Description

I use store-bought fondant. I prepare the cake layer in one day, the cream the next morning, and in the evening, after the cake has set, I cover it with fondant. This cake is for adults.

Ingredients

Condensed Milk - 1 can
Baking Powder - 1½ teaspoons
Sugar - 2 tablespoons
Instant coffee - ¾ cup
Salt - ¼ teaspoon
Cocoa Powder - 3 tablespoons
Corn Starch - 1½ tablespoons
Vanilla salt - 2 teaspoons
10% cream - 1½ cups
Liquid dark chocolate - 7.1 oz
Chocolate eggs - 5 pieces
Fondant - 24.7 oz
Wheat Flour - 1 cup
Butter - 3 tablespoons
Jam - ½ cup

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and sugar, add the condensed milk, flour, cocoa, and baking powder. Bake for 20–30 minutes on a large flat baking sheet at 392°F.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, mix cocoa powder, sugar (to taste), and cornstarch. Add coffee, chocolate, and butter. Heat over medium heat, stirring, until boiling; cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Add vanilla sugar. Place in the refrigerator for 2 hours (I put it in the freezer for about 15 minutes).

Step 3

Heat the cream until boiling. Add chocolate and stir until dissolved. Transfer to a bowl, cool, and place in the refrigerator for 2 hours (again, I put it in the freezer for about 15 minutes). Whip the cream with a mixer until soft peaks form.

Step 4

Cut the cake layer into rectangles, then cut them in half again, and do the same with smaller rectangles (total — 4 larger and 4 smaller rectangles). Stack them on top of each other, spreading the creams in the following order: cake — chocolate filling — cake — jam — cream — cake — chocolate filling — cake — cream.

Step 5

Cover the top and sides of the cake with the remaining cream, place in the refrigerator for a long time. Once the cream has set, smooth it out with a spatula, cover with fondant, and decorate.
