Blueberry and White chocolate Mousse cake 蓝莓白巧克力慕斯蛋糕

This was the Birthday cake that I made for my daughter few weeks ago. The idea of this cake came from Jane. She tried a nice cake from a famous bakery shop during her trip to Seoul. After she described to me the taste, and I made few research, then I came out with this mousse cake which well received by everyone who was tasted!


 
I still like to see a "naked" cake like this ^_^, and also like this way of decorating a cake..
 
the making process..
 
My kid's favourite pet also celebrated together ^_^
 
 
Using the same recipe, next time I can also make into raspberry & etc..

I was tried to have the same height of each level, thus I have some leftover of blueberry mousse. If you wish to try this recipe, maybe you can only make 75% of the blueberry mousse. And I especially love the white chocolate mousse which was not overly sweet !
If you don't have a microwave oven to melt the white chocolate, you can use double boiler method. Melt the white chocolate over a bowl of simmering hot water. Once you see the white chocolate started to melt but not totally melt, remove the pan immediately, then stir with the remaining heat to melt the chocolate. If you keep over hot water for too long, it tend to splits.


Blueberry and White chocolate Mousse cake 蓝莓白巧克力慕斯蛋糕
*makes a 6” round cake 

Chocolate Sponge cake
2 egg yolks (A size)
10g caster sugar
30g corn oil
30g milk
10g cocoa powder ( I use Valrhona cocoa powder)
33g cake flour

2 egg white (A size)
30g caster sugar
50g fresh blueberries 

Method

  1. Lightly whisk egg yolk with sugar. Add in corn oil, stir to combine.
  2. Add in milk, stir to combine, then add in cocoa powder, mix well.
  3. Add in cake flour, mix well, set aside. The batter is thick paste form.
  4. Beat egg white until foamy, gradually add in sugar, beat till stiff peaks.
  5. Take 1/3 portion of egg white mixture and use hand whisk to mix with egg yolk mixture till light.
  6. Fold the balance of egg white mixture into egg yolk mixture using a spatula, combine well. Add in fresh blueberries.
  7. Pour batter into the 6 ½” round pan (do not need to line with baking paper and do not use a non-stick pan), bake at pre-heated oven at 140c for 20mins (at lower rack), then increase to 170C and continue to bake for 15mins.
  8. Remove cake from oven and cool on a wire rack (prefer to invert the cake pan). Once cake is slightly cool down (10-15mins), remove cake from cake tin (use a think and flat spatula to run around the side and bottom of the cake pan) and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
  9. Once cake has cooled down, slice the cake and fill in to 6” cake ring or removable bottom cake pan. Set aside while preparing the mousse.

  2. Cook blueberries with sugar in a saucepan, till thick paste, set aside to slightly cool.
  3. Add blueberries compote into yogurt, use a hand blender, process till fine.
  4. Sprinkle gelatine powder and water in a bowl, stand the bowl over a pan of simmering hot water till dissolved and clear liquid.
  5. Once gelatine slightly cooling down, then add into blueberry yogurt mixture, mix well.
  6. Remove whipped cream from the refrigerator, add with blueberry yogurt mixture, mix well. Pour blueberries mousse into a cake ring or cake pan, smooth the top. Keep in the refrigerator while preparing white chocolate mousse.

Sonia ~ Nasi Lemak Lover said...

Michelle, not necessary to use corn oil, any vegetable oil will do, not sure coconut oil will it be strong taste.

Michelle said...

Thanks Sonia! I tried coconut oil on cupcakes before, taste will be covered by chocolate, can try on your recipe :)
