring for 7-8 minutes, from the moment of boiling, cook for 1-2 minutes. In appearance, the syrup should resemble condensed milk.

Pour the finished syrup into another bowl, cover with a film so that the top does not wind, and cool.

Place the butter in a large bowl and beat on high speed until fluffy and light. During the process, stop several times and collect the cream with a silicone spatula, which is smeared on the sides of the bowl. In small portions, add the cooled milk syrup to the butter (these ingredients should be at the same temperature). The finished cream has the following structure: airy, white, thick, easily falls off the shoulder blade when tapped on the edge of the bowl.

Cream Charlotte is most often flavored with strong liquor, cognac, vanilla sugar. You can combine vanilla sugar with regular sugar and add it to the egg syrup during its preparation, or you can grind it into powder and add it to the cream at the very end of whipping.

This cream is not as tasty as Charlotte, but it is prepared so simply that it will help out in difficult times. It does not contain eggs, which means it keeps well.

• Butter with a fat content of 82% - 150 g
• Powdered sugar - 70 g
• Condensed milk - 60 g
• Vanilla sugar - 1 sachet (grind into powder) Can be replaced with 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• Cognac (or any other strong alcohol) - 1 tsp.
• Cocoa powder - 15 g

Take all foods out of the fridge ahead of time to keep warm. Add sifted icing sugar, vanilla sugar, cocoa powder to soft butter and beat vigorously with a mixer for 5-6 minutes (at maximum speed).

Add the condensed milk little by little, stirring thoroughly each time. Add cognac or liquor to the finished cream. The finished cream looks like a shiny homogeneous mass. Prepare it just before use.

3. Cream with mascarpone

Favorite cream that I often use. It is suitable for both sponge cakes and cupcakes. Eclairs with mascarpone - delicious pastries for tea.

In this recipe, you can change the fruit component, while getting new shades of taste and color each time. But even without extraneous ingredients, mascarpone cream is very good.

• Cold fat cream (33-36%) - 375 g
• Mascarpone - 360 g
• Sugar - 75 g
• Vanilla extract - 1.5 tsp
• Fruit puree (from raspberries, bananas, strawberries, etc.) - 100 g

Cool the cream: place it in a bowl and put it in the freezer. Cold cream will whip much faster. Then combine sugar, mascarpone, vanilla extract and beat at low speed, and then go to maximum. Achieve sustained peaks.

At the end of cooking, add the fruit puree and carefully fold it into the cream with a spatula. Store in refrigerator until cake is assembled.

4. Protein cream

Usually nothing is layered with such a cream, since it is very gentle, but it is very suitable for coating and finishing. In order for protein decorations to hold their shape firmly, it is customary to tint them: bake in the oven for a couple of minutes at a high temperature, while the cream is covered with an appetizing golden brown crust.

• Protein of one egg - 1 pc.
• Sugar - 60 g
• Vanilla sugar - 1/2 sachet

Beat egg whites until stiff, add sugar and vanilla sugar and beat vigorously again until a thick, white, shiny mass is formed. Such a cream must be used immediately, otherwise it will settle.

5. Curd cream

This cream is made from cottage cheese and ordinary cream and is very similar to the filling in curd rings from choux pastry.

• Curd - 185 g
• Butter - 70 g
• Powdered sugar - 50 g
• Condensed milk - 15 g
• Vanilla sugar - 1/2 sachet (to be ground into powder)
• Cognac (or other aromatic strong alcohol) - 1 tbsp. l.

Beat butter with powdered sugar and vanilla sugar until light, add condensed milk and beat again. At the end of the process, add cognac.

Rub the cottage cheese through a sieve to make it fluffy. Combine with cream.

6. Cream "Plombir"

7. Custard sour cream for sponge cake

I will not write about the usual version of the cream (where sour cream is mixed with sugar), it is too simple and known to everyone. I'll tell you about a new method of sour cream, in which flour, egg, sour cream are brewed in a water bath.

• Sour cream 20% - 300 g
• Eggs - 1 pc.
• Flour - 2 tbsp. l.
• Sugar - 120 g
• Vanilla extract - 1 tsp
• Butter - 250 ml

Mix the egg, sour cream, vanilla, sugar and flour, place in a water bath and cook until thick, cool completely. Beat room temperature butter and, with constant stirring, add to the cooled cream.

The cream is great for layering cakes, as it is quite “wet” and additional impregnation with biscuit syrup is not required.

8. Cream cheese

Great for as well as other cakes and pastries. It keeps its shape well, therefore it is used not only in the layer, but also for decorating cakes and pastries.

• Curd cheese - 340 g
• Butter - 115 g
• Powdered sugar - 100 g
• Vanilla extract - 2 tsp

Preparing the cream is very simple, no special skills are needed. First, beat the butter (115 g) with the powdered sugar (100 g) on ​​high speed, then add the cream cheese and beat again with a mixer.

The butter should be at room temperature, softened and well whipped. Cream cheese, on the other hand, should be very cold, fresh from the refrigerator.

9. Chocolate ganache

The cream is a mixture of butter and cream in various proportions, you can also add a little fruit puree for flavor and taste.

• Dark chocolate (70%) - 100 gr.
• Cream (33%) - 50 ml.
• Oil - 10-15 gr.

The butter in this cream is added more for shine than texture, so it's in a small amount.

The cream is prepared very simply: add chocolate, broken into small pieces, into hot cream, mix. At the end of cooking, put a piece of butter.

It is important to remember the following proportions for milk, white and dark chocolate:

White ganache: 2 parts chocolate, 1 part cream (33%), 10% butter

Dark ganache: 1 part chocolate, 1 part cream (33%), 10% butter

Milk ganache: 3 parts chocolate, 2 parts cream (33%), 10% butter.

Knowing these proportions, you can always prepare a delicious cream for the cake, as well as filling for, and, of course, macaroons.

10. Cream of condensed milk and butter

• Soft butter - 200 g
• Good quality condensed milk (in cans) - 200 g
• Vanilla extract - 1 tsp (optional). You can use strong aromatic alcohol

The important point is to warm the butter to the desired temperature, its ideal consistency will be at 20 ° C. It feels a little cooler than room temperature.

Beat warm butter with a mixer until light and fluffy. Then add the condensed milk in small portions, beating each time. Cool the finished cream in the refrigerator.

In Pirogeyevo there is a variant of this cream (follow the link).

I buy all the necessary tools for the work of a confectioner, baking dishes and ingredients in a store. www.bakerstore.ru I recommend this store to everyone, since personally in my city the prices in confectionery stores for all ingredients are many times more expensive. And, by the way, when ordering, you can specify a promo code pirogeevo

Cake cream. Cake cream is a thick creamy whipped mass used for decorating cakes and pastries, as well as for soaking cakes. Such creams boast a different consistency and very original flavors. And they differ in the list of ingredients and in the method of preparation.

One of the lightest and most delicate is butter cream - it is an ideal filler for various cakes. And as a layer, such a cream is suitable exclusively for biscuits. Good for filling cakes, confectionery tubes and baskets and custard obtained during the brewing of some ingredients. Protein cream, which is proteins whipped with sugar, will be an excellent filling for any sweet pastry, in addition, such a cream has proven itself well in creating various decorative elements. But for a layer of cakes, it is not suitable - this is prevented by its too lush and airy texture.

And the most popular cream for the cake is buttercream. It ideally holds its shape and does not spread at all, which allows it to be used to decorate all kinds of confectionery - as a rule, all the flowers and other figures that appear on them are made from butter cream. Such a cream is prepared on the basis of unsalted butter, while it is important to ensure that it does not have any foreign tastes or suspicious odors.

There are a huge number of recipes for making creams. A good cream should always be quite thick, smooth and sweet. And so that it turns out just like that, it does not hurt to know some culinary tricks.

When preparing creams for cakes, it is quite acceptable to replace sugar with powdered sugar - it is added to creams to give them a more refined taste. But if powdered sugar is indicated in the recipe, then you should not replace it with sugar.

The ideal oil for making creams is natural butter, the fat content of which is at least 72%. Since the butter is almost always whipped, it must be taken out of the refrigerator in advance and allowed to soften a little naturally, lying at room temperature. It is unacceptable to warm up, let alone melt it before whipping!

If the cream is prepared on the basis of cream, then their fat content should not be lower than 33% - if it is lower, then the cream simply will not whip into a lush foam. And the cocoa powder used to make the cream should always be sugar-free, in addition, it is recommended to sift it for the best result.

Every housewife should always have cream recipes on hand so that at any time you can quickly and easily bake delicious cakes or desserts.
