HI! I am Joconde.
This week, I made a fig cake.
I made the Fig puree by mixing sweet purple figs and raspberry puree.
I saw a recipe for French chef Christopher Michalak to make confit by mixing figs with white wine and raspberries. This really velvety fig turned out amazingly delicious.
However, figs contain an enzyme called Ficin, which is a proteolytic enzyme.
This enzyme loses its properties if it is boiled for a long time. I have tried, but it could not set the fig puree.
So I had to use pectin. Pectin gels when boiled with sugar.
Use 0.5 to 1% of pectin mixed with sugar.
Even if you use pectin, it does not set as hard as gelatin.
However, in a cold cake, it retains its good shape.
Here, I decorated it with green figs that are small but very pretty.
The greed figs taste good, and the size and cut section were just perfect for the decoration of the cake.
Purple figs and green figs are slightly different in size, taste, and shape.
It was a fun time making cake with good figs.
See the figs I bought here: m.site.naver.com/0QwsL
The acrylic ring I used when assembling the cake was custom made.
It had appeared in my videos before.
Because it is transparent, it is convenient to use it when making a ‘Fraisier’ style cake decorated on the side.
Watch videos using clear acrylic rings.
