« A princess cake / prinsessakakku / prinsesstårta in a
Yoda-green marzipan robe. »
I was working hard on my sofa coma on Friday evening by drinking a
beer and scanning my newsfeeds when I saw that someone had made
one of those funny green cakes from possibly the most pointlessly complex cake recipe I've ever seen. One of the
reviewers of the cookbook the recipe was taken from, Birthd
ay Cakes: Recipes and Memories from Celebrated Bakers
concurred with my dim view of the recipe:
Finally, several of the recipes are ridiculously complicated for the
home baker. "The Princess Cake," for example, requires following four
lengthy pages of instructions!
Many of the other reviewers remark at how pretty the book is to look
at which I had to laugh at since you know right there they are just in
it for the picture porn, not the practicality of the recipes. The
princess cake is, in spite of its looks, a simple cake: sponge cake
layered with pastry cream and topped with a marzipan shell. Why on
earth anyone would put themselves through such torture for something
that should be rather simple? I was surprised the recipe didn't also
encourage the baker to make their own raspberry jam from hand-picked
organic berries or grind their own flour. It's a bad recipe if only
for the silly rum 'moistening' solution for the cake since it boils
off the alcohol in the rum and then adds more sugar to, perhaps they
forget, distilled cane sugar. If the cake wasn't bone dry in the first
place it wouldn't be necessary but not only that, rum is not a flavour
associated with traditional cakes in the Nordic countries. If you want
rum flavour, add a bit of extract to the cream or just brush some of
the dark rum right onto the cake. If you've got a good bottle of
Meyer's Dark Rum and feel the urge to boil it, please come to my house
and don't forget to bring the bottle. :) The Finnish recipes
occasionally mention using a wee bit of orange juice for the same
purpose but it seems highly optional and up to the discretion of the
baker.
So, I went hunting for a recipe since I see these cakes all the time
but, aside from getting intense flashbacks to Hostess
Snoballs, I've never actually tried one. It's also a cake I can
share without regret since I'm not overly fond of marzipan. :) The
cake was invented/created in the 1930s by Jenny Åkerström who ran
a cooking school for young ladies. She named her creation after the
Swedish princesses Margaretha, Märtha and Astrid though it's not known
if they enjoyed the cake or not. It appeared in Finland not long after
it became popular in 1930s Sweden and has remained a traditional cake
ever since, particularly for graduation and end of school year
parties. The cake may also be known as the operatårta.
Surprisingly, online there are more recipes for the cake in Finnish
than there are in Swedish. And one of the MTV3
cooking shows featured a princess cake recently as well. None of
my cookbooks at home had a recipe for it and I even went looking
through the cookbooks at Akateeminen and found only two books that had
a recipe and neither of them looked very good. I compared all the
recipes I could find online and there was little difference save for
the cream where there were two camps: pastry cream and plain whipped
cream with one Swedish oddball using both mixed together. I turned to
CI to compare both the sponge cake and pastry cream recipes and they
featured the same ingredients only with far more detailed instructions
and perfected technique so I used theirs instead. The sponge cake
recipe is ace and, since such cakes are common components in Finnish
desserts, I can't recommend it highly enough as it was tasty, moist
and spongy just as a good cake of its kind should be.
There are also a few different styles of cake construction. Two
layers or three layers, round or rectangular log,
cream dome or sponge cake covering the dome as the top layer. It
doesn't seem to matter as long as all of the key ingredients are
there. The log looks interesting and easier to slice, but getting a
sponge cake to bend like that without breaking or popping out of shape
would require a few tricks I suspect.
The cream filling is where things get a bit dodgy in many of the
recipes since the instructions are vague and don't mention the time
needed. I tried the Swedish version of the pastry cream which featured
gelatin as a thickener and, from a structural standpoint, I thought it
might be the most successful at providing needed firmness to hold the
shape of the cake. It eventually set, but the directions were limited
and somewhat misleading. The pastry cream should be made the night
before as it needs five hours or more to set. It's not difficult to
make and it's good to have one less thing to juggle in the kitchen.
Americans averse to dairy and/or cream could likely just use Cool
Whip™ to replace the pastry cream and whipped cream thus making
the cake even easier. We've got so many cream and dairy products that
there must be a state embargo on non-dairy products like Cool
Whip™.
It's all smooth sailing once you've got your cake layers, pastry
cream, jam and marzipan all ready to go. Unless you've got some
complex about using organic almonds, don't make the marzipan yourself
as it's ready-made in all the usual colours for far less money than
all the time and effort you would spend making it. The only drawback
to using prepared marzipan is that it can be somewhat dry which makes
manipulating it an exercise in patience. It also makes your life
easier if you have 2 or preferably 3 round cake pans since this
reduces the number of cakes you have to cut from a larger one. I like
chocolate layer cakes so I've learned to make my life easier by making
the layers at bake time since I suck at slicing cakes evenly or
unevenly.
So that's all there is to it. Follow the recipes and make your own
princess cake for a graduation party instead of paying 40 euro or so
for one from a bakery in town. The 30 euro you save can buy a
reasonable amount of beer instead. :)

Sponge Cake:
makes: two 8- or 9-inch cakes
time: about 45 minutes
source: CI
Sift together
-
1/2 cup or 1,25 dl cake flour
-
1/4 cup or 0,75 dl unbleached all-purpose flour
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
1/4 teaspoon table salt
Heat together, cover and set aside
-
3 tablespoons whole milk
-
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
-
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla sugar
separate and mix
-
5 eggs room temperature
-
3/4 cup or 1,75 dl granulated sugar
-
Adjust oven rack to lower middle position and heat oven to
350F/175C degrees. Generously grease and flour
two or three round 8- or 9-inch cake pans and cover pan bottoms
with a round of parchment paper. Whisk flours, baking powder, and salt
in a medium bowl (or sift onto waxed paper). Heat milk and butter in a
small saucepan over low heat until butter melts. Remove from heat and
add vanilla; cover and keep warm.
-
Separate three of the eggs, placing whites in bowl of standing
mixer fitted with whisk attachment (or large mixing bowl if using hand
mixer or whisk) and reserving the 3 yolks plus remaining 2 whole eggs
in another mixing bowl. Beat the 3 whites on high speed (or whisk)
until whites are foamy. Gradually add 6 tablespoons of the sugar;
continue to beat
whites to soft, moist peaks. (Do not overbeat.) If using a
standing mixer, transfer egg whites to a large bowl and add yolk/whole
egg mixture to mixing bowl.
-
Beat yolk/whole egg mixture with remaining 6 tablespoons sugar.
Beat on medium-high speed (setting 8 on a KitchenAid) until eggs are very thick and
a pale yellow color, about 5 minutes (or 12 minutes by hand). Add
beaten eggs to whites.
-
Sprinkle flour mixture over beaten eggs and whites; fold very
gently 12 times with a large rubber spatula. Make a well in one side
of batter and pour milk mixture into bowl. Continue folding until
batter shows no trace of flour, and whites and whole eggs are
evenly mixed, about 8 additional strokes.
-
Immediately pour batter into
prepared baking pan[s][makes 9-10dl of batter so ~3dl per cake
layer]; bake until cake tops are light brown and feel firm and spring
back when touched, about 16 minutes for 9-inch cake pans and 20
minutes for 8-inch cake pans.
-
Immediately run a knife around pan perimeter to loosen cake. Cover
pan with large plate. Using a towel, invert pan and remove pan from
cake. Peel off parchment. Re-invert cake from plate onto rack. Repeat
with remaining cake[s]. Cover with clean cloth until ready to assemble
cake to keep the cake moist. **If assembling the cake with the cake
layer on top style, you may want to place a layer of cake over a
bowl about the size of the cake while it is still warm to make it
easier to fit over the cream later.
Pastry cream:
time: about 30 mins - Make at least 5 hours ahead or the night
before!
source: CI
Heat until simmering/near boiling
-
2 cups or 2,25 dl half-and-half (half whole milk, half cream)
-
1/2 cup or 1,25dl granulated sugar
-
pinch table salt
Whisk together until thick
-
5 large egg yolks, chalazae removed*
-
3 tablespoons cornstarch or arrowroot
Stir in last
-
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold), cut into 4 pieces
-
1,5 teaspoons vanilla extract or 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
-
Heat half&half, 6 tablespoons sugar, and salt in medium
heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat until simmering (near
boiling), stirring occasionally to dissolve sugar.
-
Meanwhile, whisk egg yolks in medium bowl until thoroughly
combined. Whisk in remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and whisk until sugar
has begun to dissolve and mixture is creamy, about 15 seconds. Whisk
in cornstarch until combined and mixture is pale yellow and thick,
about 30 seconds.
-
When half&half mixture reaches full simmer, gradually whisk
simmering half-and-half into yolk mixture to temper. Return mixture to
saucepan, scraping bowl with rubber spatula; return to simmer over
medium heat, whisking constantly, until 3 or 4 bubbles burst on
surface and mixture is thickened and glossy, about 30 seconds. Off
heat, whisk in butter and vanilla. Transfer mixture to medium bowl,
press plastic wrap directly on surface, and refrigerate until cold and
set, at least 3 hours or up to 48 hours.
*Chalazae are cordlike strands of egg white protein that are
attached to the yolks--removing them with your fingers is easy and
eliminates the need to strain the pastry cream after cooking.
rahka-Fraîche Cream:
-
250g plain lowfat rahka
-
250g vanilla fraîche 5%
-
about 1-2 dl fine sugar
-
1-2 tablespoons cornstarch or arrowroot
-
whip together rahka and fraîche
-
add sugar to suit your taste
-
add cornstarch if a bit too moist
-
mix half of the rahka cream with the whipped cream
-
refrigerate
note: since neither of these products are likely available to people
outside the Nordic region or the EU, they are basically thick sour
milk products that might be substituted by using thick vanilla yogurt
and lowfat sour cream.
Whipped Cream:
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
-
1/3 cup or 0,75 dl confectioners' sugar (use half of sugar if you
prefer less sweetness)
-
3,5 dl or 1.5 cups heavy cream
-
Beat cold heavy cream at medium speed in an electric mixer until
thickened. Add confectioners' sugar and vanilla and beat until thick.
-
pastry cream or rahka cream
-
whipped cream
-
raspberry jam or low-sugar/just fruit jam for less sweetness
There are two methods of assembly: the cream dome on top
method:
-
Slice cake to create 3 evenly sized layers unless you bake with 3
round pans in which case you already have three cakes ready to use.
-
Place the first layer on top of a sheet of baking paper and spread
a thin layer of
raspberry jam on top of the cake.
-
Spread a layer
of pastry cream/rahka cream on top of the jam and place another cake layer on
top and repeat jam and cream application.
-
Place the third cake layer on
top and with a serrated knife, trim
off edge to round off the top. Mound the whipped cream on top of the
cake and smooth with a spatula. You can also mix part of the
remaining pastry cream with the whipped cream if you like. Coat the
sides of the cake if you have any cream leftover as well.
-
Lift cake onto a plate or baking tray and chill in the refrigerator
while you prepare the marzipan shell.
and the cake layer
on top method:
-
Slice cake to create 3 evenly sized layers unless you bake with 3
round pans in which case you already have three cakes ready to use.
-
Spread a layer
of pastry cream/rahka cream on top of the jam. Place the second
cake layer over the cream and make a dome of the whipped
cream/rahka-whipped cream mix leaving a thin margin around the edge
for where the top layer will rest on the lower layers.
-
Remove the third cake layer from the bowl and spread a very thin
layer of jam on top which will serve to anchor the marzipan to the
cake. Place the cake layer on top over the cream and smooth into a
rounded shape. Witha serrated knife, trim off edge to round off the
top if necessary.
-
Lift cake onto a plate or baking tray and chill in the refrigerator
while you prepare the marzipan shell.
Marzipan shell:
-
350-400g or 14oz green (or pink or yellow) marzipan
-
confectioners' sugar
-
Roll marzipan between 2 sheets of baking paper or plastic wrap so
that it doesn't stick to your rolling pin. Mark center of the marzipan
and remove it from the baking paper. Dust rolling pin with
confectioners' sugar and roll part of the marzipan onto it to make it
easier to maneuver the marzipan on top of the cake.
-
Cover
the cake with the marzipan. At this point, the dome of the cake
will be smoothly covered, but there will be folds or creases on the
sides. To remove the folds and creases, smooth the marzipan gently
with your hand from the top of the cake to the bottom. This requires
some patience so don't try to rush it.
-
Work your way around the cake. Once all the folds are eliminated,
rub the palm of your hand around the sides of the cake to further
smooth it and eliminate air pockets.
-
With a rolling pizza cutter or small, sharp knife, carefully cut
off the excess marzipan along the bottom edge. Reserve excess for
making leaves.
-
Dust top with confectioners' sugar. You can make a stencil for the
confectioners' sugar to decorate with a crown or add a single
marzipan/real rose on top.
-
If you choose a rose as garnish, cut two or three elongated ovals
out of the remaining marzipan to make leaf shapes. Lightly score the
top of the leaves with a knife to create veins and place on top of the
cake. Garnish with real pink rose or make your own marzipan
rose.
-
Chill until serving.
-
Slice with a
sharp knife with a slow, firm pressure.
