Yield Serves 15

Number Of Ingredients 18

For the cake:
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, plus more for pan
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, divided
6 ounces high-quality milk chocolate, chopped
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups sugar
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
For the frosting:
9 ounces high-quality milk chocolate, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup store-bought dulce de leche or caramel sauce

Steps:

  • Bake the cake:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 13x9" pan and dust with 2 Tbsp. cocoa powder, tapping out excess.
  • Melt remaining 1 cup butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add chocolate and remaining 1/2 cup cocoa powder; cook, whisking constantly, until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  • Whisk eggs and vanilla in a large bowl. Add sugar and whisk until smooth, lightened in color, and slightly aerated, about 2 minutes. Stream in buttermilk while whisking, then stream in chocolate mixture while whisking until smooth.
  • Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into chocolate mixture. Whisk until batter is mostly smooth (there will be a few small lumps). Transfer to prepared pan.
  • Bake cake until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 35-40 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cake cool completely.
  • Make the frosting:
  • Slice 2 oz. chocolate into long, thin shards; reserve for decorating. Coarsely chop remaining 7 oz. chocolate and transfer to a medium bowl. Add vanilla and salt.
  • Heat cream in a small pot over medium until just starting to simmer. Pour over chocolate mixture and let sit 3 minutes. Whisk until chocolate is melted and smooth. Whisk in dulce de leche. Chill until firm, at least 1 hour.
  • Whisk frosting to lighten and loosen, then use a spatula to spread over cake. If it's too stiff to work with, let it sit out on the counter for a few minutes. Sprinkle with reserved chocolate shards. Cut into thirds lengthwise, then into fifths crosswise (you should have 15 pieces).
  • Do Ahead
  • Cake can be made 3 days ahead; cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before serving.

REAL MEXICAN CAJETA (GOAT'S MILK CARAMEL OR DULCE DE LECHE)



Real Mexican Cajeta (Goat's Milk Caramel or Dulce De Leche) image

Make and share this Real Mexican Cajeta (Goat's Milk Caramel or Dulce De Leche) recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Raquel Grinnell

Categories     Sauces

Time 6m

Yield 1 1/2 quarts, 96 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 quarts milk (goat's milk, cow's milk, or a mixture of the two)
2 cups sugar
1 vanilla bean, split open (large, plump, preferably Mexican or substitute 1 tablespoon pure Mexican vanilla extract)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda, dissolved in 1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • In a large, heavy pot (not iron), combine the milk, sugar, and vanilla, and place over medium heat. Stir regularly until the milk comes to a simmer and sugar is dissolved. Remove the pot from the heat and add dissolved baking soda; it will bubble up at this point, especially with goat's milk. When the bubbles have subsided, return it to the heat.
  • Adjust heat so that the mixture is simmering briskly but not boiling. Cook, stirring regularly, until the mixture turns pale golden, about one hour.
  • You will now need to stir the milk more regularly as it begins to thicken and turns a caramel-brown color. Don't allow the milk to stick to the bottom of the pot. You can drop a few drops into a small glass of water. If a soft ball forms, the cajeta is ready.
  • If you take the pot off the heat and allow the cajeta to cool, it should be a medium-thick sauce. If it's too thick, add hot water, 1 tablespoon at a time until it is the proper consistency. If it is too thin, return to the heat until it thickens.
  • When the cajeta is cool, remove the vanilla bean. Strain the cajeta through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl or wide-mouthed jar, then scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean into the cajeta. Refrigerate until ready to use. Cajeta is best served warm.

  • Carefully and slowly add whipping cream (mixture will bubble vigorously).
  • Stir over low heat until any hard caramel bits dissolve and mixture is smooth.

8 ounces water
1 1/2 cups cake flour
6 ounces cocoa
1/2 tablespoon baking soda
1/2 tablespoon baking powder
7 ounces butter
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
1 egg
1 yolk
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 ounces cocoa
Pinch salt
3 1/2 ounces water
1/2 cup sugar
9 ounces cream
2 ounces corn syrup
3 1/2 ounces 58 percent chocolate
2 cups pate a glacer brune
6 ounces butter
2 1/2 ounces corn syrup
6 1/2 ounces confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon pectin
1/2 pound chopped pistachios
1 quart milk
1/2 quart cream
1 vanilla beans, split and scraped
2 cups sugar
10 egg yolks
72 percent chocolate
Fleur de sel

Steps:

  • Mousse:
  • Whip the 16 ounces heavy cream to soft peaks. Bring the milk and remaining 4 1/2 ounces of cream to a boil. Beat the sugar and egg yolks until smooth. While whisking egg yolk mixture, add a small ladle of the hot cream and whisk well to temper. Add the yolk mixture to the cream mixture and cook over low heat, while whisking, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat. Strain and pour over the chocolate. Mix to incorporate. Gently fold in the whipped cream.
  • Caramel Cream:
  • Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until mixture comes to a boil. Once mixture boils, don't stir anymore. Boil until the mixture turns a dark caramel color. Once a dark caramel color is achieved, remove from the heat and carefully add half quart cream and the vanilla bean. Be careful as the mixture may sputter a bit when you add the cream. Bring back to a boil and cook until a uniform consistency is achieved. Strain and let cool overnight. Whip the remaining half quart of cream to soft peaks. Fold in the caramel.
  • Assembly:
  • While the ice cream is still soft stir in 1 cup of pistachio nougatine. Place in freezer until ready to serve.
  • Pipe the mousse into 4-ounce dome molds and gently spoon up the sides to create a shell. Place in the freezer until set. Pipe in about 2 tablespoons of the caramel cream into each dome mold. Top with a chocolate disk and a round of chocolate biscuit. Place in the freezer until set and then unmold and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
  • Warm the chocolate glaze. Place a sable round on a plate. Glaze the dome and place it on top of the cookie. Top with a dot of gold leaf. Serve with the pistachio ice cream and chocolate garnishes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the egg whites in a mixer and whisk until frothy. While whisking, slowly add the 1 cup and 1 tablespoon of sugar and whisk to soft peaks. Meanwhile whisk together the yolks, oil and water until frothy. Stir in the remaining 2 cups sugar. Sift the remaining dry ingredients and whisk into the yolk mixture.
  • Gently fold in the meringue. Spread between 3 full sheet pans lined with parchment and bake until the cake springs back in the center, about 10 minutes. Let cool. Cut with a round cutter to fit directly at the base of the dome mold.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Cream together the butter and sugar. Add the egg and yolk, 1 at a time, just to combine.
  • Sift all dry ingredients and add a little at a time until just mixed together. Roll out very thin, about 1/8-inch. Cut out with a 1 1/2-inch round cutter. Sprinkle disks with sugar and bake off until dry to the touch, about 6 to 8 minutes. Let cool.
  • Bring the water, sugar, cream and corn syrup to a boil. Pour over the chocolates and mix together. Let cool.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degree F.
  • In a large pot, melt the butter and corn syrup. Stir in the confectioners' sugar and pectin and cook, stirring until you have reached a full boil. Continue to cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the pistachios. Spread onto parchment lined sheet pan and bake in the oven until golden brown. Let cool. Grind in a food processor into small chunks.
  • Bring the milk, cream, vanilla beans and half the sugar to a boil. Whisk together the remaining sugar and yolks. While whisking, add a ladle of the hot cream mixture to the yolks. Stir the yolk mixture into the cream mixture and cook over low heat until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat and strain. Let cool and process in an ice cream machine.
  • Temper chocolate and spread a thin layer out onto parchment. Sprinkle lightly with fleur de sel before it sets. Cut out with a 3/4-inch circle cutter.
