Ingredients For the base: - 7 eggs - 7 tablespoons granulated sugar - a pinch of salt - 7 tablespoons mineral water - ½ packet baking powder - 2 tablespoons shelled hemp seeds - 2 tablespoons cocoa powder - 7 tablespoons freshly sifted white flour For the syrup: - 100 ml water - 1 vial of rum essence - 2 tablespoons sugar For the cookie cream: - 100 g bran cookies - 150 g popular cookies - 1 vial of rum essence - 3 tablespoons powdered sugar - 2 tablespoons cocoa powder - 2 tablespoons shelled hemp seeds - 200 ml liquid cream For the chocolate mousse: - 300 ml liquid cream - 1 packet gelatin + 50 ml cold water - 200 g dark chocolate For the glaze: - 100 g dark chocolate - 2-3 tablespoons milk For decoration: - 200 ml liquid cream - chocolate and coffee decorations Preparing the cake 1. Preparing the base: Start by separating the egg whites from the yolks. It is essential that the eggs are at room temperature for the best results. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they become foamy. This is a crucial step to ensure an airy texture for the base. 2. Preparing the mixture: In another bowl, mix the yolks with the sugar and baking powder until the mixture doubles in volume and becomes light in color. Add the mineral water, then the cocoa powder and hemp seeds. Finally, fold in the beaten egg whites and the freshly sifted flour, alternating between them. 3. Baking the base: Preheat the oven to 170°C. Grease a baking pan with oil and dust it with flour, then pour in the prepared mixture and level it evenly. Bake for 35 minutes, or until it passes the toothpick test. Let the base cool completely, then cut it in half horizontally. 4. Preparing the syrup: In a saucepan, mix the sugar with the rum essence and water. Let it simmer until the sugar completely dissolves. Once cooled, evenly distribute the syrup over both halves of the base. 5. Making the cookie cream: Crush the cookies in a food processor or in bags with a rolling pin. Add all the ingredients for the cookie cream to a bowl and mix with a spoon until well combined. This will be a delicious layer that will complement the chocolate mousse. 6. Preparing the chocolate mousse: Break the chocolate into pieces and melt it together with 100 ml of cream over low heat. Let the chocolate cool in the fridge for 30 minutes. Hydrate the gelatin in 50 ml of cold water for 10 minutes, then heat it for a few seconds in the microwave until it becomes liquid. Mix the remaining cream with the cooled chocolate cream, and when it’s almost ready, add the liquid gelatin, continuing to mix. 7. Assembling the cake: Pour the chocolate mousse over the cookie cream layer. Carefully place the top half of the base on top, pressing down gently. Cover the cake with plastic wrap and let it chill for 2-3 hours. 8. Decorating the cake: Once chilled, remove the cake from the fridge and cut it into servings. Prepare the glaze by melting the dark chocolate with the milk over low heat. Decorate each slice with glaze and whipped cream, using a piping bag for an elegant look. Add chocolate and coffee decorations for an extra touch of refinement. Useful tips - Calories: One serving has approximately 300 calories, but it’s worth every bite! - Nutritional benefits: Hemp seeds are rich in protein and essential fatty acids, adding a healthy note to this cake. - Variations: You can add chopped nuts or almonds to the cookie cream for extra crunch. Also, replacing dark chocolate with milk chocolate will add extra sweetness to the cake. - Frequently asked questions: - Can I use gluten-free cookies? Yes, you can adapt the recipe using gluten-free cookies. - How can I make the cake even more chocolatey? Add chocolate chips to the chocolate mousse or the cookie cream. I recommend enjoying this cake with a glass of cold milk or a strong espresso, which will balance the sweetness and enhance the flavors. Enjoy!
