做橙子慕斯是Angela逼的。当我给她草莓蛋糕选项时，她非常尖锐地指出现在是柑橘季。二月下旬，湾区大众超市里买的橙子都非常甜和新鲜。邻居有时苦于柠檬太多了用不了，一袋一袋送给我。这边朋友院子里的各种柑橘也都是硕果累累，滋味十分丰富。所以真的应该做橙子蛋糕。
之前做过橙子果酱，连着筋膜一起煮了以后有股橙子特有的苦味。又不想多加糖，就做了糖渍橙皮加进去，孩子也可以吃。心想还不如直接吃橙子来得方便，就没有再做。
这次要做橙子慕斯蛋糕，看到许许多多可能性。橙子慕斯有加马斯卡彭奶酪的，有搭配白巧克力或者黑巧克力，有以bavarois为基底的Charlotte蛋糕，有直接用果汁的慕斯，还有sabayon意式甜酒酱的做法。开始选定了Charlotte蛋糕，用手指饼干做底，试做了bavarois，果汁和sabayon三种慕斯。做出来之后发现sabayon慕斯口感最细腻，同时最大程度地保持了橙子本身的味道。但是Angela想要非常轻盈蓬松的口感，于是把手指饼干换成戚风蛋糕。其实我个人也偏爱戚风蛋糕，可能是从小就习惯的轻软的质地。法式蛋糕的基底通常是比较瓷实厚重的蛋糕。 第二次试做戚风蛋糕加sabayon慕斯实验成功。最后做一个糖渍橙皮当装饰。齐活。
看着冰箱里剩的一大堆柠檬，想想必须要做少糖的柠檬塔了。

Orange mousse cake
Ingredients: Organic eggs, organic heavy whipping cream, organic oranges, flour, sugar, gelatin sheets, Cointreau, candied orange peel.
I tried to reduce the sugar amount in the cake since the oranges is very sweet in the season. I used 60 grams of sugar for the chiffon cake and 48 grams for the mousse. Angela requested no more than more up of sugar in the cake. One cup of sugar equals 200 grams. That’s a lot of sugar! She kept emphasizing that she liked a fluffy and light cake. After trying finger lady biscuit and three kinds of ways to make a mousse, I choose a chiffon cake and a sabayon mousse.
