1. 01 Introduction: Thank you for taking this class. In this class, I will
teach you how to make some mini
raspberry cheesecake. First, I will teach you
how to make the batter. Next, I will teach
you how to prepare the patterns and then
how to feel pants. Then I will teach you how to
bake the cake and cool them. Next, I will show you how to
make the raspberry filling. Then we will pipe melted chocolate into the
bottom of each but cake, so that we have a vessel
for the raspberry filling. Then I will teach you how to
make the chocolate ganache. Now, we get to finish our cakes. I would teach you how to fill the bunk cake with the
raspberry filling. And then to finish it off with the drizzle of the
ganache on top, I am a self taught Baker
and cake decorating. Many years ago, I decided I wanted to open up my own home. So I took some classes, read a lot of books,
watch some videos. And of course, did
a lot of practice until I felt like my
cake decorating skills. We're at the level that
I could decorate and make special occasion cakes
for different occasions. I had opened up my own homepage. I had this business for
several years until my husband got a job
offer in New York. We felt like this was
a good group for us. And so I closed my bakery down. We moved across the country. Now here, I do not
want to go through this to open up
another home bakery. I still love baking. As a retired teacher, I entered THE so I have decided to share my screen
with you on Skillshare. This class is aimed
at the baker. They would like to
learn how to make a fun single-serve cake you
can serve for any dinner. I'm excited to teach
you the skills. Let's move on to
lesson number one.
2. 02 Making The Batter: Ready to start making
the cake batter? In this poll, I have
measured out my flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. I'm now ready to dump
this into my stand mixer. I'm going to turn
my stand mixer. Fly up to the very lowest setting so I can
mix together those trying just going to mix it enough to get
them all mixed together. About 30 s. In this bowl. I'm going to whisk together
my moist ingredients. That's gonna be my sour cream, my oil, my extracts,
and my three-eights. Live. Just want a whisk this together. Doing it very slowly
to begin with, I'm breaking the eye except this is not that big of a poll. Now I'm going to
have this yellow. I'm going to slowly add this moist ingredients
to the thrive. While the mixture
is still a memo, I'm going to add my heart. I want to mix that
until it solve well. Once I see that mixed in, well, I'm going to add my
get those turned out. Turn that up. Here we have our cake pan. You can see it is very uneven. In our next lesson, I will show you how
to flower the pants. The batter into the panel.
3. 03 Preparing And Filling The Pans: We're ready to put takes into our pants and then bake them. I have my small cake pans. I have been cake pans. You can always do cupcakes, but you'll have to pour out the middle to put
the raspberry topping. Instead of doing it the
way I'm going to show you. I have a flower based oil and I want to spray
the pan down. Very well. You want to do this right
before you put it in. Not ahead of time. This is being encoded much more than you probably
would a normal cake. Batter is. I'm going to pour it into this cup so that it's
easier to get it into the PAM. Now I want to just my cake
batter that was too full. I want to feel it
two-thirds the way up and that's more than
two-thirds way up. So let me show you that where you can see better for this. Tell us about to
basically tell it gets to the top of that
design in the pan. So as I said, I felt the
one a little bit too full. I do better with the others. Got a little bit too full. Now at this point, so that I don't get
a lot of birth. First of all, I'm
going to try to take a little bit of this, put it into there because I don't have a
spoon but I have a spatula. It's a little bit tricky. Let me get this one
down just a little bit. Now I want to just wipe any heart that I got
because I don't love that. Got way too big of a piece
of very smart people. This pan is ready for the oven. Now I'm going to spray this pan down because I can fit
two pounds in the oven. And then I'm going to fill the Santa Ana watch carefully. Stop when it gets there. The top. Now I'm looking at this and I can see a lot of the chocolate
chips in the bottom. So I went in and I got to Spoon, Spoon, let's get
some of this excess. I'm going to take
these chocolate chips that didn't come
out so well as I was pouring and just stick
them in each of those things. Because I want some
chocolate chips to be in each of the key things. You want to try to
spread it around. Because you don't want big
blobs of chocolate chips. So that's the chocolate chips
that were left from fewer. Putting out Last one. I'm going to dump the rest of my batter into my
cup so I can port. Hey, I have three
more and if put fell for at least the first bag, the language, go
back in as my spoon, try to grab a few chips
out and put them in. Obviously, I'm gonna be doing
more than one. Perhaps. They came because of
what size my hands are. Probably going to
get two or three more of these
pancakes in a second.
4. 04 Baking And Cooling The Cakes: Ivan is preheated. Going to stick these in. I'm going to set the timer for toilet 2 min and then
check them and see if the timeline
is just gone off. I want to pull this
out carefully. I'm going to look at
which one looks like. I'm just going to
pop by cake tester. And as you can see, it comes out dry and then
another one and another one. It comes out drawing
all of them. So we're ready to take
these out of the app. I've taken these
out of the oven. I'm going to let them sit for 10 min in the past
before I dump amount, then we'll dump them out. These are sat for about 10 min. I'm just going to
very intensely person going to see if they dump out without doing
a knife like this. Look how nicely
though stumped out. And I'm gonna do the same with help this one. We're going to let these
now completely cool. And I'm going to finish cooking because remember I had a
little bit about our leftover. The rest of the cake batter.
5. 05 The Raspberry Filling: Ready to start making
raspberry filling? The first thing we
wanted to put two cups. Raspberries. I like to use frozen
because I can trust because there'll be about the same amount of
brightness in them now too, that I wanted to add my
sugar and half of my water. Now I want to bring
this to a boy. I got to turn the heat on and I can keep it at a pretty
high temperature. And I'm just going to
stir this, mix it around. As this raspberries and the sugar dissolves
and it all heats up, it will become easier to mix. But I wanted to
try to get it all down in the pan as much as possible and the heat to
be evenly distributed. So that's why I was starting. We're going to bring
this to boil and then we will simmer it to similar
raspberries down. I have it on a fairly high heat to get it to come to a boil. When we get to the
simmering stage course, we will turn the heat down. As you can see, it's getting more liquidity and it's not quite boiling yet. As you listen, you can hear it's starting to get that Boyle. I'm going to stir
it one more time. See if it keeps the Boyle. Did not keep the boil. Keep that heel high for just
another half a minute or so. Now, I'm going to turn the
heat down to medium low. And we're going to let
this simmer for 18 min. While it's simmering,
I will start occasionally because I really
don't want it to burn. But I don't want us
to constantly just enough to make sure
that it doesn't burn. This has similar to that 18 min. What I wanna do now is I
want to dump this in here. And I want to get all of the seeds out once
I've dumped that. And now I'm just
going to go like this and get all of the
liquid in that home. It'll take you a few minutes, get all that liquid
to go into the bone. One thing I like to
do as ever saw people come and scrape the bottom of the ball because it
likes to stick there. I can get more food faster. I really do want to get all of the good part is it goes through only the seeds
to be left in them. See, we're getting down
to not having a whole lot of hope the part left
just a tiny bit in there. So I'm trying to push
it through the mess. That's pretty much what I do. One more scrape on the bottom. Everything that's
sticking on the bottom. There you can see maybe
teeny bit of seeds, but it's pretty
much not in seats. Now we're going to take this, dump it back in my pen. I have here
one-fourth cup water. We're going to add one
tablespoon of corn starch to that water to make a slurry, to thicken up my
raspberry mix that M What's the cornstarch
is completely dissolved. I'm going to whisk my slurry
into my Raspberry Pi. And I wanted to bring
this back to boil. Shouldn't take long
because this is still hot. I am staring at this
time while I'm bringing it to a boil because I don't want my cornstarch
to lump up. Sorry. I had that still
turn for this thing. So what I did is I poured the corn start
mixture in there. I stirred it, and I continue
to stir it with the heat on a fairly high heat
until it came to a boil, which it was attaboy opened
by, stirred it down. And now it's in the
simmering stage. And it's going to
simmer for about 5 min. So we'll be back in about 5 min. When the cyst There's the boil. Turn it down to the stage. It has been about five-minutes. And as you see when
I started that, it's nice and thick. Now going to turn the heat off. And I'm gonna go ahead and pour this
back into that ball. Mainly because it'll cool faster in that boat and
it will in the pound. Now, we need this to completely cool before we work with it. So we'll be back when
the bank cakes of cold and show you
what we do next.
6. 06 The Chocolate Plugs: Our cake right here have cooled. Well, we need to do now is
we need to feel that bottom with chocolate so that the raspberry filling
will stay in the center. Let me show you how
we're gonna do that. I have punching bag and I'm just going to stick
melted chocolate wafers. Piketty not going to need
tongue because I'm just wanting to fill that
hole at the bottom. I'm not going to fail
the whole thing. I'm just filling the bottom. So I'm going to start
with this amount. I'm going to stick it in
the microwave for a minute. On a medium 50%
powered temperature. Well, my chocolate is melting. I'm going to put
these on this pen. Now if you want to trim
this up right there, you could turn this up
this way so you can see and you could
kinda trim this way. It'll couldn't it down here? Just kinda trim it so
that it's not sticky. Now, you can do that. Or you can just
leave them and say Are either way it's gonna work. I trim that one because
it was sticking out a lot and this one is
sticking out a lot. So I'm going to go ahead
and trim that one. But I'm not going to trim our just the ones that
are really sticking out. Otherwise, the ones that I
really felt way to full, you can kinda tell
when you look at them if they needed trim job because you'll see
something that says kinda sticking out more
than you wanted to. If nothing's really sticking
out more than you want, and obviously you're not
going to want to trim it. And you'll notice
while I'm trimming it, an angry in my life, actually in I get a
much cleaner cuts. Looks much nicer. That can cross that. I do have two more. One. Although I'm gonna go
ahead and shut down just a little bit to you probably heard my
microwave doing. I'll get to that
in just a second. I want to make sure these
are already on this side. Really tell it was way too much. So there's a lot more to come. When you look in some of
these that will fail to full. You can see that it does
not go all the way through. I'm still going to fit some chocolate in it
just to make sure. Now I just wanted
to squish this. Make sure it's all Milton. One such question and I
feel no lumps in there. I'm still feeling a
couple of months. I don't want there
to be any lumps. I can't get rid
of all the lumps. Th1, I'll have to
cook it longer. Usually just squishing. Now I'm going to take some
scissors and I'm just going to cut the tip off of what should be able to
see exactly what I'm doing. I'm just going to print some chocolate filling
that bottom in red. I do the same here. These two have some
cake on the bottom, but you really can't move
it after you've done it. If it's like like this one here where
it's got the bottom. So this one, I'm
going to fill it. And that's going to
plug the bottom. I'm going to go
ahead and do this. I think I came to some solid. There we go to all of these. If I find I did not
melt enough chocolate. And Altis melts a
little bit more. The main thing is, is when I'm done, this is going to need
to set up until it's completely solid
without removing them. Because I want I want the
raspberry to not fall out. Where to go. Get him down low. Now, these all need to sit
till it's completely setup. If you wanted to set up quicker, you could put it in
the fridge or you can just let it sit at room temperature and
give it an hour or two. I've actually decided
I want these to set up faster than
a couple of hours. So I'm going to stick these in the freezer for
about 10:15 minutes. So there's chocolate
can become hard. I don't really want
to freeze the k, but I want this chocolates
become heart will be back to put the rest pain
when this is set up.
7. 07 Chocolate Ganache: We're ready to make
the ganache that's gonna be drizzled on
top of our cakes. In this bowl, I have one
cup of chocolate chips. The same chocolate chips
I used in the bunk cakes. I'm going to go ahead
and add one can of sweetened condensed milk
to our chocolate chips. And I want to start
out just a little bit. The chocolate and
the milk combined. We're now going to put this in the microwave on a high
temperature for one minutes. This has kicked for 1 min. Now we're just
going to stir this. We want to stir it until
all of the chocolate is melted into the milk. And we're hoping that
one minutes enough. If not, we can stick it
back in the microwave but only do 15 s bursts. Not a full minute. Well, I do want to
scrape the bowl. Sure. You get all that
milk incorporated. That one-minute seems
to have been enough. These one mini chocolate chips.
8. 08 Finishing The Cakes: I just realized I
didn't have to camera. So let me walk you
through what I did. I made sure that all of cakes were separated and the
chocolate was not sticking. Then I've checked my spoon and I spooned in the
raspberry in the center. And I was able to get
from that two cups of raspberry ten field pancakes. And I have for that do
not have any feeling in. So I'm going to have to
decide what I want to do. Maybe I will fill that with
chocolate or something else. What I ended up doing, remember I had four
cakes that did not have, that I didn't have
feeling for it. I did have some raspy
preserves in the fridge. So not going to
be quite as good, but it's getting to work. And so I put the raspberry
preserved in the center. Now what I want to do though, is I want to take this and I'm going to start by
spreading it along with top. I do want it to go
down the sides. Just kinda coax it will
go down the sites. We want to totally cover that centers so that you
can see the Raspberry. You want there to be enough
to go down the sides, need to coax it. So there's one of
them completely done. And of course, your big
spoonful covers the center, coax it to the edge so it
can fall down the sides. So when you're done, you're
probably going to have one-and-a-half spoonfuls of
chocolate that you put on. As I said, it's not
dripping down the sides, cooks it down sites. You want it to go down the side. Here's my big Pam spread that stood at center
and spread it out. I do want it to put
down the sides. Said it seems to take
about one-and-a-half of these tape spoons to get
it to go down the sides. You can see how I'm
gonna go ahead and continue doing this until I have all of them
covered with the ganache. Then there'll be ready to serve. I found like an auspicious a little bit thicker
than I wanted it to be. So I just added a little
bit of light cream. If you don't have
like crania could use milk to help thin the stem. Again, a better consistency. Now let's try the next cake
and see how that goes. So I just spend less. On top. We have a
good downsides. Notice that's doing
a lot better. Going down the sides. Go ahead and finish
yours and I'll finish what you can see. I've put the topping
on all of them. Now we're just going to let the setup and then
we're ready to serve.
9. 09 Final Thoughts: Thank you for taking this class. We had fun making our
chocolate raspberry cake. We first learned
how to make badder. We then prepare her pants and
fills them with the batter. After the pounds were failed, we picked our mini bumpkins. Once the cakes. We let them cool
for about 10 min. And then we took them out of the pants and let them finish. While the cakes for cooling, we made a raspberry filling
to put in the central hard, but once the kids cold, we melted some chocolate, put it in the bottom of
the hole of our bunk cake so that we had a area
where the raspy to go, What's the chocolate had set up? We made the chocolate ganache that went on top
of the bunk games. Then we feel the
center of our pancakes with the raspberry filling and then spread the
chocolate ganache. I hope your k turned out the way that your project for this
class is to be these kids. The recipe is in the
project section. Please make sure
to post a picture of your case when
you're done and tell us how it went from my
children to your kids.
