Did you ignore it and poured the middle layer mousse anyway or do you have some tricks?<br /><br />Also, from the pics it seems there is nothing underneath your cake. How did you moved your cake to the cake stand? I didnt have the courage to move mine. :) But it doesn't look as nice when served off the black tin.<br /><br />Thanks.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04246619550155809254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4559496255453564057.post-37329827512239700482013-02-21T08:49:10.796-06:002013-02-21T08:49:10.796-06:00I am making this with daughter today.

The middle layer is very mousse-like in texture and the top layer is also more mousse-like. It holds together when slicing but I don't know if it could stand being flipped over twice. It is not as solid as a cheesecake would be. Also, the flour-less cake layer on the bottom shrinks quite a bit as it cools so when you put the second layer over it, the second layer tends to seep into the sides of the pan over the bottom layer. <br /><br />The other major problem I see is that the three layers combined would likely be higher than a regular cake pan - unless you have a pan at least 3" high. <br /><br />Rather than flipping, I would suggest simply cutting the slices you plan on serving out of whatever pan you will be using (if you have a thin enough spatula) and leave the mousse cake in the pan. The first piece may not come out cleaning but the following slices would come out just fine. The presentation won't be as striking but at least your cake won't suffer as much trauma. <br /><br />Hope that helps!SavoringTime in the Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14416968440250548090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4559496255453564057.post-31995419226238448842013-02-15T00:10:16.356-06:002013-02-15T00:10:16.356-06:00I've been eyeing this recipe for a long time, ...I've been eyeing this recipe for a long time, but had a question that I thought I could run by you. <br /><br />I don't own a spring form pan, but I'm wondering if it's possible to make this without one.<br /><br />I've made cheesecake without a spring-form using an Alton Brown trick. Simply line up the bottom and sides with buttered parchment paper and bake your cheesecake. Then when it's done and completely cooled, you can flip it out onto another pan, then flip back on its bottom.<br /><br />This works because the cheesecake is nice and hard-set when coming right out of the fridge, and has structure from the cream cheese.<br /><br />I'm wondering about the texture of the cake, its layers, and specifically the top layer when coming right out of the fridge. Is it hard when cold because of the gelatin? I know the recipe says to let is sit out at room temp when coming out of the fridge to properly be able to slice. Do you think its hard enough to support itself upside down?<br /><br />Thanks!SaqibSaabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02863557169805636334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4559496255453564057.post-25686395011121792002013-01-25T22:39:52.434-06:002013-01-25T22:39:52.434-06:00I'm in chocolate heaven and I'm not even e...I'm in chocolate heaven and I'm not even eating this now!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09328089349569488543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4559496255453564057.post-29588988823679439362013-01-23T13:39:58.892-06:002013-01-23T13:39:58.892-06:00Realmente exquisito me encanta tiene un aspecto pe...Realmente exquisito me encanta tiene un aspecto perfecto y delicioso,hugs,hugs.Rosita Vargashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00517797117525636948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4559496255453564057.post-65620284682202769082013-01-18T09:24:49.813-06:002013-01-18T09:24:49.813-06:00I vowed not to have any alcohol in 2013, and so fa...I vowed not to have any alcohol in 2013, and so far I have not strayed once!
