Macaron Cake Recipe

Align three baking sheets with parchment paper and make 6-inch circles on the back. Arrange a large pastry bag tipped with a simple round tip.
Add the almond flour, all-purpose flour and sugar in a big mixing bowl, mix them well.
In another mixing bowl, take out the egg whites and add some sugar in it. Whisk them properly until stiff peak is formed. Some a few drops of food colouring and mix it well.
Now carefully transfer this batter in a pastry bag that you prepared earlier and fill each circle with appropriate batter keeping the thickness of the Pastry bag in mind.
Make sure the pastry bag is not filled with any air bubbles. Let the macarons rest for about 1 hour, making it a little stiff from outside.
Meanwhile, prepare your oven and allow it to preheat it to 320F.
Now we will make the raspberry lemon curd by mixing lemon juice, sugar, egg yolks and salt in a saucepan. Mix the cornstarch in it with some water to form a slurry.
On medium heat, allow the curd to cook for about 7 minutes and keep whisking it until it becomes thick and bubbles start to form.
After the curd has thickened, turn the heat off and add some butter in it and whisk it entirely until butter is invisible. Add some crushed raspberries in it and let it cool in a mixing bowl or you can refrigerate it as well.
Now bake the rested Macarons as per space for 18-20 minutes. Allow them to cool once done.
To make the cream, add heavy cream, sugar and vanilla in a large mixing bowl and whisk them together until a soft peak is formed. Take a separate bowl and mix tighter some chocolate and mascarpone until they form a creamy texture. Add cheese to this mixture and whisk it as well.
Assemble the cake by adding a right amount of cream onto each layer, top with raspberries and with some lemon curd at the center. Garnish with the whipped cream and raspberries along with macaron disks.
Refrigerate the cake until it is completely hard and chilled.

Finally, your Macaron cake is ready with the goodness of rich ingredients in it. Enjoy it anytime, any day with anyone you want and make your day better.
