Ingredients:
Cake:
6 eggs
230g sugar
75g cornflour
75g 00 flour
75g self-raising flour
75g dark cocoa powder
Whipped Cream:
250ml pure cream
1 tsp vanilla bean extract
30g icing sugar
Ganache:
250g pure cream
230g dark chocolate
Filling & Topping:
Raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, or a mixture
Glazed cherries or fresh cherries, depending on the season
Chambord or Cointreau for brushing
Instructions:
Cake Preparation:
Step1: Preheat oven to 180°C. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until thick, forming a ribbon-like effect when lifted. In a separate bowl, sift together the cornflour, 00 flour, self-raising flour, and cocoa powder. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture, being careful not to deflate the mixture too much. Pour the batter into a prepared 20cm cake tin. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Allow to cool.
Whipped Cream:
Step 2: Whip the cream, vanilla bean extract, and icing sugar until soft peaks form. Refrigerate until needed.
Ganache:
Step 3: Heat the cream in a pot on high until it starts to boil. Remove from heat and pour over the dark chocolate. Whisk until smooth. Refrigerate until needed.
Assembly:
Step 4: Once the cake has cooled, slice it into three even layers. Brush each layer with Chambord or Cointreau. On each layer, pipe an outer circle of whipped cream and a middle circle of ganache. Scatter a mixture of berries over the ganache and cream. Repeat this process for all three layers. For the top layer, pipe the remaining cream decoratively and garnish with a generous amount of berries and cherries.
