A chocolate eclair cake is a very crunchy and delicious combination of crispy pastry, smooth cream filling and frost with the melted dark chocolate.
Generally, the flavor of the filling usually matches the glaze flavor or the frosting. But, today I’m gonna break a little traditions of the eclair cake making, and fill the pastry with the cream vanilla flavored and then dip the pastry in a melted chocolate. This gonna be delicious and yummy, you just need to melt few ounces of dark chocolate and let your pastry cools first then dip them in the melted chocolate. But if you want to match both of the filling and the glaze just feel free to do that.
While a French pastry named Antonin Careme may have invented the Chocolate Eclair, North Americans have become very fond of this pastry. This is an unusual pastry in, that it is first cooked on the stove and then baked in the oven. The cake is made by adding flour to a boiled mixture of butter and water. This really important that the butter melts before the water boils as you do not want too much evaporation as this will change the consistency of the dough.
But today, before making the dough, I will first making the custard filling by mixing corn flour, egg yolks, sugar, salt and vanilla paste in the sauce pan and using the wooden spoon or rubber spatula just mix it all together until they all combined well. Once the milk mixture is combined well, place the sauce pan to burner and cook it about the medium heat and keep stir it the whole time until the custard thickens. And set aside once it’s cooked. Then go on to make the shell, all you need to do is put together water and the butter in the sauce pan and cook it until the butter is melted. Next, you need to add the flour and keep stirring it quickly and cook it for about 2 minutes or until they are thickens.
Then, transfer the flour mixture into the bowl mixer and mix it up until the mixture is cooling down, with the mixer running, add the eggs and mix it up. Once it’s done, place the dough shell into the piping bag and on the baking sheet that already lined with the parchment paper, go ahead and pipe out about 6 inc longs a few inches apart on you baking sheet and bake it until the shell is golden brown. Once it’s just out from the oven let it cool and goes on make the hole on the shell and put the custard inside the shell and you can dip this eclair cake in the melted chocolate.
This will be so much better if you place the cake in the fridge just until the chocolate glaze is frozen. It’s gonna be so much delicious.
