Preparation procedure

  • Preparing the base Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Beat the eggs with the sugar until a thick pale foam. Add the strong coffee and gently fold in the flour mixed with the baking powder and salt. Pour the batter into a cake tin (Ø 24 cm) lined with parchment paper. Bake 25–30 minutes, let cool completely and then slice the base horizontally into 3 equal layers.
  • Preparing the cream Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie and let cool. Beat the butter with the powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy, add the cocoa, coffee, melted chocolate and rum. Whip everything into a smooth and airy cream.
  • Assembling the cake Place the bottom cake layer on a board, spread with part of the cream, top with the second layer and repeat the process. Finally, cover the cake on top and on the sides with the remaining cream. For an impressive appearance you can decorate with grated chocolate, coffee beans or chopped nuts.
  • Chilling Let the finished cake rest in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight. This allows the flavors to meld and the cream to set.
