Instructions

Cake

• Preheat the oven to 320 degrees Fahrenheit (160 degrees Celsius.)
• Take 2 round cake tins with a 20 cm diameter round cake pan.
• Grease them and sprinkle with flour (knock the excess flour out afterward).
• Line the bottoms with parchment paper.
• Mix the butter with the sugar until it's light and airy.
• While mixing on low speed at the cocoa.
• Add eggs one at a time, until they are fully incorporated.
• Spoon the flour, baking powder, espresso powder, and sodium bicarbonate and mix further on medium speed.
• Gradually pour the water in and mix until a smooth dough appears.
• Divide the dough between the baking tins and bake for 30 to 40 minutes (until a skewer comes out clean when you prick it in the middle).
• Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius).
• Cut the top off the top cake, so it is flat. Leave the other cake in the tin.

Filling

• Melt the chocolate au bain-marie and mix it with the espresso powder, milk, and butter.
• Allow the mixture to cool to 100 degrees Fahrenheit (37 degrees Celsius).
• Beat the mascarpone with the whipped cream until peaks are formed and fold it into the chocolate.
• Spread the filling over the cake that's left in the tin and place the second cake on top. Let this stiffen for at least an hour in the fridge.

Decoration

• First, melt the chocolate au bain-marie and smear the chocolate on the baking paper.
• Meanwhile, melt the chocolate.
• When the pure chocolate is slightly hardened, smear the milk chocolate through it with a brush, that way creating an artful effect.

Finishing cake

• Decorate the top with chocolate curls and if you want a dollop of cream.
• Bon Appetit.
