"Sometimes we feel that what we do is just a drop in the ocean, but the ocean would be less if a drop are missing"
Madrid is a city where you will always discover new things. Like any other great capital, moves constantly and always offers cutting edge to its inhabitants and visitors. On my last visit, I decided to look for some ecological and organic markets. This type of local trendsetters and as well as being a nest full of eco products, are also places of pilgrimage for foodies and kitchenettes. Are you coming with me? Let's go!
Today, I propose a candy that takes me directly to my school years: the tigretones. Recently, my son asked me if really were good. I bought him one but as little accustomed to the industrial bakery, not liked it very much. I refused to taste to remain you to identify my cherished tigretones, so I decided to make them at home. The result is this and I hope you enjoy it as much as I liked us. Enjoy!

Directions
1 preheat the oven to 175 degrees (convection function if you have and if not then heat up and down but then put it to 180 degrees). Prepare the mold with a greaseproof above paper and grease well.
2. in a large bowl place the flour with almond flour and mix well, making sure there is no lump.
3. in bowl of electric mixer, mix the eggs, yolks and sugar and mix for one minute at speed lower middle. After that minute, speed up to medium-high and beat for 5 minutes.
4. stop the mixer and get off with a spatula that has been left on the walls. Back to beat on high speed for 5 minutes. At this point, the mixture will be almost white, very creamy, and will have doubled its volume. book.
5. in another bowl of electric mixer tip the egg whites and with the rod riding speed media for about a minute until they are foamy.
6 lower the speed and add the 111 g sugar. Increase speed and beat for about 3 minutes until the whites form soft peaks and are brilliant.
7. Add in twice the flour mixture and cocoa to the mix of egg yolks and with a spatula mix with outflanking to keep the air in our mix.
8 take the bowl with the mounted egg whites and add half to the cocoa mixture. Once well mixed with a spatula and outflanking, add the other half and repeat the operation.
9 pour into the mold. You must give a layer fine and uniform.
10 bake for 13-15 minutes until the pinched with the help of a needle is it out clean and without traces of mass.
11 remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack without removing from pan.
12. now we will prepare the cream. In a bowl put the cream well cold, sugar and vanilla and with the help of a few rods beat until desired consistency is reached. Refrigerate.
13. when the cake is cool, we unmold. If not we are going to use at the time, wrap well with two layers of paper film and put in the fridge until half an hour before using it. Then remove it from the refrigerator and waiting half an hour for is tempered and is flexible. It is important not to remove the plastic wrap until half an hour has passed and the cake is tempered. We can also freeze it wrapped in two layers of plastic wrap. In that case to thaw we pass it to the fridge a few hours, and then draw it half an hour before using so it is tempered before removing the plastic wrap.
14 fill the pancha cake with thin strawberry or raspberry jam and then cream, leaving a border of a centimeter around the perimeter of the cake. Tighten the cake to form the roller. You have to give two full turns. If leftover cake cut it and make another curler aside. If we give too many turns the roller will be too fat and not be provided by what will not be pretty.
15 wrap the cake in baking paper closing corners with paper zeal and freeze.
16 we now turn to chocolate glaze. So we started by hydrate the gelatin leaves by placing them in a bowl with water.
17. in a large saucepan, heat the cream, water and sugar and boil.
18 Add the cocoa powder and a little lower the heat by boiling for 15 minutes until mixture has reduced one-third.
19. to see if the mixture it is ready or if you are missing more boil, put a tablespoon of chocolate on a plate and slide a finger through the Center. If the footprint of the finger disappears then it lacks more cooking time, but if doing so, finger leaves a path, then the mixture is. Once reached the texture that we seek, separate from the fire.
20 drain well water gelatin and add to the hot chocolate. Move well until it has been diluted and mixed well.
21 remove the cakes from the freezer and place it on a wire rack.
22 heat well chocolate cream and dip the biscuits one by one and put them on a silicone sheet.
23 allow the chocolate to harden a bit and decorate with chocolate white, black balls and milk.
24 store in the refrigerator up to three days, although at home! no consigo arriving in the fridge once completed
- If you don't like the flavor of pure chocolate, with chocolate not glasees your tigreton. They are also delicious
- Use your favorite jam: the Peach will you very well as Sacher cake.
- It produces and freezes your tigretones and you can take them when you want more. You can freeze them already stuffed and even already glazed.
- I recommend you this sweet dessert a Moorish tea: choose your infusion or favorite tea, add a few drops of sweetener, mint leaves and a handful of ice flakes. Deliciously refreshing for the time in which we are.
Hi, I saw this recipe and it looks huge; I'm going to go with it.
How does mould you used? Is Lekue?
Congratulations on the web; This very well maquetada and the photos are great.
Regards, David.
No mold is not lékué. It is Le Creuset, although if you have the Lékué shutters biscuits it is most. They sent it to me and I tried it and it is perfect.
This cake is delicious and outperforms the original tigreton! I'm glad you like it and I encourage you dare because it is easy and get rich. Thank you very much for being here with me. A greeting,
Hello, the tigreton was my favorite cropanes of small. Thanks for the recipe, looks good. I see you're very measured quantities, the eggs instead of putting them in grams, it would be easier to say, 2 eggs, 2 egg whites or 3 yolks?, I know that it is not as accurate, but it is a bit cumbersome to be with the scale.
Hello Jose,
Thank you very much for your comment and I am very pleased that you like the tigreton. Regarding your question, they are in grams because this recipe should be exact. There are people who use small eggs, medium-sized and large or extra large and the weight can vary up to twice. Normally in the recipes I speak of number of eggs, but in this as in any other, it is necessary to weigh them so that the cake has the necessary moisture to be able to roll it and that does not break. The approximate measure of a medium egg is 52 g but I recommend that you weigh it because it is not an accurate measure. A greeting and thank you very much for being there
Loleta Hello! Happy 2015 for all. Not is because came me to this recipe memory and returning it to review, I realized that looks in the photos there is jam, but in the list of ingredients and the step by step explanation, is not. I all ways put strawberries or raspberries.
Well, if that is by that had come me to head, soon will be the "meets" from my husband and is a fan of the tigreton (and I also) reminiscences of childhood. Better than a tigreton to celebrate the sum of years. Thanks Loleta!
PS: Sorry if I am very squabbling
Hello Monica, sorry that you have not answered before but I'm like the crazy and although you wrote, not validation response: (.) You have absolutely right is not in the ingredients or the step by step and although the photos if it is it should be included, so already I managed it and everything should be now corrected. Thank you for let me know and sorry for the error! Thank you very much for being here with me :)
Hello Loleta, only to see it already looks is spectacular, sure that this child has not le buts.
I love it
Hi Mercedes, because what you know! This is one of their favorites, and the best thing is that it calls Tigreton! A hug and thanks for being here with me :)
What a gorgeous cake roll! I love the chocolate curls you added on top :)
Hi June, Many thanks for your comment. I am glad you liked this roll cake and you should try to make it sometime because I am surge you will absolutely love it. Thanks for being around:)
Hi, I really want to make this start, but I have a doubt. To prepare the cream, how incorporate gelatin to cream? I always add it to some hot liquid and the cream must be very cold to mount. And in sheets or powder? Thanks in advance. Congratulations for your program in Canal Cocina.
Hello Susana! It is therefore a mistake. The gelatin is added to chocolate and not the cream (as you will see in the photo of the ingredients), so please let me know! Anyway and again, when you add the melted gelatin should be very careful with temperature changes so that no set of blow. What I usually do is melt it without liquid in the micro (drained of water, 10 seconds or so is sufficient), and then I slowly add the mixture: a teaspoon of cream, cream or whatever to what I'm going to add the gelatine, move well so it is tempered gradually, and add another teaspoon... well until the temperature of the gelatin is almost the same as that of the cream I want incorporate. In this way you will avoid that it is set and those so unpleasant ball to form. I hope I helped. Thank you for discovering the error, and above all, thank you for being here with me :)
Do Hello lolet have a doubt in the preparation of the cream you put powdered sugar, that you mean?
Hoa Mireia, namely powdered sugar. A hug
Hello! A question the cream is mounted or can be cooking? Thank you!
Hi Laura, the cream when it is pastry always must be mounted. You need fat to make it fit and if it is lightly or cooking has less fat and then not mounted. You must have at least 30% of fat. Let me know
