Kardinalschnitte
Kardinalschnitte is a dessert from Austria. It’s a traditional cake made with layers of light and fluffy sponge cake, usually filled with a delicious vanilla or chocolate cream. The cake is then topped with a generous amount of powdered sugar, giving it a snowy appearance. Some variations even include a layer of apricot jam or a hint of rum.
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- apricot jam or rum for filling (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Separate the egg yolks and whites into two separate bowls.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks with the granulated sugar until pale and creamy.
- Gradually add the flour and vanilla extract to the egg yolk mixture, gently folding it in until well combined.
- In another clean mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the yolk mixture until fully incorporated. Be sure to maintain the light and airy texture of the batter.
- Spread the batter evenly onto the prepared baking sheet and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the sponge cake is golden brown and springs back when lightly touched.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
- If desired, you can spread a layer of apricot jam or sprinkle a splash of rum onto the cooled sponge cake.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until it thickens and forms soft peaks. You can also add a bit of powdered sugar to sweeten the cream, if desired.
- Carefully spread the whipped cream over the sponge cake, creating an even layer.
- Starting from one end, gently roll the cake into a log shape, being careful not to crack the cake.
- Place the rolled cake onto a serving dish and sprinkle generously with powdered sugar for that snowy effect.
- Slice and serve the Kardinalschnitte, and enjoy
