  • In this week's Wednesday episode, Patrick and Stuart welcome friend and patron Irene from Denmark to the chateau cuisine. Irene shows how she makes her version of a traditional Lübecker Marzipantorte, one of Patrick's favorite childhood cakes. Patrick and Stuart also have a rainy day visit to the recent annual donkey fair in Lignières, France.
    --------------
    LÜBECKER MARZIPANTORTE RECIPE
    for the sponge cake:
    4 eggs separated, use whites only
    3 tbsp - warm water
    salt - pinch
    100g - granulated sugar
    vanilla bean
    125g - sifted flour
    1 tbsp - baking powder
    for the filling:
    4 1/2 cups - whipping cream
    whip cream stabilizer
    vanilla bean
    200g - ground hazelnuts
    Marzipan for covering an 8 inch cake.
    Add the warm water and salt to egg whites and beat to stiff peaks. Add sugar and vanilla to egg whites and continue beating until incorporated. Combine baking powder with the flour and sift into the egg mixture. Gently fold to combine.
    Pour batter into a round parchment lined 8 inch baking pan.
    Bake in preheated oven (175° C / 350° F) for 20-25 minutes.
    Let completely cool. Remove sponge from the cake pan and cut into layers.
    Whip the cream with a mixer until it begins to thicken. Add the stabilizer with vanilla then continue until fully incorporated and filling has thickened. Gently fold in the ground hazelnuts.
    Build the cake by using the first layer of sponge on the bottom, spread the filling to cover the sponge and build up a thickness, then top with the second layer of sponge.
    Cover the entire cake with a sheet of marzipan, cut off the excess around the bottom sides, then decorate the top with additional piped whip cream and hazelnuts if desired.

    Irene’s cake looks amazing. I observed several supervisors watching the preparation closely and wagging their tails when she prepared the ingredients accurately. Irene has a nice calm demeanor. The dahlias are beautiful. Take care my friends, Ralph Rocchiccioli

      Hi Patrick and Stuart,
      The cake looks lovely!! I truly LOVE your dogs!! I think that I shared with you that my first dog ( a family dog) was an Irish terrier. His name was “Pups”. My mother told me that I used to sit on the kitchen counters and I would feed him dog biscuits. ( I was 4 years old). I would give him one and then I would eat one. - I do not remember doing this BUT I DO remember him!!! Elizabeth in Texas

    I was smiling when you were talking about your countertops. “We have a fountain “ so funny. We finally decided on quartz for our kitchen and the men who did the template were excellent. The whole process was difficult and time consuming, I COMPLETELY understand why you would need a break. If your content with the work surfaces then everyone else should relax. They are nice and will offer years of good service.

Like you, we decided on quartz. We had that in Woodstock and loved it. Of course this time it will not be with mirror speckles. 😂😂😂. Huge thank you😊

Irene made it look easy and, following her, it actually is not difficult to make (I never made it before either). Like you, I love roses and of course the other summer blooms make life more colorful. Now I need to talk to AirBNB…. 😡😳. Hugs

    I wondered how you were going to dig up all the dahlias you planted last year. On all the chateau channels I watch, they have never mentioned not having to dig/store at season's end. I am so happy you do not have the extra work for such showy blooms. They definitely hold their own in each room you finish. Not gilding the lily at all. ha! ha! Your peonies are also striking on camera. So glad you have lots of room to create little garden moments. Last day of 4th of July vacation; happy summer guys!

    Delicious cake Irene. My youngest son’s life partner is from Munich, Germany and I love the less sweet desserts he bakes for family functions. Keith has mastered his baking skills to treat all of us with this cake as well as several other German cakes. I have traveled to Germany a few times with my son and Keith as well as traveled Europe with them (always a ton of fun). One of these trips I want to stay in your gite. My son and Keith can’t tolerate American cakes and most desserts because they are way too sweet. Your dahlias are blooming so beautifully despite all of the rain you’ve been having, and yes I have to dig them up and store them over the winter. But it’s so worth it because they are so beautiful. Many hugs. xx

    I was so lucky that I found an amazing kitchen company in my own city. I created all the designs myself and they created exactly what I envisioned. I sure hope you find someone with some skill to create countertops you envision. I a good thing to wait until you are sure about who you hire.

Thank you Irene for bringing this to Patrick, Stuart and us!!! With this 'iffy' weather, which we're also getting here in Vancouver, B.C. our gardens are growing at warp speed and at this rate, they'll all be done and over with before mid Summer!

    Hi sweeties. I loved that you gave Irene full time of the vlog. The cake looks delicious. Hope it tasted delicious as well. I don't understand why people complain about the countertops. These ones work perfectly. I hope the weather is stable at Colombe.
    Hugs and kisses also for the furries. 🥰😘❤️🐕

    Mmmm my favourite things - marzipan and hazelnuts! Oh and whipped cream too! Irene’s cake looked delicious! I’m not much of a baker so I never knew there was such a thing as whipped cream stabilizer.

    I can't believe you have dahlias already.... I am so jealous. Living here in the state of Washington, my dahlias are only about a foot tall. I won't see flowers for another month or two. The cake looks sublime. Now if you only had tastevision. 😋 ❤ Debbie

    Good morning Patrick & Stuart, a most delightful video to watch, so much happening. The cake Irene baked was beautiful and I am sure it tasted great. German baking is ""wunderbaar"" . Now we had a thing here, S. Africans also have a very sweet tooth, hence when I enquired why do we not get Skippy peanut butter here anymore, the representative explained but she also mentioned that they have to make the peanut butter spread "sweater" than they have in Canada! A prime example is our Malva Pudding, but in general our deserts and cake as well as cookies are sweet. You must hear the complaints when it not, they say it is bland baking!! The British bakes are too small :) the American bakes are perfect, I could go on a long time not forgetting the Hungarian and Turkish bakes. Baklava and other phyllo pastries are tremendously sweet, but we love it. You do not eat that all the time, just a intervals. Eat and enjoy and carry on. Nothing beats good healthy fresh cooking and baking. The cacti dahlia is beautiful and so are all the other shapes and sizes. When you decide to do the countertops, it would be like doing a little facelift to the kitchen. Don't be bugged by some comments, it's your life, your chateau, live it!! Did you give the terrors a taste of that leftover marzipan?, oh just a little bit. They could smell the cake hence they were dancing around you and Irene. Oh the Scandinavian countries, they bake a biscuit/cookie type dough and it's shaped into circles and stacked, very flavourful, it's placed on the table and during the conversations each break off a piece and eat and have their coffee or tea! Very sociable I must say. The dough of that baking is usually spicy. So, have a beautiful day, enjoy the new season, enjoy the rain, I know it can become a bit too much, just say to yourself, rather rain than a drought. Many blessings. Kind regards, Elize 😍❤

    That cake looks absolutely delicious! I love whipped cream, vanilla, and hazelnuts, plus the fact that it's not too sweet would make it even better! It was beautiful, too. I'm so looking forward to coming down there in a few weeks!

      Stollen is actually considering fruit bread and I love it too. I hope you get a chance to try the torte……. It is amazing. Love from Colombe ❤

    Irene sure made it look easy on that delicious looking cake. 😋 Ya know, the counter tops are fine 🙂 and like you said, it's not pressing at this time. I loved the dogs walking in and out and you know they were hoping for a dropped morsel. 😁 😂 😀 Beautiful flowers. Only problem with Winters back here, ya half to plant winter hearty plants. 😔 Take care now, and c u Friday 😊 👋 😘

    Cake and flowers, it doesn't get better than this. I am impressed how the dairy seems to come in small containers. I have to buy a large carton of whipping cream if I want organic - I only buy organic.

    • @patrickjourneytothechateau9452
      @patrickjourneytothechateau9452 3 месяца назад

      I agree.. and indeed, it is hard to get larger containers here. Most things are in small portions. We try to buy only organic/bio as well. Best decision ❤❤
