Making a buttercream for a cake. How to make cake cream? Homemade cake cream: recipes

The cream is a fluffy mass prepared by whipping butter, eggs, cream with sugar and other products.

The cream, due to its high nutritional value, excellent taste and plasticity, allows you to create jewelry of the most intricate forms.

However, along with the advantages, the cream also has a major drawback - it quickly deteriorates and is very sensitive to all kinds of bacterial contamination.

Store the cream in a cool place, given that at a temperature of 2-5 °, the reproduction of microbes slows down.

Bacterially contaminated cream can be a source of illness and poisoning. Microbes can be introduced into the cream with raw materials, from dishes or from hands. The cream should not be prepared for future use.

Products with cream cannot be stored for more than 36 hours, and products with custard for more than 3 hours at a temperature of 5 °. Therefore, it is advisable to prepare pastries and cakes with cream shortly before use.

When making a cream, it is necessary to observe the cleanliness of hands, dishes and equipment. The cream is prepared only from good quality and fresh products.

Recipe explanations

Citric acid is found in lemon and some other fruits and berries, but it is obtained mainly by fermenting sugars. Citric acid goes on sale in crystals. 1 spoonful of crystalline citric acid dissolve in 2 tablespoons of hot water and the resulting solution is used in the manufacture of blanks, dispensing it with drops or teaspoons (in 1 teaspoon of acid solution 50-55 drops). The juice from one lemon corresponds to about 5 g of crystalline acid, or 2 teaspoons of its solution.

Food paints

Creams, glazes and other preforms can be tinted with harmless natural and artificial coloring agents. Dyes quickly deteriorate from the action of light, air and moisture, so they must be diluted in small portions and stored in dark glass bottles. When coloring blanks and products, it should be borne in mind that too bright and unnatural coloring of food causes an unpleasant feeling. Dissolve the paints in warm boiled water, set the dosage as desired.

White coloration give powdered sugar, lipstick, milk, cream, sour cream, white creams.

Yellow coloration it turns out: from saffron, diluted in warm water, vodka or alcohol; from lemon peel; from carrot mass, prepared from equal parts of butter and pounded carrots, fried for 3-5 minutes until softened and strained through cheesecloth or strainer; from powders or pastes of tartrazine and safflower, readily soluble in water.

Green coloring is obtained by mixing yellow with blue or squeezing green juice from spinach.

Brown coloration give a strong coffee infusion, a very strong tea brew, or burnt sugar.
Zhzhenka is prepared as follows. Pour 1 tbsp into the pan. a spoonful of granulated sugar and, stirring, heat over low heat until the sugar turns dark brown and smoke begins to stand out. Continuing to stir, gradually add 0.5 cups of hot water and stir until the lumps dissolve.
The resulting gummy dark brown solution is filtered through cheesecloth or strainer and stored in a bottle.
Stir gently with a long spatula or stick to avoid splashing hot burnt sugar. With insufficient burning of sugar, the color will be weak, and the burnt sugar will curdle into a hard lump and there will be little burning.

Red and pink coloration obtained by adding: juices of raspberries, strawberries, cranberries, dogwood, lingonberries, currants, cherries; red syrups, jams, wine; red cabbage or beets, which are finely chopped, poured with the same amount of acidified water, brought to almost a boil and drained; carmine, which is dissolved with ammonia and, after adding water, boiled until the smell of alcohol disappears.

III. Basic custards

Custards turn sour and spoil quickly, especially if stored in a warm place.
To prevent the custard from burning, it must be heated in a saucepan with a thick bottom over low heat and stirred not with a broom or spoon, but with a wooden spatula that fits snugly against the bottom of the pan.
After boiling, the cream is cooled to about 10 ° in the refrigerator. If there is no refrigerator, put the pan with the cream in cold water or between the pieces of ice, cover it with another pan (basin), on which you also put ice (snow) and sprinkle it with salt. In such conditions, the cream cools quickly.
To prevent a dense crust from forming on the surface of the cream, sprinkle it with sugar or stir the cream periodically during cooling. The chilled cream is quickly used for the preparation of products.
Custards should not be used to decorate the surface of cakes and pastries, as they do not produce embossed patterns.
These creams are used to fill tubes, baskets, rolled wafers, as well as to decorate the surface of yeast products, and less often for interlayers and spreading of cakes and pastries.
By substituting creams for individual products in recipes or adding new ones, flavored custards with different flavors and aromas can be obtained.

IV. Basic buttercreams

Whipped cream cream is distinguished by its splendor, tenderness and lightness, high nutritional value and excellent taste. The preparation of this cream requires the mandatory observance of a number of conditions.
Fresh liquid cream should be heated on low heat for 20-30 minutes at 80 ° (pasteurized), after which the microbes that cause spoilage and souring of the cream die. Then cool the cream to a temperature of 3-4 ° and keep at this temperature for 24-36 hours. During this time, the cream matures, becomes thicker and more foamy.
The best temperature for churning cream is 2-3 °, and already at 10-13 ° the cream churns badly, curds and turns into butter. Therefore, cream, dishes and brooms should be cooled as much as possible. The surrounding air should be cold and clean, as foreign odors are easily perceived by the cream.
Heavy cream, 35% fat, whips well; from cream with 20% fat, the cream can be obtained only with the addition of gelatin.
Whisk the cream with a broom, slowly at first, then faster, until a thick, fluffy foam is obtained. If the cream closes during whipping (it forms a non-uniform pockmarked mass), stop whipping, put the cream on a clean sieve and drain the liquid, then continue whipping. Repeated failure indicates that the cream was liquid or warm and will not be able to cream. You can continue to beat this cream with a wooden spatula until you get butter.

Cream must be prepared before use. Products with this cream can be stored for no more than 2-3 hours in a cold place.
Whipped cream without gelatin quickly loses its shape and spreads; cream with gelatin retains its shape better and longer, but its structure is not airy, but gelatinous.
Creamy creams are used to decorate the surface of pastries and cakes, as well as to fill tubules, baskets and rolled wafers. For the interlayer, butter creams are used only in biscuit cakes and pastries.
It is not recommended to sandwich sand and flaky layers with these creams, since the cream "sits down" under the weight of the upper layer, and is squeezed out during cutting and during eating.

Homemade cake cream - cooking tricks and tips

Beat any cream at a low intensity, further increasing the whipping speed.

Protein cream whipped in an aluminum bowl may darken. To prepare such a cream, it is best to take a thick-walled glass or earthenware container.

If it is difficult to separate the yolks from the proteins, then protein cream beat will not work. Also, fat that accidentally gets into the dishes can interfere with whipping.

If you keep fresh sour cream or cream in the refrigerator for a day, the cream prepared on their basis will be much easier and faster to beat.

If the sour cream does not whip well, fold it onto a sieve, the bottom of which is lined with gauze. The excess liquid will come off, and the cream will quickly beat up.

If you initially add half of one raw egg white, it will beat up very quickly.

The basis for custard it is best to brew in a thick-walled saucepan, in which case it will not burn.

1. Butter cream 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%

Number of ingredients for 250 g of cream:

  • Butter - 100 g
  • Granulated 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 make it warm faster, it can be divided with a knife into pieces 1-2 cm long. The more surface of the oil is in contact with air, the faster it will become the desired temperature.

Prepare the syrup first. Mix milk and yolk, strain through a sieve, add sugar and put on the stove to heat. 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 prepared syrup into another dish, cover with plastic foil so that the top does not get windy, and cool.

Place the butter in a large bowl and whisk at high speed until fluffy. During the process, stop several times and use a silicone spatula to collect the cream that is smeared on the sides of the bowl. Add the cooled milk syrup to the butter in small portions (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 tapping on the edge of the bowl.

Charlotte cream 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 to the cream at the very end of the whisk.

This cream is not as tasty as Charlotte, but the preparation is so simple that it will help out in difficult times. There are no eggs in it, which means it is perfectly stored.

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

Remove all food from the refrigerator beforehand 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 condensed milk little by little, stirring thoroughly each time. Add cognac or liqueur 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 biscuit 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, the mascarpone cream is very good.

  • Cold heavy cream (33-36%) - 375 g
  • Mascarpone - 360 g
  • Granulated sugar - 75 g
  • Vanilla extract - 1.5 tsp
  • Fruit puree (raspberry, banana, strawberry, etc.) - 100 g

Chill the cream; place it in a bowl and place in the freezer. The cold cream will whisk much faster. Then combine the sugar, mascarpone, vanilla extract and beat on low speed, then turn to maximum. Achieve steady peaks.

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

4. Protein cream

Usually, nothing is sandwiched with such a cream, since it is very delicate, but for covering and finishing it is very suitable. In order for the protein jewelry to keep its 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.

  • One egg white - 1 pc.
  • Granulated sugar - 60 g
  • Vanilla sugar - 1/2 sachet

Whisk the whites into a stiff foam, add the sugar and vanilla sugar, and beat again vigorously until a dense, white, shiny mass is formed. This cream must be used immediately, otherwise it will settle.

5 curd cream

This cream is made from cottage cheese and regular cream and is very similar to the filling in custard dough rings.

  • Cottage cheese - 185 g
  • Butter - 70 g
  • Powdered sugar - 50 g
  • Condensed milk - 15 g
  • Vanilla sugar - 1/2 sachet (you need to grind it into powder)
