The history of this cake shows us that, over time, desserts with delicate creams have been appreciated in every culture, becoming symbols of hospitality and well-being. Let’s embark on the preparation of this delicious cake! Ingredients For the base: - 9 eggs (fresh, preferably from a local farm) - 9 tablespoons of sugar (you can use brown sugar for a richer taste) - 1 ½ packets of Crema Ole chocolate flavor (this will add an intense chocolate note) For the cream: - 400 ml liquid cream (make sure it is rich for a creamier texture) - 300 ml milk (preferably whole for a rich taste) - 2 packets of Crema Ole vanilla flavor (this will perfectly complement the chocolate) For the glaze: - 100 ml cream - 200 g milk chocolate (choose a quality chocolate for a perfect taste) - 150 g rich butter (for a smooth glaze) - 1 tablespoon of rum (for an extra flavor) Preparation 1. Preparing the base: Start by carefully separating the eggs – the egg whites must be completely free of yolks. Beat the egg whites with a mixer on high speed, gradually adding the sugar. Continue mixing until you achieve a glossy and stiff foam, an indication that you have made the perfect base for the cake. 2. Incorporate the yolks, one at a time, gently mixing with a spatula to avoid losing air in the mixture. Then add the Crema Ole chocolate powder and mix again. 3. Line a large tray (ideally, use the oven tray) with baking paper. Pour the base mixture and level it with a spatula. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 25 minutes. Check if it is baked by inserting a toothpick in the middle; if it comes out clean, the base is ready. Don’t worry if the base doesn’t rise much; it’s normal. 4. After baking, let the base cool completely before adding the cream. 5. Preparing the cream: In a large bowl, mix the liquid cream with the cold milk and the two packets of Crema Ole vanilla flavor. Use a mixer to achieve a fluffy cream. This step is essential for creating a generous layer of delicate cream. 6. Once the base has cooled, pour the cream over it and refrigerate the cake to cool and set. 7. Preparing the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine broken chocolate pieces, diced butter, and 100 ml of cream. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly until all the chocolate has melted and the mixture becomes homogeneous. Add a tablespoon of rum to enhance the flavor. Let the glaze cool slightly, but make sure it doesn’t harden too much. 8. When the cake has been in the refrigerator long enough and the cream has set, pour the chocolate glaze on top, starting from the center and gently spreading towards the edges. You can use a spatula to smooth the glaze. 9. Return the cake to the refrigerator to set the glaze, then cut into servings and enjoy! Practical Tips - Make sure the ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This will help achieve a better consistency. - If you want to add an interesting twist, you can replace the rum with another type of alcoholic beverage, such as cognac or amaretto. - You can also add fresh fruits, such as raspberries or strawberries, on top of the glaze for a contrast of textures and flavors. Nutritional Benefits Krem a la Krem is a rich cake, but in moderate portions, it can be part of a balanced diet.

Keep the cake in the refrigerator in an airtight container to maintain its freshness. - What drinks pair best with Krem a la Krem? Black coffee, cappuccino, or sweet sparkling wine will perfectly complement the sweetness of the cake.
