Combine the yolk mixture with the egg white meringue, gently folding with a spatula. - Sift the flour, baking powder, cocoa, and chocolate cream, then gradually add them to the egg mixture. Carefully incorporate the chopped nuts and raisins. - Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely. 3. Prepare the cream: - In a saucepan, bring 500 ml of milk to a boil. When it reaches boiling point, add the packet of chocolate pudding mixed with a cup of cold milk. Continue to stir until thickened. - Add the broken chocolate pieces and butter, stirring until completely melted. Allow to cool. 4. Prepare the whipped cream: - Whip the liquid cream with the whipping powder until firm. You can add powdered sugar to taste if desired. 5. Assemble the cake: - Once the base has cooled, cut it in half. Soak each layer with coffee, rum essence, and cognac. - Spread a layer of chocolate cream on the first layer, then cover with the second layer.
