🍋 TORTA FREDDA AL LIMONE di Stefania | Il Ricettario #66

⬇COMPLETE LIST OF INGREDIENTS⬇ The perfect balance between the rounded flavor of cream and the fresh lemon creates the fresh, delicate, and pleasant flavor of this delicious cold cake. So, what's better than a cold lemon cake? This cold lemon cake!!! Because it's quick and easy to make, with just a few healthy and wholesome ingredients that we all have in the refrigerator. It doesn't require baking, because instead of sponge cake, it's made with ladyfingers, which are quickly dipped in a fresh citrus syrup and enveloped in a light and refreshing lemon cream. All covered in a mirror of glossy, thirst-quenching cream that tastes like real lemon and is the color of the sun, decorated with a swirl of white cream and lemon slices that enhance its appearance (as if it weren't already beautiful enough!). To thicken this cream, I decided not to use condensed milk, large quantities of mascarpone (which I reduced to a minimum, 150g for a 22cm cake), or edible gelatin. The result I achieved, using cornstarch as a thickener, is surprising: a soft, light cream that holds its shape perfectly. To color the cream yellow, however, I decided not to use artificial coloring. Instead, I used turmeric powder, which, with its natural and powerful coloring power, gives the topping a bright, sunny yellow color, a delight for the eyes, while leaving the flavor unchanged: in fact, turmeric, in the small amount needed to color this cream, is completely flavorless. TRICKS Add the turmeric a pinch at a time, gradually, until you reach the desired intensity of yellow. But don't overdo it, because if you add too much, the color will inevitably turn green (the cream will still be delicious). Once you've completed the first step and cooked the sugar, cornstarch, and water mixture, add the lemon juice. If, after adding it, you notice that the mixture is too thin, simply cook it for a few seconds over low heat and you'll see it thicken right before your eyes. The resulting lemon cream should only be added to the mascarpone, sugar, and cream mixture when completely cool. This is because if it were hot, it would heat the creamy mixture and it would no longer be possible to work it and whip it with the whisk. To perfectly and effortlessly level the top layer of yellow cream, use a moistened spoon (just dip it in a glass of room temperature water before using it to level the cream). This way, it will slide over the surface of the cream, making it effortless to spread and even out. Follow the video recipe step by step, and in no time, you'll have this delicious lemon cake ready and waiting.
