Get ready to create a cake that will be the star of any festive meal! Preparation time: 45 minutes Baking time: 30 minutes Total time: 1 hour and 15 minutes Number of servings: 12 Ingredients For the sponge cake: - 7 eggs (at room temperature for optimal beating) - 210 g sugar - 180 g flour - 30 g cocoa powder - A pinch of salt For the creams: - 1 large box of Hulala whipped cream (500 ml) - 2 Primola white chocolates - 2 Heidi dark chocolates For the syrup: - 150 ml water - 2 tablespoons sugar - Rum essence (to taste) For the glaze: - 1 packet of Dr. Oetker dark chocolate glaze For decoration: - 1 Primola crunchy delight chocolate (for grating) - Extra whipped cream (for decoration) Step-by-step instructions 1. Preparing the sponge cake The first step is to take care of the delicious sponge cake. Start by separating the eggs. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until frothy. Gradually add the sugar, continuing to beat until the mixture becomes glossy and triples in volume. Laura Adamache, a dessert expert, suggests that this process can take up to 20 minutes, but with an efficient hand blender, like the one from Philips, I managed it in just 7 minutes! 2. Adding dry ingredients Once the egg whites are ready, add the yolks, gently mixing to avoid losing air in the mixture. In a separate bowl, sift the flour and cocoa together. Fold the flour mixture into the egg mixture using a spatula and mixing in circular motions from top to bottom. This will ensure an airy texture for the cake. 3. Baking the cake Pour the mixture into a round springform pan lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 20-30 minutes. It is important not to open the oven in the first 20 minutes to prevent the cake from falling. Check with a toothpick if it’s done – if it comes out clean, the cake is perfect! 4. Cooling the cake After baking, let the cake cool on a rack with the oven door slightly ajar. This will help maintain moisture and prevent condensation. Once completely cooled, cut the cake into three equal discs. 5. Preparing the syrup In a small saucepan, add the water and sugar. Heat on low until the sugar completely dissolves. Add the rum essence and let the syrup cool slightly. This will add extra flavor to each layer of the cake. 6. Preparing the cream To achieve the most delicious creams, melt the dark and white chocolate in a bain-marie. Whip the Hulala cream until firm and carefully fold in the melted chocolate. Divide the cream into two: one part for the dark cream (with dark chocolate) and one part for the white cream (with white chocolate). 7. Assembling the cake Soak each disc of cake with the prepared syrup. Spread a layer of dark cream between the first and second discs, then a layer of white cream between the second and third discs. Once all layers are filled, cover the cake with the dark chocolate glaze, following the instructions on the package. 8. Decorating the cake For an attractive look, grate the crunchy delight chocolate and sprinkle it around the edge of the cake. You can also add a bit of whipped cream mixed with the chocolate glaze for an even more refined decoration. 9. Serving The 2011 cake is served with a glass of milk or a cup of aromatic coffee, which will perfectly complement the sweetness of the dessert. It is ideal for birthdays, festive meals, or simply to indulge in on a weekend. Useful tips - Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for the best results. - The cake can be made a day in advance, and the assembled cake can be prepared a few hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld. - If you want a less sweet version, you can replace the chocolate with a lower sugar option or experiment with 70% cocoa chocolate. Frequently asked questions 1. Can I use another type of chocolate? Yes, you can use any type of chocolate you prefer, but make sure it matches the desired taste. 2. How can I make the cake less caloric? You can replace the cream with a light cream option or use a natural sweetener for the sugar syrup. 3. Can the cake be frozen? Yes, the cake can be frozen, but it is recommended to portion it before freezing for individual servings. This 2011 cake is not just a simple dessert, but a true cooking experience, perfect for bringing smiles to the faces of your loved ones. I invite you to give it a chance and enjoy every bite!
