This month, we’re bringing you exclusive content from our archive of members only website videos, featuring step-by-step instructions and ingredients for classic Cook’s Illustrated recipes!
We swap the sponge for a simple chiffon cake, which is tender and moist but sufficiently sturdy. Instead of basing our filling on a high-moisture crème anglaise, we use a more foolproof homemade raspberry curd lightened with whipped cream with just enough gelatin to give it structure, and we pack in a full pound of berries for bright fruit flavor.

How long would it be able to stay out of the refrigerator (after being refrigerated first) before becoming soft?

She is pronouncing the H is every WH word…why?
Yo quiero hacer y comerme esos deliciosos postres hoy hicieron en 15 chanel unos cups cakes. Pero no alcance la receta a baño maria …me la darian?
You lie, These recipes are not free. You leave out measurements so payment is required to obtain the correct recipe. There are plenty of other recipes on line that publish recipes. And yours are not always that good.
Ive got to make this!
No measurements, perfect 😒
I always hate discarding the seeds. I've started making a SUPER seedy jelly cube chew, or a brittle when I'm working with berries. It's not everybody's thing, but it gives more options and texture 😂
Studied this recipe before attempting it. Followed the directions and notes in the Cook Book and the result's were amazing. This was not as difficult as it first seem's. With the note's they are spot on accurate! I was also surprised by how light it was.
This new format is incredibly boring.
Lots of steps. Kind of reminds me of Thanksgiving dinner. Lots of prep and work then 10 minutes later gone. LOL
It does look delicious though.
This is the first time I've seen a Charlotte made with cake rather than ladyfingers. It looks really good.
Maybe it’s my imagination, but the ATK recipes are becoming too complicated for occasional cooks like me. I’ll leave these sort of videos to people who are at a higher level.
That is a lot of steps, but it looks really good! Like the new format! Is this in the 2019 ATK cookbook?
If you use gelatin sheets, how many sheets should you use?
We're not at all good with this new format of video recipes. Sorry, won't watch them. Seeing the earlier vids of hosts made me buy 7 cookbooks of yours. Stop being so film budget cheap and go back to what you are great at.
Who are we serving? Louis XVI and Marie?
i remember being thoroughly impressed by this masterpiece of a recipe when i first saw it
Time consuming but worth it. Made it at least 5 times. Now use mousse portion with 3 layers chocolate chiffon cake.
Reminds me of a Japanese style cake. Interesting!
Such an impersonal way to deliver a recipe…….. looks delicious, though.
But it looks like a frozen desert bought at Costco.
Lots of wHisking
I am making the assumption (maybe a bad thing), that this recipe is for intermediate to advanced cooks. That being said, I would have liked to know how much of each ingredient to use, instead of having to pay America's Test Kitchen money for the recipe!
Why the change ? Not cool !
Awesome gonna have ago
Don't listen to the naysayers! Thank you for cutting this short. I like the videos that don't having talking hosts showing you how to cook something. So much quicker to watch it thru and see if I want to do it. And I do! And yes, you did simplify a complicated dessert so those people who say the dessert is too much trouble just don't realize.
PLEASE do a review comparing the food processor and blender attachments for the kitchen aid and kenwood kitchen mixers and compare them to standalone food processors and blenders so that we can see if they are any good or not.
A lot of steps for what you get.
My daughter's name is Charlotte and I'm pretty sure this will be her next birthday cake. Thank you!
it's like telling someone how to drive. complicated and far too many steps with a 2 to 3 minutes instruction voice over. yu are losing it…
