Each layer is allowed to brown before a new layer of batter is poured. When the cake is removed and sliced, each layer is divided from the next by a golden line, resembling the growth rings on a crosscut tree.<\/p>\n<p>Although the German schichttorte cake recipe is considered a simpler bake, it proved to be a tough multi-layer challenge for the remaining bakers. It is traditionally cooked in stages under the grill to create 20 layers of different-coloured sponge.<\/p>\n<p>Typical ingredients includes eggs,  caster sugar, plain flour,  Amaretto, cocoa powder, dark chocolate, golden syrup and vanilla. But any mistakes or deviation from the recipe could cost the bakers a place in the final.<\/p>\n<p>Paul Hollywood used these ingredients in his recipe:<\/p>\n<p>For the cake: 10 large free-range eggs, separated, 100g unsalted butter, 150g caster sugar, 1 large lemon, zest only, 1 tsp vanilla bean paste, 150g plain flour, sifted, 65g cornflour, sifted, oil, for greasing and 6 tbsp apricot jam.<\/p>\n<p>For the chocolate glaze: 50g unsalted butter, 1 tbsp golden syrup, 1 tbsp rum, 1 tsp vanilla bean paste, 75g plain chocolate (36% cocoa solids), finely chopped, For the vanilla glaze, 250g icing sugar, 1 tbsp rum, \u00bd tsp vanilla bean paste and 1-2 tbsp milk.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/schichttorte.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/schichttorte.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"schichttorte\" width=\"570\" height=\"301\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19768\" srcset=\"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/schichttorte.png 570w, http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/schichttorte-300x158.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"ca-pub-0466605792016836\";\n\/* food and drink *\/\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"3648486817\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 300;\ngoogle_ad_height = 250;\n\/\/-->\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For the semi finals of the Great British Bake off, Paul and Mary set the semifinalist a technical challenge based upon the German \n<a class=\"moretag\" href=\"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/19755\/german-schichttorte-cake-recipe-on-great-british-bake-off-2014-proved-a-tough-multi-layer-challenge-set-by-paul-and-mary\/\"> [...]<\/a>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":19768,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[91],"tags":[82,166],"class_list":["post-19755","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-food","tag-bakeoff","tag-food"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/schichttorte.png","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19755","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19755"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19755\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19774,"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19755\/revisions\/19774"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19768"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19755"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19755"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thetalentzone.co.uk\/musictv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19755"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
