Instructions
 

MAZE DESIGN

  • Place your Maze Design Mat on the top of the your Flexiflat® Tray  and your Medium Perforated Baking Sheet. Set Aside.
  • In a small mixing bowl, gently mix with a spatula the softened butter and powdered sugar together. Then, whisk in the egg whites and all-purpose flour.
  • Gently pour your preparation and spread evenly using your offset spatula. Freeze while preparing the almond chocolate cake.

ALMOND CHOCOLATE CAKE

  • Place butter in a small sauce pan and heat on low until melted. Set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, powdered sugar, all-purpose flour, cocoa powder and both eggs.
  • In another mixing bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks. Add the sugar half way. Then, using a spatula carefully fold it into your first preparation. Add the cooled melted butter.
  • Preheat oven at 410F/210C.
  • Take your trays out of the freezer, and gently pour over the chocolate preparation. Evenly spread with your offset spatula. 

BAKE!

  • Bake for 12 minutes at 410F/210C. (Every oven heats differently, monitor your chocolate cake from 10min). It is ready when the sponge springs back when touched lightly.
  • Once your chocolate cake is out of the oven, let it cool down for about 5min and then flip over the bonMAT™. Set aside while preparing the raspberry chocolate mousse.

RASPBERRY CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

  • Place the dark chocolate chunks in your Mini Round Flexipan® Mold. Heat in the Microwave for about 30 seconds at a time. Once out of the microwave, using your Mini Whisk, mix until smooth. 
  • Add the raspberry jam to your Mini Round Flexipan® Mold. Heat in the Microwave for about 30 seconds. Incorporate it to your melted chocolate and set aside.
  • In another mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks. Then, using your spatula carefully fold it into your chocolate preparation. Add the raspberry halves.

ASSEMBLY

  • Place your Loaf Flexipan® Mold on the top of your Medium perforated baking sheet. Set aside.
  • Using the cake server knife gently cut along the lines of your Maze Mat. Save one rectangle as well to cover the bottom of your Bûche. Place the Maze Design in your Loaf Mold so it is in contact to the mold.
  • Then, pour your Raspberry Chocolate Mousse Preparation and cover with the chocolate cake rectangle previously cut. Cover with a plastic wrap and freeze overnight.

DEMOLDING

  • The day you are ready to enjoy your bûche, take it out of the freezer 5 hours prior eating. Separate the Loaf Mold from the maze mat, then, gently peal it off. Enjoy & Bon Appétit!
