In this easy-to-follow cooking guide, we delve into creating a delightful dessert known as Rook Ball. This recipe makes excellent use of leftover egg whites and results in a delicious treat that you can impress your friends and family with. Let's explore the process in detail.
Ingredients
To create the Rook Ball, you will need the following ingredients:
The first step is to whisk together the 10 egg whites. Begin by adding the egg whites to a mixing bowl and beating them until they reach a light frothy state. Once this is achieved, gradually add the 180 grams of sugar while continuing to beat the mixture.
Achieving the Perfect Meringue
As you incorporate the sugar, add in 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence. Continue beating until the mixture reaches a firm, meringue-like consistency. This should be light and airy, which is essential for the overall texture of the Rook Ball.
Once the meringue is ready, carefully fold in 90 grams of flour. It’s important to do this gently to maintain the airiness of the egg whites. Rather than using a whisk, switch to a spatula for a more effective and gentle mixing of the flour into the meringue.
Baking Time
After fully incorporating the flour, transfer the mixture to a greased and lined baking tray. Spread the batter evenly to ensure uniform baking. Place the tray in the oven preheated to 180 degrees Celsius (or 350 degrees Fahrenheit) for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cake is baked through.
Once baked, carefully remove the tray from the oven. To release the Rook Ball from the tray, run a knife around the edges. Place a clean kitchen towel on your work surface and gently invert the baked cake onto it. While still warm, roll the cake tightly in the towel to create a spiral shape and allow it to cool for about 30 minutes.
Filling with Pastry Cream
While the cake cools, prepare the pastry cream if you haven’t done so already (the recipe can be found in a previous video). After the Rook Ball has cooled, unroll it gently and generously spread the pastry cream on top. Then, carefully roll the cake back up into its spiral form.
Once rolled, allow the Rook Ball to rest for an additional 30 minutes. After resting, trim the ends of the dessert to create clean edges. Decorate the top using more of the pastry cream for a beautiful finishing touch.
Serving and Enjoying
Your Rook Ball filled with pastry cream is now ready to serve! This delightful dessert will surely be a hit. If you enjoyed this recipe, please remember to like, comment, and subscribe for more delicious cooking tutorials.
