Quick pastry cream

Thanks, Migoya. Instant magic pastry method worked!

There is a vague eggy taste, may be due to the stray egg whites.

Compared to the PC at Glacé, this is a lot looser. Anyway, I made a mistake. I forgot to add the sugar to the milk, added after the hot milk had been whisked in and mixture coagulated. The mixture became more liquid after the sugar was added. I wonder if it would have made much more difference.

Pastry cream
A
Milk 950
Sugar 260

B
Milk 50
Yolk 240
Cornstarch 57

C
vanilla 1t

Combine B and sieve to remove lumps. Heat A to rolling boil. Dump into B all at once, whisking constantly. Add C when cool.

Note: Found updated recipe.

Sheet genoise

Made 30x40cm sheet genoise with following:

Egg 385/312
Sugar 190/156
Milk 130/104
HK flour 190/156
Butter 130/104

Total: 1025/832

Heated egg and sugar to about 60C. Beat at high speed until volume almost there, then switched to medium/low speed for smaller air bubbles and finer texture. Added milk, beat til desired volume. Folded in flour in 3 additions. Folded in butter. Transferred to sheet pan and evened top. Baked for 23 mins at 170C, rotated halfway.

As you can see the cake is rather high. Was using first set of weights, batter filled pan to the brim.

Cooked flour frosting

New frosting yay! It is quite temperature stable. Great for rustic home made looking cakes. Will consider reducing sugar next time and adding a little salt.

Photos taken every 10 mins apart. It is holding its shape. I am happy.
