MAPLE-ACORN TORTE



Maple-Acorn Torte image

A rich cake made from acorns, maple syrup and eggs. Inspired by traditional uses of chestnut flour. a dense cake made with nothing more than acorn flour, eggs, maple syrup, and a little bit of technique. Instead of using acorn flour raw, I hydrate it by cooking it into a mash beforehand. The flavor is slightly reminiscent of coffee cake, but don’t expect a light, airy fluff—the acorns add a certain weight to it you’ll feel. It’s something to behold, simply sliced, possibly warmed, with a dollop of whipped cream and a cup of coffee. You could probably substitute other nut meals for acorn, but I haven’t tried. Makes one 8-inch (20 cm) cake

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 30 minutes

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon maple or white sugar (for dusting the pan)
5 ounces1 cup (140 g acorn flour, finely ground and sifted)
1 cup 240 ml water
4 ounces 225 g unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing the pan
1 cup 240 ml maple syrup
5 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or wild vanilla extract, the recipe for this is in my book)
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Butter an 8-9in (20-22cm) springform pan, then sprinkle with maple sugar.
  • Toast the acorn flour lightly in a skillet or oven until just beginning to darken—don’t allow it to burn—then set aside to cool. Meanwhile, mix the water, butter, and maple syrup and bring to a boil, then add the toasted acorn flour and cook just until it thickens and a paste forms, then transfer the mixture to a bowl, cover it with cling film, and cool to room temperature.
  • Mix the cinnamon, salt, and baking powder.
  • In a stand mixer, beat the eggs until light-colored with a whisk, add the vanilla and cinnamon mix, then gradually add the acorn paste.
  • Mix until combined, then beat the mixture for another minute or two until you get a fluffy batter.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until just barely cooked through—if the middle if puffed and upright, it’s overdone and could potentially taste dry. When in doubt, underbake it slightly, as it will continue to cook with the residual heat as it cools. The texture should be smooth, a little reminiscent of a flourless chocolate torte, but with slightly more texture.
  • Serve with whipped crème fraiche, whipped cream, or sour cream. The cake will keep, covered and refrigerated, for 3-4 days.

BASIC FORCEMEAT/MOUSSELINE RECIPE - FORAGER CHEF



Basic Forcemeat/Mousseline Recipe - Forager Chef image

Provided by Alan Bergo

Categories     Side Dish    Snack

Prep Time 30 minutes

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 oz chopped meat/trim from cleaning a roast (collected scraps, etc.)
1 oz white bread (crust removed)
1/4 cup cream
1/4 tsp kosher salt
Pinch of white pepper (optional)
Pinch of nutmeg (optional)
1/2 teaspoon of chopped garlic (optional)

Steps:

  • Chop the meat, whatever type you are using, and chill it well, you can even place it in the freezer for 10 min, the colder the better.
  • Place the bread in a bowl and cover with the cream. Make sure it is saturated well with the cream. (This is a great use for old, crusty stale bread that is too hard to eat, and is most likely what was used in historical forcemeats, as nothing was wasted)
  • When the meat is well chilled, place it in the bowl of a food processor and add the bread soaked in cream, squeezing the cream out into a separate container.
  • Begin pureeing the meat by pulsing the food processor, adding the soaked bread, garlic, pepper, nutmeg and the salt.
  • When the mixture is coming together and looks like paste, turn the food processor onto the continuous cycle and start drizzling in cream until the mixture is fluffy, light in color, and you can see no chunks of meat left. You may need to scrape down the sides of the food processor to incorporate all the meat.
  • Cook a small piece to test the flavor, adjust as needed, then refrigerate in an air tight container until needed.
