A classic chocolate sponge recipe that can be elevated in several ways to create a delicious showstopper for your Christmas meal.

Chocolate Smash cake

A theatrical Chocolate Dome Smash Cake, a blissfully indulgent spectacle to end any Christmas feast made even easier with our Cooking Chef XL. Begin by making the chocolate dome. Melt 250g chocolate with the chocolate melting preset. Line a small bowl with plastic wrap and brush 2-3 tbsp of melted chocolate around the inside. Refrigerate for 20 mins then repeat twice more.
Make the chocolate sponge layers, bake, and allow to cool, then make the buttercream. The full recipe is available on the Kenwood World App. To assemble and decorate, trim cakes until level, fill with buttercream, then cover with a thin crumb coat of buttercream on all sides. Refrigerate for 20 mins. Coat the cake with the remaining buttercream, then arrange your selection of sweets and edible decorations on top. Carefully remove the chocolate dome from the bowl, peel away the plastic wrap and dust with edible gold spray. Watch how it's done in the video.
Place the dome on top of the cake, covering the sweets and decorations. When ready, smash through the dome to reveal the surprise, and serve. A great alternative to a Christmas pudding.

To decorate and finish, combine 30g desiccated coconut with a drop of green food colouring and 20g chopped pistachios (optional) to create the forest floor effect, and sprinkle over and around the cake. Decorate with the meringue trees and toadstools, dust with edible gold dust or icing sugar, and serve.

Blinis

Blini's zijn lichte pannenkoeken, meestal hapklare hapjes geserveerd, gegarneerd met roomkaas, gerookte zalm en dille.

Om het blini-beslag te maken, zet je jouw Titanium Chef Patissier XL keukenmachine op snelheid 2 en klopt je 200 g melk, 1 tl gedroogde gist en een snufje suiker in de mengkom gedurende 10 minuten op kookstand 2. Voeg dan 200 g bloem, 3 eieren en een snufje zout toe in de kom. Klop nog eens 3 minuten op maximale snelheid en gebruik dan de vooraf ingestelde functie 'deeg rijzen'  gedurende 1 uur, of tot het deeg verdubbeld is.

Verhit de olie in een koekenpan op middelhoog vuur, voeg het blinibeslag met 1 el per keer toe en bak de blini's in porties goudbruin, waarbij je ze halverwege omdraaid.

Garneer met toppings naar keuze en serveer als hapje of voorgerecht.
Om tijd te besparen bij de kerstvoorbereidingen, kunnen de blinis tot een dag van tevoren worden gemaakt. Bewaar ze tot gebruik in een afgesloten, luchtdichte verpakking.

Truffels met donkere chocolade en passievrucht

Om de truffels te maken, gebruikt je het vooraf ingestelde programma 'chocolade smelten' op de Cooking Chef XL. Gebruik de flexiklopper om 250 g pure chocolade, 90 g slagroom, 150 g passievruchtpuree, 1 el honing en 60 g boter te mengen en smelten. Koel gedurende 2 uur totdat het mengsel is gestold. Rol het mengsel in balletjes van 20 g en wentel ze in cacaopoeder of geraspte kokos. Zet nog 30 minuten in de koelkast, of tot het klaar is om te serveren. Doe ze in papieren bakjes en serveer of verpak ze als cadeau. Bovendien is het glutenvrij, zodat alle gasten mee kunnen eten.
