Ingredients *For the base:* - 4 egg yolks - 250 g sugar - 1 cup water (approximately 250 ml) - 100 g butter (melted) - 1 packet baking powder - 1 tablespoon heaped cocoa powder - Flour as needed (approximately 300-350 g) *For the meringue:* - 4 egg whites - 200 g sugar *For the glaze:* - 4 tablespoons milk - 250 g sugar - 150 g butter - 4 tablespoons heaped cocoa powder Step-by-Step Preparation 1. Preparing the base Start by preheating the oven to 180°C (medium heat) and greasing a baking tray of approximately 30 x 40 cm with butter, then dusting it with flour or using parchment paper to prevent sticking. In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar until the mixture becomes frothy and light in color. Add the cup of warm water and melted butter. Mix well. Add the baking powder and cocoa, then gradually incorporate the flour. You will obtain a thinner but consistent batter. Pour the mixture into the prepared tray and level it evenly. Bake the base for 20-25 minutes or until it passes the toothpick test (insert a toothpick in the center, and if it comes out clean, it’s ready). After baking, let the base cool slightly in the tray. 2. Preparing the meringue Meanwhile, prepare the meringue. In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with a mixer on high speed until frothy. Gradually add the sugar, continuing to beat until you achieve a firm and glossy meringue. Once the base has cooled slightly, pour the meringue evenly over it. Place the tray back in the oven and bake on low heat (approximately 150°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the meringue turns lightly golden. 3. Preparing the glaze In a small saucepan, add the milk, sugar, butter, and cocoa. Bring the mixture to a boil over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent sticking. Let it boil for 5-7 minutes until the glaze thickens and has a creamy consistency. After the meringue is ready, pour the warm glaze over it, ensuring it is evenly covered. Allow the cake to cool completely in the tray, then cut it into squares. Serving and Decorating This cake can be decorated with chocolate roses, whipped cream, or any other desired decorative element. A wonderful idea is to serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a cup of aromatic coffee. It is a dessert that perfectly fits an evening of stories and laughter with loved ones. Tips and Variations - If you want a more intense flavor, you can add a few drops of vanilla essence to the batter mixture. - Instead of cocoa, try using carob powder for a healthier version. - Add ground nuts or hazelnuts to the batter for extra texture and flavor. - If you are looking for a gluten-free dessert, use almond flour instead of wheat flour. Nutritional Information This cake contains calorie-rich ingredients, and one serving has approximately 300 calories. It is important to consume it in moderation, but it can be an excellent choice for special occasions. Frequently Asked Questions 1. Can I replace sugar with a sweetener? Yes, you can use natural sweeteners, but check the proportions as they may have different sweetening powers. 2. How can I store the cake? Keep it in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days or in the refrigerator for 5-7 days. 3. Is it possible to freeze the cake? Yes, you can freeze the cake, but it’s better to do so without the glaze. Wrap it well in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil.
