- Pour almond mixture in the largest bowl you have and set aside.
- Sift all purpose flour onto a piece of parchment, set aside.
- Using a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, add whole eggs and egg yolks to the mixing bowl and whip on high until they form a ribbons.
- Meanwhile in another mixing bowl fitted with a whisk attachment whip egg whites to stiff peaks then slowly add in sugar, making a meringue.
- Add about a pint of flour to the almond mixture and fold together.
- Add half of the whole egg mixture and fold together. Repeat with the rest of the egg mixture.
- Add the rest of the flour and half of the egg white meringue to the bowl, fold together.
- Add the rest of the egg whites and fold together until combined.
- Divide batter evenly between 3 small bowls.
- In one bowl add 15 grams of liquid green food dye and fold together, then add to 1 prepared sheet tray and spread evenly across.
- In one of the other bowls add 15 grams of liquid red food dye and fold
together, then add to 1 prepared sheet tray and spread evenly across. - Take the last bowl and add it to 1 prepared sheet tray and spread evenly across.
- Bake at 325 for 11 minutes in a convection oven.
For Assembly:
- Start by lining a cutting board with a piece of parchment paper.
- Turn over the green layer onto the cutting board, allowing the cake to lay upside down on the cutting board.
- Add raspberry jam to cake and spread evenly across, only add more if needed.
- Turn over the white layer onto the layer of raspberry jam, allowing the cake to lay upside down.
- Add more of the raspberry jam to the cake and spread evenly across, only add more if needed.
- Turn over the red layer onto the layer of raspberry jam, allowing the cake to lay upside down.
- Top with another piece of parchment and another cutting board to weight it.
- Put it in the fridge overnight.
- On the next day, over a double boiler melt a small bowl of dark chocolate and heat to 115 degrees, checking with a temperature gun.
- Temper chocolate once it comes to 115 using the seeding method.
- Once the chocolate is less than 100 degrees stop adding chocolate, and remove the stacked cakes from the fridge.
- Starting with the red layer, add the tempered chocolate, when ready and spread evenly across the entire cake.
- Once the tempered chocolate has set, flip the entire thing upside down using cutting boards on each side of the cake until the green side is facing up.
- Repeat tempering the chocolate and spreading across evenly on the green side when chocolate is ready.
- Once the chocolate has set, grab a container of hot water and a chef’s knife.
- Trim the sides of the rainbow cookies.
- Cut 1 in x 2 in rectangles to create the finished cookies.
