Ganache

  • Add the remaining chilled heavy cream (400 ml). Beat with a blender and refrigerate overnight to crystallize.

Sea buckthorn confit
  • Mix buckthorn with grapefruit puree, bourbon, and honey; heat to 30 °C.
  • Add a mixture of pectin and salt, bring to a boil, and cook for 2–3 minutes. Cool and pour into a piping bag.

Chocolate tuiles
  • Mix egg whites with powdered sugar.
  • Sift flour with cocoa powder.
  • Combine all the dry ingredients with the egg white mixture, add melted GRANDPRO Tart margarine, and beat with a blender.
  • Spread the tuile batter over textured silicone mold; bake at 180 °C for about 3–4 minutes.

Cocoa sponge cake
  • Heat GRANDPRO Cake margarine and beer in a saucepan until the margarine completely dissolves.
  • Add sugar and cocoa powder; stir.
  • Add an egg and sour cream; stir.
  • Add flour, baking soda, and salt; mix until smooth.
  • Pour the batter into the molds and bake at 180 °C for 15 minutes. Cool.

Plating and garnish
  • Cut the cocoa sponge cake into parts and place it on a plate in a checkerboard pattern.
  • Beat the ganache to steady peaks (not too dense). Put it in a piping bag.
  • Pipe the ganache in a zigzag pattern on the sponge cake; pipe dots of the sea buckthorn confit.
  • Garnish with chocolate tuiles.
