Easter Cake

For the Easter cake, first prepare the dough. Whip the egg whites and two tablespoons of cold water until stiff.

Add sugar while continuing to beat. Stir in the egg yolks. Mix cornstarch, flour, baking powder, cinnamon and cocoa and fold in carefully. Pour the batter into a cake springform pan (18 cm) greased on the bottom and dusted with flour. Bake in a preheated oven at 175 °C for about 15 minutes.

Let the cake cool in the pan on a cooling rack for 15 minutes, then turn it to the other side and let the cake cool completely.

For the filling, bring whipping cream and chopped cooking chocolate to a boil over low heat while stirring. Fold in a tablespoon of rum and powdered sugar, if desired, and cool. Beat soft butter flakes into the chocolate mixture with the whisks of a mixer.

Remove the cake from the cake springform pan and cut twice horizontally. Perhaps drizzle the bottoms with remaining rum. Pour 1/4 of the chocolate cream into a round-bottomed ice cream mold or bowl (capacity 1.5 liters).

Place one base (possibly cut a little smaller) on top of the cream. Do the same with the two remaining bases. End should be one bottom.

Set the remaining buttercream aside at room temperature. Place the mold in the refrigerator to chill for at least three hours.

To serve, dip the mold briefly in warm water and invert the cake. Spread with the remaining cream and dust the Easter cake with cocoa.

Preparation Tip:

For a normal sized Easter cake (26 cm ø), double all ingredients, then bake in about 30 to 35 minutes. Cut the cake base three times, spread each base with about three tablespoons of chocolate cream, assemble and spread all around with the remaining cream.
