Quince and orange twist on classic mangomisu - a delicious update!
Ingredients:
4quinces, peeled, cored, quartered
330g caster sugar
2oranges, juiced plus pared zest of 1 orange
1cinnamon quill
2vanilla beans, split, seeds scraped
500g mascarpone
600ml thickened cream
2egg yolks
50g icing sugar
125ml sherry
200g sponge finger biscuits (savoiardi)
Instructions:
In a large pan, submerge quinces in cold water. Mix in caster sugar, zest, cinnamon, and 1 vanilla pod with seeds. Heat over medium until simmering. Cover with baking paper, lower heat, and simmer for 3 1/2 hours until quinces are vibrant and tender. Let cool in the liquid before serving.
Prepare the cake pan by greasing and lining it with plastic wrap. In a bowl, use an electric mixer to beat mascarpone, cream, egg yolks, icing sugar, and vanilla seeds until thickened. In a separate bowl, mix orange juice and sherry. Dip sponge fingers one by one into the liquid and layer them in the pan to cover the base. Spread one-third of the mascarpone mixture over the sponge fingers. Arrange sliced quince quarters over the mascarpone and layer another one-third of the mascarpone mixture on top. Repeat the sponge fingers layering. Loosely cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours to set.
To serve, spread the remaining mascarpone over the cake, top with sliced quinces, and drizzle with the poaching liquid.
