To prepare this delicious cake, we start by melting the main ingredients in a stainless steel pot. So, we add the butter, milk, cocoa, and vanilla sugar. We mix the ingredients well and place them over medium heat. We continue to stir constantly until the mixture reaches boiling point, then we turn off the heat and let the mixture cool completely. This step is essential, as it ensures that all the flavors blend perfectly.
In the meantime, we take care of the eggs. We separate the egg whites from the yolks, being careful not to leave any trace of yolk in the whites, to achieve a perfect foam. Using a mixer, we beat the egg whites until they become a firm and shiny foam that holds its shape well. Next, we return to the cooled mixture and add the yolks, mixing carefully until homogeneous. Then, we incorporate the flour, which has been previously mixed with the baking powder. We mix gently for about 5 minutes until we obtain a fine and uniform composition.
Now we prepare to bake the cake. We line a pan with flour, making sure it is well covered to prevent the cake from sticking. We pour the mixture into the pan and sprinkle the 5 tablespoons of ground walnuts on top, for an extra texture and flavor. We place the pan in the preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius and let it bake for 45 minutes. It is recommended to check the cake with a toothpick to ensure it is perfectly baked.
During baking, we take care of the glaze. In a pot, we put ½ cup of milk, 5 tablespoons of sugar, ½ tablespoon of butter, and 2 tablespoons of cocoa. We mix the ingredients over medium heat until they become homogeneous, then we take the pot off the heat. It is important to prepare this glaze about 5 minutes before turning off the oven, so it is ready when the cake cools.
Once the cake is baked, we take it out of the oven and pour the glaze over it, smoothing it with a spatula. On top of the glaze, we sprinkle coconut for a decorative touch and a wonderful taste. We let the cake cool completely, which will allow the glaze to set properly.
For an extra flavor, we can prepare an optional syrup. In a pot, we combine rum essence with 3 tablespoons of sugar. We cut the cake into cubes and dip them in this syrup, ensuring that each piece is well soaked. Then, we roll the cubes in coconut to give them an attractive appearance.
The cake is now ready to be enjoyed. Bon appétit!
