AN yellow food coloring
Combine the cold ABSOLU CRISTAL with the water, lemon juice, and food coloring. Set aside in the refrigerator.
Assembly and finishing
CAKE: Pour 750g of batter into each 40 x 60cm baking sheet. Make the Chocolate Supreme and immediately pour 900g into lipped silicone mats. Arrange the Sacher on top and freeze. Unmold and stack the cake components, cut in two and stack again. Place the assembled product in the refrigerator for one hour and then cut into 12 x 30cm strips. These strips can then be frozen or set aside in the refrigerator. To serve, cut into 12 x 1.5cm slices.
NOUGATINE: Use some gold card to make a frame 3cm high by 13cm long. Once the nougatine is cooked, cut into 22 x 2cm strips and mold while still hot into a ‘U’ shape around the frame.
FOAM: Make a 3 x 10cm plastic stencil. Blend the Lemon Foam and then place in a siphon with two cartridges. Shake and leave to rest for 10 minutes before using. Arrange a slice of Sacher and ITAKUJA Supreme on each plate. Use a brush to paint a sweep of Lemon Sauce alongside. Place the stencil on the slice and fill with Lemon Foam. Smooth with an angled spatula and carefully remove the stencil. To finish, place the Nougatine on top and serve immediately.
