Why is there more and more interest in making cakes with sour cream- It's not hard to guess. Sour cream - sour milk product. Its fat content is not as high as that of butter. Using sour cream in combination with gelling components, you can completely reduce the consumption of fatty and high-calorie components to a minimum so as not to completely give up your favorite dessert.
Interesting about the biscuit.
The basis of the biscuit is sugar, eggs, flour. Biscuit dough becomes fluffy, mainly due to the properties egg white. The recipe for a biscuit consisting, literally, of "1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar and 5 eggs" involuntarily comes as a surprise. Because it is not clear why you need so much flour and sugar.
Let's count. The weight of one medium-sized egg, without shell, is about 50 g.
5 eggs, respectively - 250 g. A glass of sugar - 200-250 g; a glass of flour - 140-160 g.
The weight of the dry mass in such a recipe is almost twice the weight of the eggs, and this despite the fact that the eggs are not 100% liquid! What product can be obtained by following this recipe? The answer is obvious.
Therefore, for any biscuit dough, the presence of fresh and chilled eggs is more important than flour and sugar. Flour contains gluten and helps bind the dough during baking. Having a large mass and density, in relation to eggs, it can precipitate the whipped mass so that you have to throw out the "stone" cake immediately after baking.
The ratio of flour, sugar and eggs in the biscuit dough should be such that in ready dough there was more free moisture, that is, for 50 g of eggs, add 15 g of sugar and no more than 20 g of flour. Then the finished biscuit will always be light, soft and tasty. Increasing sugar, by the way, does not increase the sweetness of the product. In biscuits, additional sweetness is obtained by impregnating the finished, cooled semi-finished product with syrup.
Gelatin or agar?
Speaking of jelly cakes, you need to immediately stop at the choice of the gelling component.
Let's leave pectin for the preparation of fruit and berry jelly, which, by the way, will be a very appropriate addition to jelly sour cream, but sour cream jelly with a stable texture based on pectin will not work. There are two more options for gelling sour cream: gelatin and agar-agar.
Despite the common properties of these types of thickeners - the ability to turn a liquid into a gelatinous dense mass, there are significant differences between them. In addition to the fact that gelatin is extracted from the skins, joints, cartilage tissues of animals, and agar-agar is obtained from seaweed, the principle of interaction of thickeners is also different.
Gelatin is dissolved at a low temperature. The critical temperature for this thickener is below 0° and above 60°. Under this temperature regime, it loses its gelling properties. Moreover, re-cooling a dish gelatinized with gelatin does not give the desired result. In addition, gelatin has a low viscosity in an acidic environment, so jelly from acidic fruits and berries can only be prepared by increasing the amount of gelatin by 1.5 - 2 times, depending on the acid content in the dish. Gelatin, food grade "A" is obtained from pork skins, gelatin "B" - from parts of cattle. The latter is of higher quality.
Agar-agar is dissolved in water at a temperature close to boiling. It is more resistant to acid than gelatin. Jelly products based on gelatin begin to melt, lose their shape and density under the hot rays of the summer sun, while for agar the air temperature on a hot summer afternoon is completely "indifferent". In an acidic environment, the gelling properties of agar-agar, unlike gelatin, on the contrary, increase.
And the last comparative criterion: it is difficult to find high-quality gelatin, which does not contain any smell reminiscent of its animal origin. Therefore, it is better to use it for the preparation of jelly, jellied dishes, where gelatin will naturally combine with the products that make up these dishes. Agar has no smell at all.
About sour cream in a jelly cake.
Sour cream has a fat content of 10 to 60%. Like any fermented milk product, it is useful for digestion and has high dietary properties.
For sour cream, fatty sour cream containing a lower percentage of rennet is more suitable. But for the preparation of sour cream jelly, you can use sour cream of any fat content. The taste of such a jelly, of course, will not be the same, although a dense and stable consistency can be created using a thickener. Sour cream jelly from a fatter product will have a characteristic creamy taste. Low-fat sour cream, rather, will resemble yogurt or kefir.
Gelled sour cream will acquire many different flavors if you add fruits or juices, chocolate, alcohol extracts or other flavors to it. Considering that sour cream jelly has a white, matte color, it is possible, with the help of additives, to create a very bright, multi-colored dessert.
To reduce the content of rennet in low-fat sour cream, it is pre-filtered, keeping it suspended above the pallet, in a gauze filter.
Any fruits and berries are perfectly combined with fermented milk products to taste. Here it is necessary to exclude the addition of only those ingredients to sour cream that can cause heaviness in the stomach, indigestion. In particular, this exception to the rule applies, for example, to pears, melons and some other fruits.
The combination of taste should also be taken into account. If sour cream has a pronounced sour-milk taste, then, most likely, its combination with sour types of berries and fruits will enhance the effect. It is possible that increasing the amount of sugar will help correct this deficiency if you really want to use just such a composition, but do not forget that sugar will also increase the separation of liquid from fruits and sour cream, and the cream will become watery.
Of course, you can store a jelly cake on sour cream for a very short time, given its very delicate composition.
Let's move on to examples of successful combinations of sour cream in your favorite dessert.

The main thing in this dessert is to properly prepare the gelatin.

Good day to all and good mood! After all, it is the mood that often pushes us to certain feats. Here I was suddenly “covered” at 11 pm and there was an inexplicable desire to cook a jelly cake with fruits. This idea was prompted by the remnants of sour cream and a peach with a few strawberries. I clearly imagined a bright dessert with a delicate texture and pieces of fruit.
There is not much time for cooking, because. I want to sleep, so I prepared the recipe according to an accelerated program - without baking. The preparation did not cause any difficulties, everything was mixed, but left to harden. By morning it was ready.
I needed:
V cold water diluted gelatin and left it to swell for 20 minutes.
During this time, whipped sour cream with sugar and vanilla sugar.
Melted the swollen gelatin over low heat. You should get a homogeneous liquid mass, but do not bring it to a boil.
Gently pour it into the sour cream mass, stirring thoroughly so that the dairy product does not boil.
I cut the strawberries and peach into small pieces, you can do it like in my photo, you can do it differently.
Introduced fruits and berries into sour cream mousse. Mixed everything carefully. Next, the mass should be poured into a suitable form, but I decided to leave everything in a glass bowl.
Like any jelly product, our cake must harden. Therefore, I safely leave it overnight in the refrigerator. But in general, 4 hours will be enough to cool down.
We decorate an unusual sour cream sweetness to taste - with green mint or pieces of fresh fruit.
Look what beautiful cake in a cut. Bright fruit pieces look very advantageous in a white frozen jelly. At work, the dessert flew away in 5 minutes. If you want a more satisfying cake, then my sour cream and jelly mass can be poured onto a biscuit cake in a detachable form before cooling. Then you get a real festive one.
Another satisfying and simple option is to mix with sour cream and crackers with poppy seeds or sesame seeds along with fruit. And in winter, berries can be replaced with pieces of multi-colored jelly. In general, there are a lot of options for dessert - choose any.
Bon Appetit!
