GENOISE WITH LAVENDER & VANILLA BEAN PASTRY CREAM AND FRESH BERRIES
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter a 9" springform pan. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper and butter. Lightly dust pan with flour. Sift the flour & salt together 3 times, set aside. Beat eggs at medium-high speed and gradually add in the sugar until the mixture triples in volume, becomes very pale in color & forms a ribbon when the beaters are lifted. Sift one third of the flour into the egg mixture & very gently fold it in. Add an additional third of the flour, & repeat the folding process. Take some batter and fold it carefully into the melted & cooled butter to lighten it. Add the butter mixture back to the batter & fold in gently, only until it is incorporated. Sift in the rest of the flour, fold it in & pour the batter into prepared pan. Smooth out the top, leaving the sides a little bit higher than the center & bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the top springs back when touched lightly & the edges begin to pull away. Cool for 5-10 minutes on a wire rack, then invert the pan, remove the sides and the parchment and let cool completely. For the cream: Simmer the milk, sugar, vanilla bean & lavender for around 30 minutes. Strain, discarding lavender. Whisk egg yolk constantly while slowly pouring in the hot milk. Put the flour into the pan, pour on a little of the hot milk mixture whisking it to remove lumps & then add the rest. Cook quickly over medium high heat stirring constantly until the mixture is thickened. Add the butter. Cover with plastic, pressing it down onto the cream to keep it from forming a skin. Cool. Prepare the berries, adding 2-4 tablespoons sugar if needed. Assemble: Cut cooled cake in half, spoon lavender cream onto middle section, place some of the berries over the cream. Put second layer on top, dust with powdered sugar. Place a few berries on top along with some fresh mint to garnish. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
