INGREDIENTS
Servings: 6-8
8 egg yolks
Parchment paper
Strawberries, to serve
Powdered sugar, to serve
PREPARATION
# In a small pot over medium heat, whisk the milk, cream cheese, and butter until smooth.
Remove from heat and cool.
# In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth, then slowly drizzle in the cream mixture,
stirring until evenly combined.
# Sift in the flour and the cornstarch, whisking to make sure there are no lumps.
# In another large bowl, beat the egg whites with a hand mixer until you see soft peaks when
lifting the mixer up from the egg whites.
# Gradually add the sugar while continuing to beat until you see hard peaks when lifting the
mixer up.
# Take about ¼ of the egg whites and fold them into the egg yolk mixture, then repeat with the
remaining egg whites until the batter is evenly combined.
# Place a 4-inch parchment paper strip around the edge of a 9x3-inch cake pan that is already
lined with parchment at the bottom. If you are using a springform pan, make sure to wrap the
bottom and sides completely in foil, twice, to prevent any leakage.
# Pour the batter into the parchment-lined pan and shake to release any large air bubbles.
# Place the filled pan into a larger baking pan or dish lined with 2 paper towels at the bottom.
The paper towels ensure that the heat is distributed evenly along the bottom of the pan. Fill the
larger pan about 1-inch with hot water.
# Bake for 25 minutes, then reduce the heat to 280°F/135°C, and bake for another 55 minutes,
until the cake has risen to almost double its height.
# Remove from oven, and carefully, invert the cake onto your dominant hand and peel off the
paper. Be extremely careful, the cake will be hot. You can also invert the cake onto a plate, but
this will cause the cake to deflate more.
# Sprinkle the top of the cake with powdered sugar, slice, and serve with strawberries while still
warm!
# Enjoy!
La masa:
La mayoría de recetas de pasta fresca llevan
harina y huevo, existe la opción de hacerla
con harina y agua, sin huevo, pero entonces
la harina debe ser sémola de trigo duro. Para
mi con sémola es la mejor fórmula, queda muy
elástica y puede trabajarse hasta el nivel
más fino de la máquina. Lo que produce
raviolis muy muy profesionales.
Proporciones:
Fórmula básica 1: Pasta fresca con huevo
100 gr de harina de fuerza
