## The Allure of the Orange Cheesecake

The union of tart oranges and creamy cheese brings forth a symphony of flavors that is the Orange Cheesecake - a delectable masterpiece that intertwines tangy freshness with the indulgent creaminess of the cheesecake. This dessert is a delightful rendition of the classic, bestowing upon it a burst of citrus, leaving a zesty aftertaste that compels you to reach for another slice.

## Ingredients You'll Need

Now, let's get down to brass tacks. Here's what you'll need:

### For the base:

- 70g of butter
- 130g of galette biscuits

### For the filling:

- 3 sheets of gelatine
- 1 unwaxed orange for zesting and juicing, plus additional orange slices for garnish
- 2 eggs
- 75g of caster sugar
- 450g of cream cheese
- 200ml of double cream

## How to Craft Your Orange Cheesecake

## Here's the game plan:

1. Begin by melting the butter over a low heat for the base.
2. Break the galettes into pieces, blitz them in a blender until they're crumbly, and mix these crumbs with the melted butter.
3. On a round serving dish, place a pastry ring with a diameter of 20cm and a height of 3–4cm. Pour in the base mixture, then use a spatula to compact it tightly. Set it in the fridge to cool and set.
4. Moving on to the filling, soak the gelatine sheets in warm water to soften.
5. Zest your orange and chop the zest into tiny pieces.
6. Squeeze the juice out of the same orange and heat this in a small saucepan.
7. Wring out the gelatine sheets, then add them to the heated orange juice, allowing them to dissolve gradually.
8. Separate the yolks from the egg whites. Whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and orange zest.
9. Incorporate the cream cheese, double cream, and orange juice into the mixture. Continue whisking until it's smooth and even.
10. In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gently fold this into the orange juice and cheese mixture.
11. Pour this filling into the pastry ring and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until it sets.
12. Your Orange Cheesecake is best served chilled, adorned with orange slices on top.

## Journey into the Heart of Chocolate

Ever wondered how a simple cocoa bean transforms into the irresistible Savoy Style Chocolate Cake? As every baker knows, the journey from the humble cocoa bean to the velvety smooth chocolate cake is nothing short of magic. Today, we are sharing a simple, yet indulgent recipe for a Savoy Style Chocolate Cake that you can easily prepare at home.

## Your Culinary Companion: The Ingredient List

Before we embark on this delicious journey, let’s gather our companions, the ingredients. Please remember to measure everything in grams (unless mentioned otherwise) for precision.

## Praliné Heart of the Cake (prepare the night before, if possible):

### Chocolate Praline Insert:

- 130g milk chocolate, chopped
- 30g praliné cream

### Pan Preparation:

- very soft butter
- 50g Muscovado sugar mixed with 50g cocoa nibs

### The Chocolate Cake:

- 50g Canola oil
- 10g honey
- 50g dark chocolate, chopped
- 100g Muscovado sugar or brown sugar
- 85g all-purpose flour, sifted
- 15g cocoa powder, sifted
- 200g egg whites
- 90g white sugar
- Pinch of salt

### Chocolate Ganache (optional, but highly recommended):

- 120g heavy whipping cream
- 100g dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa), chopped

## Unveiling the Magic: The Preparation Method

1. Start with the Praliné Heart of the Cake. Melt the milk chocolate in a double boiler or microwave. Stir in praliné cream and pour the mixture onto a piece of baking paper to flatten. Once cooled, cut a ring with a narrower diameter and keep it refrigerated.
2. For the Cake, preheat the oven to 160C degrees. Grease the pan thoroughly with soft butter and sprinkle the sugar-cocoa nibs mixture around the sides.
3. In a small saucepan, heat oil and honey. While still hot, pour over the chopped dark chocolate, stirring until melted. Set this aside to cool.
4. In a separate bowl, combine Muscovado sugar, flour, and cocoa.
5. Using a mixer, beat egg whites, white sugar, and a pinch of salt until a firm foam forms.
6. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the whipped egg whites until evenly mixed.
7. Fold in the cooled chocolate-oil mixture. Pour half the batter into the pan, place the chilled praliné ring on top, then pour over the remaining batter.
8. Bake for about 30 minutes. Once the cake feels firm to the touch, remove it from the oven and let it cool.
9. For the Ganache, heat the cream until it's about to boil. Pour it over the chopped dark chocolate and let it sit for a couple of minutes before stirring. Pour the glossy ganache over the cooled cake.

## Pairing and Serving Suggestions

Imagine taking a bite of your homemade Savoy Style Chocolate Cake and following it up with a sip of red wine, the complexities of the wine unraveling the deep flavors of the chocolate. Or perhaps, you'd prefer a cup of robust coffee to counter the sweet indulgence. Either way, this cake pairs beautifully with both and elevates your dessert experience.

## Navigating Ingredient Substitutes

In case you're having a hard time sourcing some ingredients, don't worry, we have you covered:

- Can't find Muscovado sugar? Substitute it with an equal amount of brown sugar.
- Don't have cocoa nibs? Use finely chopped dark chocolate instead.
- Praliné cream can be replaced with any nut butter of your choice, though the flavor might slightly vary.

## Key to Delicious Success: Useful Tips

- Use the best quality dark chocolate you can find, it makes all the difference.
- Be sure to beat the egg whites until firm. This step adds lightness to your cake.
- When pouring ganache, ensure the cake is completely cooled to avoid melting the ganache.

A popular dessert in Filipino cuisine, Chef RV's Egg Pie is a culinary masterpiece, baked to a golden-brown finish and filled with creamy custard. A joy to savor, let's unravel the mystery behind this wonderful treat.

## In the Mix: Ingredients Unveiled

Before we plunge into the baking process, let's gather our ingredients. Do remember, precision is the key to perfection when it comes to baking.

This recipe produces two 9-inch pies.

### For the crust:

- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 180 grams salted butter, cut into cubes

- 6 whole eggs
- 6 egg yolks

## Let's Get Cooking!

### Behind the Curtain: Crafting the Crust

1. Start by preheating your oven to 200°C (around 390°F). Remember, it's hot in the kitchen!
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour and sugar. Rub the cold butter cubes into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs. Baking is a hands-on affair, so don't shy away!
3. Add the egg yolks and water, then fold it until a dough forms. Imagine you're gently tucking a baby into bed—that's how delicate you need to be.

### Creamy Goodness: The Filling

1. In another bowl, whisk together the condensed milk, evaporated milk, whole eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract. The result should be a creamy, silky blend that feels like a sweet, liquid velvet.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. You're looking for meringue-like fluffiness.

### From Dough to Delight: The Assembly

1. Roll out the dough, and fit it into your pie dish. It should look like a blanket, comfortably nestled.
2. Pour the custard filling into the crust, and then carefully spread the beaten egg whites on top.
3. Bake for 45-55 minutes until the crust turns golden and the filling sets.

## Crafting the Cinnamon Marble Cake

1. Start by preheating your oven to 180 degrees Celsius and lining your loaf pan with parchment paper.

3. Use an electric mixer to beat the butter and sugars into a light and fluffy texture. Feel free to sing along to your favorite tune as you do this!
4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Patience is the key here.
5. Time to bring in the flour and baking powder. Sprinkle half of it over the butter mixture and stir gently. Add half the remaining cream. Stir again, but remember, don't overdo it. Repeat with the remaining flour, baking powder, and cream.
6. Spoon out 4-5 dollops of this mixture and add it to the cinnamon cream concoction. Combine well.
