Detailed Steps for Making Refreshing Summer Delight – Pumpkin Mousse Cake
Ingredients for Mousse
Ingredients for 8-inch Chiffon Cake
Separate egg yolks and whites, beat egg whites in three parts, adding 20g sugar each time, until the whites form soft peaks. Then refrigerate the beaten egg whites. Add 30g sugar to the egg yolks, gently mix with a whisk, do not overbeat.
Add 40g olive oil and 40g milk to the beaten egg yolks, mix well. Add sifted flour to the egg yolk mixture, fold gently with a rubber spatula. Add 1/3 of the beaten egg whites to the egg yolk batter, gently fold in with the spatula, then pour the egg yolk batter into the bowl with the remaining egg whites and fold gently. Pour the cake batter into the mold, tap the mold on the table twice to remove large air bubbles inside.
Place in a preheated oven, top and bottom heat, 170°C, for about 45-50 minutes.
Once baked, immediately invert the cake to cool, then remove from the mold and slice for later use.
Steam the pumpkin until soft and remove the skin.
Puree the steamed pumpkin in a food processor.
Add some sugar and 100g milk to the pumpkin puree, mix well.
Soak the gelatin sheets in 50g milk, heat over a double boiler until dissolved, then pour into the pumpkin puree and mix well.
Place the cake slices in the bottom of the mold.
Pour the pumpkin puree into the cake mold, refrigerate for several hours.
Heat QQ Candy with water until melted.
Pour the melted QQ Candy solution over the frozen pumpkin mousse, then refrigerate until the glaze sets, then remove from the mold.
When removing from the mold, use a hairdryer to blow around the edges for easier release.
I used to struggle with cutting mousse, but this time I dipped the knife in hot water first, and it worked smoothly.
Baking can warm the heart and soften the temperament. Since I fell in love with baking, I rarely lose my temper.
