Chocolate cake with whipped cream and Mars bars is a quick and delicious dessert, perfect for sweet lovers who want to impress without spending hours in the kitchen. This simple recipe turns into a true delight, thanks to the combination of dark chocolate, fine whipped cream, and caramelized chocolate. Here’s how to prepare it step by step to achieve a perfect result. Preparation time: 30 minutes Baking time: 25 minutes Total time: 55 minutes Number of servings: 12 ### Ingredients: For the base (3 layers): - 6 large eggs - 6 tablespoons sugar - 6 tablespoons flour - 3 tablespoons oil (or melted butter) - 3-4 tablespoons cocoa powder - 10 g baking powder - A pinch of salt For the ganache cream: - 200 g dark chocolate (recommended Milka for a sweeter taste) - 250 ml liquid cream (preferably Meggle for optimal texture) For the whipped cream with Mars bars: - 200 ml liquid cream - 5 g gelatin - 3 Mars bars - 50 g grated chocolate For the glaze: - 100 g chocolate - 2 tablespoons milk - 1 tablespoon butter For the syrup: - 150 ml water - 100 g sugar - Rum (optional) ### Instructions: 1. Preparing the bases: Start by preheating the oven to 180°C. In a large bowl, mix the eggs with a pinch of salt and sugar until the mixture doubles in volume and becomes frothy. Add the melted butter and homogenize. Incorporate the flour, cocoa, and baking powder, mixing gently with a spatula to avoid deflating the mixture. Divide the mixture into three baking trays lined with parchment paper and bake each layer for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the layers cool. 2. Preparing the ganache cream: In a bowl, melt the dark chocolate together with the liquid cream in a bain-marie, stirring constantly until it becomes a smooth cream. Let it cool slightly before using. 3. Preparing the whipped cream with Mars bars: Soak the gelatin in cold water for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, melt the Mars bars in the microwave or in a bain-marie, stirring to prevent burning. In another bowl, whip the liquid cream until it becomes firm. Incorporate the pre-soaked gelatin and the melted Mars bars into the whipped cream, mixing gently. Add the grated chocolate for extra texture. 4. Assembling the cake: Place the first layer of cake on a platter and soak it with the syrup made from water and sugar (boil the water with the sugar until dissolved, adding rum at the end). Spread a part of the ganache cream, followed by the second layer, which you soak again. Add the whipped cream with Mars bars, then the third layer of cake. Cover everything with the remaining ganache cream. 5. Preparing the glaze: Melt the chocolate with the milk and butter in a bain-marie or microwave, stirring until smooth. Pour the glaze over the cake and let it cool. ### Useful tips: - You can replace the Mars bars with other types of chocolate or caramel, depending on your preferences. - Make sure the layers are completely cooled before assembling to avoid melting the cream. - For an even more intense flavor, add a splash of vanilla or coffee essence to the ganache cream. ### Serving suggestion: Cut the cake into generous portions and serve it with a dollop of whipped cream on top or with a scoop of ice cream for a perfect experience. This cake not only looks impressive but will surely be a hit at any occasion. Enjoy every bite of this decadent dessert!
