巧克力戚风 + Swiss meringue buttercream

第一次做有"cream"的生日蛋糕，自己很满意。对于Swiss meringue buttercream真的真的好喜欢，容易做，成功率高，吃时又不会很腻。而且多出来的可以收进freezer里冷冻，要用时拿出来退冰就可以用了。最重要的是蛋糕做好后放到第二天，buttercream不会走样。GOOD! 这蛋糕我用8吋四方模，buttercream涂蛋糕后还剩约80g 。现在我在想可以玩玩挤花了。呵呵……又是时候买烘焙的“玩具”了。

Swiss Meringue Buttercream: 食谱取自Nasi Lemak lover

Ingredients:
100g egg white (3 large eggs)       （我的约118g）
135g sugar
227g unsalted butter, soft but still cold, cut into small equal size of cubes

Method
1. Remove butter from fridge and cut into small cubes, set aside. Lightly whisk egg whites in a mixing bowl, place over a pot of simmering water (double boiler).
2. Add in sugar in 3 batches, whisk sugar and egg whites till sugar is fully dissolved (rub some with your fingers, if it feels grainy, it hasn't dissolved yet), take about 2-3mins.
3. Remove from heat and whisk for about 5mins till peaks are stiff, thick and glossy (Hand mixer speed at 3).
4. At this point, the mixing bowl should be cool to the touch but still slight warm at the bottom.
5. Place the bowl of meringue on top of a large bowl with few ice cubes and water. 
6. With the mixer at low, add in the butter cube one by one, ensuring that each addition is well incorporated before adding the next one.
7. Beat till mixture become curdles, stop the mixer, take a spatula, continue to fold and stir till the mixture become creamy and satiny. (Even the mixture not totally smooth also ok, because when you add coloring, you need to stir and this time it will turn smooth).
8. Add colouring if desired and mix till evenly distributed.
