This week at the Bowl, two living legends, Tony Bennett and Diana Ross, make their appearances.
Only a true L.A. classic could provide the right notes on the plate to complement such musical talent. Joachim Splichal, a great friend of the Hollywood Bowl and arts everywhere, is the
perfect chef for that role.“When I grew up my mother made ‘confiture’ (preserves or jams)
with fresh berries. My mother loved classical music, such as the famous Austrian conductor Herbert
von Karajan. Whenever I visit the Hollywood Bowl, it brings back fond memories of my mother cooking
and listening to beautiful music.”

SUMMER BERRY SHORT CAKE

Serves 4

INGREDIENTS

For Berry Compote:

  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup strawberries
  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 1 cup blackberries
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 cups water

For Chantilly Cream:

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Cake:

  • 1-3/4 cups sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup cake flour
  • 12 egg whites
  • 1/3 cup warm water
  • 1 teaspoon orange extract
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar

PROCEDURE

For Berry Compote:

  1. Combine all ingredients in a sauce pot and cook on low heat for 30 minutes.
  2. Remove from heat and cool down in refrigerator. Set aside.

For Chantilly Cream:

  1. Add heavy cream to mixing bowl. Using a whisk, whip cream until semi-stiff.
  2. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract and continue to whip until firm.

For Cake:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. In a food processor, spin sugar about 2 minutes until it is superfine. Sift half of
    the sugar with the salt and cake flour, setting the remaining sugar aside.
  3. In a large bowl, use a balloon whisk to thoroughly combine egg whites, water, orange
    extract, and cream of tartar. After 2 minutes, switch to a hand mixer. Slowly sift
    the reserved sugar, beating continuously at medium speed.
  4. Once you have achieved medium peaks, sift enough of the flour mixture to dust the top
    of the foam. Using a spatula fold in gently. Continue until all of the flour mixture
    is incorporated.
  5. Carefully spoon mixture into an ungreased tube pan. Bake for 35 minutes before checking
    for doneness with a wooden skewer. (When inserted halfway between the inner and outer
    wall, the skewer should come out dry.)
  6. Cool upside-down on cooling rack for at least an hour before removing from pan.

PLATING

  • Cut cake into serving slices and place in wide bowls or plates. Spoon berry compote
    over cake, pouring some juice into each bowl. Garnish with a dollop of Chantilly Cream.
    Serve immediately.

mango, peach and white flowers.”
