Day-Old Cake with Fresh Stewed Fruits and Zabaglione
- 1 cup raspberries
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup strawberries
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- 6 egg yolks
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2/3 cup Marsala wine
- 2 cups heavy cream, whipped
- Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 to 4 sliced day-old yellow cake or sponge-type cake, cut into 1-inch cubes
- Ground cinnamon
- Fruit: In separate saucepans, lightly stew the berries with 2 tablespoons of sugar each, just until they begin to give off their juices.
- Cool and reserve.
- Zabaglione cream: Bring water to a simmer in the bottom of a double boiler.
- Off the heat, in a heatproof bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they are smooth and lemon colored.
- Set the bowl over the simmering water and, whisking constantly, slowly add the sugar.
- As the eggs begin to thicken, gradually add the Marsala and continue to whisk for about 20 minutes, until the zabaglione coats the back of a spoon.
- If the mixture begins to curdle, remove the bowl from the heat and whisk in a little cold heavy cream.
- Beat vigorously.
- Cool the mixture over ice water.
- Cover with a sheet of plastic placed directly on the surface of the cream.
- Refrigerate.
- To assemble: Fold the whipped cream into the zabaglione mixture; do not overblend.
- Place the cubed cake onto a deep platter and smother with the berries.
- Allow to rest for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
- Liberally sprinkle with cinnamon and cocoa and serve.
