Chocolate Genoise Recipe Demonstration - Joyofbaking.com

Recipe here: www.joyofbaking... Stephanie Jaworski of Joyofbaking.com demonstrates how to make a Chocolate Genoise. For this recipe, we take two layers of Chocolate Genoise and first soak them with an orange flavored sugar syrup. Next, the two Genoise layers are sandwiched together with a thin layer of raspberry jam and a rich and creamy Chocolate Mousse. I like to finish this cake with a shiny Chocolate Ganache and pretty swirls of the Chocolate Mousse.

I love the way you explain steps , how you convert baking tempt. from Fahrenheit to Celsius and how you convert from cups to grams. You are amazingggg.

She talks very quickly

She is really amazing,the best baking channel ever.

[@piedaderudman6043]

I have just started watching your videos and one thing I really appreciate is how detailed you are at explaining the recipe as you go along. And converting the cups into grams does help, especially in europe. I am from Portugal. All the cakes look delicious and beautifully presented. Thank you very much for sharing. 😊❤

I want to try this later.. maybe next month. Hopefully. Because I tried one of your recipe and it turns out great. Hopefully you can always give measurements using a kitchen scale because I am not good at using cups. Thanks for sharing your wonderful recipes. 😘

[@sambil2008]

Hi Stephanie, Thanks for the video. The first time around, the cake turned out great, but the next two times, I am having problems dissolving cocoa powder in the egg batter. It is from the same box of cocoa powder as the first time. Small lumps remain no matter how much I mix and they finally settle at the bottom of the pans while baking. Any suggestions?

[@shilpa6795]

Chocolate mousse didn’t thicken.. any suggestions to fix it? Thanks for all your recipes.

[@taimaasatik2874]

Plz can I cover it with ganache then put fondant?

[@malakoueslati1951]

I wish I had a bigger oven , i have to make half of the batter first then make the second half it takes double the time

[@meenazaheer7851]

What is the thing in front of sugar syrup in a small bowl ?

[@k91221]

Wonderful !! 👍

[@andriannadesilva5284]

Hi can I know if I'm to make this cake in 1 pan and then cut it in half, what size round pan should I use? Can it be made in a square pan too? If so what pan size do you suggest?

[@ali-is9nw]

I am planning on making this , and I do have Cake flour , but it is about 2 years old . Should I use it or get a a new cake flour or just use some All-Purpose Flour. Please help me

[@joyofbaking]

I would check the expiry date on the packaging.

[@rosanneperla]

Are you mixing the dry ingredients or are you folding them in?

[@joyofbaking]

As you saw in the video I folded the dry ingredients into the beaten egg mixture.

[@Dathan]

That cake was a knock out. Just look at your pooch. He's wiped out. That is a beautiful cake and worth all the work you put into it.

[@lindyannfarrier8463]

Would the mousse deflate after a few days in the refrigerator if I keep it for 3 days?

[@joyofbaking]

If you layer it in the cake it won’t deflate.

[@SahraClayton]

I'd love one of you in my kitchen 😂😂❤️❤️

[@Cam-wi3tp]

i see you are using a convection oven,i have one as well,is it still 350 degrees with convection? some bakers say to go 25 degrees lower than required temp

[@joyofbaking]

It depends on your oven. Older convection ovens require a reduction in temperature but many newer ones don’t. Check your oven’s manual to see if they recommend a correction.

[@hana.mauritius2022]

hello Stephanie, i wonder if i can bake genoise 4 days before the birthday. Is the cake still moist?

[@joyofbaking]

If you want to make the genoise that far ahead I would probably freeze the cake. But you could take it out of the freezer the day before you need it.

[@abcabcabc6170]

i made this using a single pan. the top half turned out ok but the bottom half turned out pastey/dense. what is the reason and how do i prevent this from happening? thanks

[@joyofbaking]

If the melted butter isn't completely mixed into the batter, then that can happen.

[@AuroraClair]

Is there anything that can be done about the grainy texture of the leftover mousse that was piped on top of the cake? I find my gamache also grains up if I leave it in the refrigerator :(

[@joyofbaking]

You could try adding a tablespoon or so of heavy whipping cream and whisk it in.

[@AuroraClair]

@@joyofbaking Thank you very much, I'll try that :)

[@anganaadi]

Hi i live in UK and we don't find cake flour here. So if you could please tell me how much cornflour to add to all purpose flour to make it 3/4 cup.

[@joyofbaking]

For 1 cup cake flour, take 1 cup all purpose (plain) flour, remove 2 tablespoons and replace it with 2 tablespoons cornstarch.

[@sclarke3179]

I'm unsure about how much syrup to put on the cake. Do you want to soak it? How much of the prepared syrup would you use for one recipe?

[@joyofbaking]

It depends on the dryness of the cake, but you typically brush a cake with 2 - 4 tablespoons of syrup.

[@faezamumtaz8497]

Plz guide, buttercream frosting is applied on what kind of cakes? Sponge cakes or buttercakes?

[@joyofbaking]

You could use it on most cakes.

[@samplay3267]

What is cake flour? Is it plain flour or self-raising flour? Thank you

[@joyofbaking]

It's not either of those. It's a low protein flour. Here is a page where I talk about the differences in the different types of flour. www.joyofbaking.com/flour.html

[@samplay3267]

@@joyofbaking Many thanks 😊

[@farzanashapna]

I tried this recipe last night, i am not sure, why my cake top was burned..in my 2nd attempt i tried the oven temp to 175 instead of 180. Still burnt but better than 1st one. any suggestions plz?

[@joyofbaking]

If your cake is burning on the top it’s likely you are using the top heating element. You should only use the bottom element as the top is meant for broiling only.

[@nizzaluzhornatarazona978]

Hello Please, could you give me the receta in Spanish ? Thanks Saludos desde Perú

[@joyofbaking]

You could try using google translate. www-joyofbaking-com.translate.goog/ChocolateGenoise.html?_x_tr_sl=en&_x_tr_tl=es&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp

Can I use spring form pan ?

Yes you could do that.

[@AussieAngeS]

What an absolutely beautiful Genoese cake Stephanie, this is an easy recipe and perfect for mother’s day. I was wondering if you could use a hand mixer to mix the eggs in the bowl over the heat instead of a hand whisk ? I was just curious. Thank you

[@joyofbaking]

I've never tried using a hand mixer when warming the eggs, but I think you could do that.

[@houria1139]

But you stay whisking for minimum 10 minutes

[@AussieAngeS]

Joy of Baking thank you it was just an idea to make them more fluffier as I read somewhere you could do that.

[@AussieAngeS]

Hou Ria I’m thinking of the fluffiness of the eggs not the time it takes.

[@nikosganadakis5218]

A pastry chef I know makes genoise using only the egg whites, sugar and flour- he whips them up to a stiff-peaked merengue, folds in the flour and bakes it. His claim is that, well, it's more economical; use the egg yolks for the pastry cream and the whites for the cake. Throw nothing away!

[@misscharwinter2233]

Nikos Ganadakis ??? She didn't throw anything away.

[@nikosganadakis5218]

That's not what I meant. Allow me to expand; a pastry cream requires egg yolks -but that just leaves egg whites that you can't use directly. Yes, you can use them in another recipe, but in most cases, let's be honest, they'll just be cooked or thrown away. So; by using the egg whites for the cake part and the egg yolks for the cream, you minimize wastage of ingredients.

[@bridgettepruitt5452]

Nikos Ganadakis isn't it wonderful that the same cake can have different ingredients, and techniques. That's why we call them recipes.

[@nikosganadakis5218]

Bridgette Pruitt Of course! The greatest thing about cooking in general is that there's far more than just one way to do something. From substituting ingredients, to personal touches to everything imaginable. Don't take my comment for meaning that I disliked the recipe shown here -more that there's a way to do it in such a way as to let you cut down on costs if you want to make a custard rather than a buttercream or mousse. Since most custards use egg yolks, that leaves you with egg whites -and often it can be quite a few of them (the other day I made pastry cream for a cake that left me with 10 egg whites, for instance). It's always a good idea to know your options and choose what suits your needs at the time.

[@sateshmirpuri9977]

Nikos Ganadakis wouldn’t that just make it a normal chocolate sponge cake ?

[@dr.aroojusman8001]

For Raspberry jam i just need to blend and cook resberries with sugar.yeah? No need for gelatin?
