This cake can be an ideal dessert for a gathering with friends or to treat the family. The total preparation time is about 2 hours, including baking and cooling time, and the recipe is sufficient for 8-10 servings. Let's get started! Necessary ingredients: For the base: - 2 large eggs - 50 g butter (preferably at room temperature, to integrate better into the dough) - 50 ml milk (you can also use plant-based milk for a lactose-free option) - 100 g sugar (brown sugar will add a caramel note) - 100 g flour (type 000 or a whole grain variant for extra fiber) - 30 g cocoa (good quality cocoa will enhance the cake's flavor) - 10 g baking powder For the cream: - 200 g hazelnut cream (or tahini for a vegan option) - 100 g butter (softened at room temperature for a smooth texture) - 100 g powdered sugar (you can adjust the amount according to your sweetness preference) - 50 ml liquid cream (for a fluffier cream, use cream from sour cream) - 1 tablespoon instant coffee (or instant coffee for a stronger taste) - 1 cup muesli (choose a sugar-free muesli for a healthy dessert) For the glaze: - 120 g dark chocolate (70% cocoa for a balanced taste) - 50 g butter - 50 ml liquid cream Preparation: 1. Preheat the oven to 180°C to maintain a constant temperature while baking. Prepare a 28x18 cm baking tray by lining it with parchment paper, making it easier to remove the cake after it cools. 2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar using a mixer until the mixture becomes frothy and light in color. This step is essential for obtaining a fluffy base. 3. Add the melted butter and milk, continuing to mix to homogenize the ingredients. 4. In another bowl, mix the flour, cocoa, and baking powder. Sift these dry ingredients over the liquid mixture, stirring with a spatula until no traces of flour remain. Avoid excessive mixing to maintain the airy texture of the base. 5. Pour the mixture into the prepared tray and bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the base to cool completely in the tray. 6. Meanwhile, prepare the cream. Mix the softened butter with the hazelnut cream and powdered sugar until it becomes a creamy and smooth mixture. Add the instant coffee and mix well. 7. Incorporate the liquid cream, mixing continuously to obtain a fluffy cream. Finally, add the muesli, gently folding it in with a spatula. 8. Once the base has completely cooled, spread the cream evenly over it, ensuring it reaches all corners. Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour to allow the cream to set. 9. For the glaze, melt the broken chocolate in small pieces together with the cream and butter using the bain-marie method until you achieve a smooth mixture. Let it cool slightly, then pour the glaze evenly over the hazelnut cream. 10. Cover the cake again and refrigerate overnight to set well. 11. The next day, cut the cake into portions and enjoy it with a cup of tea or coffee. Serving suggestions: for an extra freshness, you can add slices of banana or fresh raspberries on top of the cake before serving. You can also replace the muesli with granola for a crunchier and more flavorful texture. This chocolate and muesli cake is a dessert that will surely impress, combining the sweetness of chocolate with the crunchy texture of muesli. Experiment with the ingredients and adapt the recipe to your taste!
