▶Blueberry Cake◀
⊙Genoise⊙
Please watch my detailed “how to make a perfect genoise” video. Link:
• Foolproof secrets to a...
⊙Syrup⊙
Water 40
Sugar 20g
Cointreau (orange liquor) 4g
① Bring water & sugar to a boil.
② Add the Cointreau. I strongly recommend adding some sort of liquor (like kirsche) but if you don’t have any, just leave it out.
⊙Blueberry Confit (that uses pectin NH)⊙
Blueberry Puree (if self-made, then just blend your blueberries with 10% sugar.) 65g
Sugar 8g
Pectin NH 1.5g
Lemon juice 2g
① Mix sugar & pectin.
② Heat the bluberry puree and when it’s 40℃ add in the sugar & pectin.
③ Once it starts boiling boil for another 1~2min and add the lemon juice.
④ Let it boil for another 10sec and take it off the heat.
⑤ Let it cool down, chill it in the fridge and use it when needed.
⊙Whipped Cream⊙
Heavy Cream 400g
Sugar 40g
Mascarpone 40g
Cointreau 6g (replaceable with another type of liquor like kirsche)
① Add everything into a bowl and whip to desired consistency.
⊙Assembly⊙
Please refer to the video for the assembly. Yes, you do need plenty of fresh blueberries!!
How to store: It’s best served 3~4hrs after the assembly (all the flavours come together). Can store in the fridge for up to 2days.

Hey Hanbit Cho big fan! I recently looked at your tempered chocolate recipe and instructions on your website and wonder if you ever plan on making a video here? I learn so much more watching than reading and I LOVE your content so much!

[@HanbitCho]

thanks! yeah i'm thinking of making a chocolate tempering video.

[@wildflo267]

I made this cake for my sister's birthday!! The genoise is amazing, it holds so much syrup; I applied 2x the syrup for each layer on both sides, covered them in cling film and refrigerated them overnight. They were soft, light and perfectly moist. I made my own blueberry puree at home, and I reduced it to the point I didn't even need pectin. I strained and refrigerated it, ready for next day assembly. I did the insert cream and icing cream in separate batches. I needed a more stable whipped cream, so in addition to the mascarpone I also incorporated gelatin. There was no "leaking", and the cake held its shape for a solid 3 hours in the fridge, and 2 hours outside before we cut it up. For the insert cream, I used 250 g of cold whipped cream, 25 g of granulated sugar, 1.5 tbsp of vanilla extract + brandy, and 1/2 tsp gelatin powder bloomed in 2 tbsp water, melted and tempered it using cream and poured it into the whipped cream at soft peak stage. I reduced the gelatin to 1/4 tsp for the icing cream.

[@HanbitCho]

nice nice!

[@taew89]

Hi Chef, I tried to make this cake for my husband's birthday today..it was a hit. I followed all the steps you showed from making the genoise, confit and insert/icing cream. the only thing I forgot to do was to mix the genoise in low to make the bubbles finer....next time :) thank you.

What is truly amazing is that it's NOT a hard cake : it's a génoise with blueberry "jam" and whipped cream. But it's so elegant, the assembly and decoration are top notch. @hanbit : do you do entremets with dacquoise or Joconde? I'm very curious of what is the Korean standard with those biscuits. Thanks!

Hi Hanbit, thank you for another great video! I have 2 questions please: 1. What do you glaze the decoration blueberries with so they look so shiny? 2. Off-topic - what's the name of the song you use when at the end of your video? 🙃 Thank you for taking the time to review my questions, and looking forward to the English version of your book!!

[@rulescoffee4651]

Looks superbly tempting as usual!! ^^ Thanks for the recipe Hanbit! Anyway, what brand of whipping cream that are you typically using? Is it non dairy one?

[@HanbitCho]

i always use dairy.

[@mickeytanadi]

@@HanbitCho but yours looks sooooo white 😮 In my country, the dairy one looks a little bit 'broken white'

[@couldbecooking]

I'm so used to using strawberries when it comes to cakes with whipped cream that I forget blueberry as an option! 😁

[@HanbitCho]

haha yeah!

[@irfanemoussa7921]

Hi, thank you very much ! I have a question please, I'm in a warm country, can i do the same recipe or must I add gelatin in the icing cream ?

[@HanbitCho]

oh it does help adding gelatin!

[@undertaker6308]

Hello! I have been watching and following your recipes and I for sure love them! Especially the genoise, always use it on my cakes. But one thing still makes me curious, I still haven't gotten a hold of this ingredient so I don't know it nor know anything about it. What is Pectin and what does it exactly do? Is it that needed or is it optional and are there any alternatives? Thank you in advance for the kind answer!

[@HanbitCho]

it's a gelling agent. in this case there won't be a substitute.

[@nihlify]

Where do you live? In Europe it's fairly common and I belive you can get ahold of it in most places in the world. It's just a thickening agent usually extracted commercially from citrus peel. It's also what makes a lot of jams and such thickens as apples, citrus and some berries have a lot of pectin in them.

[@vivih2236]

Great video and instructions as usual from you Chef! May I ask what percent fat is the whipping cream? Mine is 40% milk fat and it always stiffen up so fast and I have difficulty achieving a smooth consistency.

[@HanbitCho]

yeah i use 35%

[@elaineng9714]

Hello Chef Hanbit, for strawberry shortcake, do I just replace the blueberries portion with strawberry?

[@HanbitCho]

yeah pretty much!

[@jaylenlee1029]

Hi Chef, just a quick check with you, the amount indicated on your link for the creams, are the total amount or for each separate batch.?

[@HanbitCho]

it's the total amount.

[@elizabetheng9781]

Hi chef, can I use chocolate geniuses cake instead vanilla. Does the mascarpone cheese blend well or shd I omit it?

[@HanbitCho]

yeah i guess it'll work?

[@DefiJusuf]

Hi Chef..how to stabilize the cream.. do you recommend gelatine or milk powder or cornstarch ? In hot summer weather is challenging sometimes ..thank you

[@HanbitCho]

gelatine helps.

[@rha9434]

i have to make this😍😍❤️!! , quick question : where i live there isn't a lot of whipped cream brands literally the highest fat i can find is 35% which makes it really hard for me to ice cakes nicely . the cream is just a bit runny even if it's the perfect consistency it doesn't hold and i can't make a nice crown. is there anything i can do in this case to be able to ice cakes professionally and nicely . im desperate

[@HanbitCho]

it's really down to experience and practice!

[@Nse204]

Do you ever use something to stabilize the whipped cream? I prefer this to buttercream icing but it doesn't hold up so well at room temperature during long events or transporting it to another location.

[@HanbitCho]

Nah not really.

[@moteldepott5777]

Hi chef thank you for your videos you really explain things in a simple and easy way to understand. I have a question though, you call this cake a short cake but say that it is a genoise. Wouldn’t it be a sponge cake in this case, to my understanding short cake is a type of cake/pastry (which is not sponge) rather than the fact that a cake has been layered with berries much like I wouldn’t call a savory pancake an English muffin. Thank you in advance for input
