TORTE "EXOTIC" Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: food-processing industry, in particular, preparing of farinaceous confectionery products.

SUBSTANCE: torte has layers of products placed onto one another, with lower layer being made in the form of shortcake, middle layer being formed of "Charlotte" cream and top layer being formed of fruit marmalade. Outer surface of torte is decorated with stewed fruits preliminarily coated with gel. Torte side surfaces are covered with strawberry jam. Shortcake is produced by initially mixing at rotational speed of 210-220 rev/min of mixture including margarine, sand sugar, salt and melange, said mixture being preliminarily heated to boiling temperature. Mixture of sodium dioxide and ammonium carbonate is then introduced into resultant homogeneous mass and mixing is performed at the same rotational speed for 5-6 min. Rum essence and top-grade wheat flour are then introduced into resultant mass and mixing is provided at rotational speed of 70-80 rev/min for 1-1.5 min. Obtained mass is distributed on confectionery sheets in even 6-8 mm thick layer, baked at temperature of 200-225°C for 10-15 min, cooled and cut into individual pancakes. "Charlotte" cream is prepared by aeration of unsalted butter and "Charlotte" syrup at rotational speed of 280-310 rev/min for 20-30 min until volume is increased by 2-3 times. "Charlotte" syrup is prepared by aeration of mixture including sand sugar, whole condensed milk and eggs, with following adding of cognac and vanillin into cream mass. Weight ratio of torte lower, middle and top layers is (42-44):(19-20):(1.5-1.7). Strawberry jam is used in an amount of 0.7-0.8% by total weight of torte. Shortcake mixture components are used in the following ratio, weight parts: top-grade wheat flour 1,800-1,950; sand sugar 700-750; melange 230-260; margarine 1,000-1,100; sodium dioxide 18-18.5; ammonium carbonate 18-18.5; salt 70-71; rum essence 70-71. Cream components are used in the following ratio, weight parts: unsalted butter 1,000-1,015; sand sugar 615-625; eggs 130-150; whole condensed milk 190-210; cognac 9-11; vanillin 2.8-3. Stewed fruits are used in an amount of 0.17-0.18% by total weight of torte. Gel used as coat for fruits is prepared by aeration of egg albumen with water heated to temperature of 35-40°C, with egg albumen to water ratio making 3:1. Sand powder is introduced in an amount of 60-70% by weight of gel. Torte has regular stable shape, attractive appearance, soft consistency with clearly defined layers of shortcake and cream. Torte has shelf life of up to 6 days.

EFFECT: improved quality and prolonged shelf life of product.
