What can I say ..
What's better than waking up in the morning for a good cup of coffee and a delicious cake like this one?
One of the cakes I loved the most as a child and one of the cakes I love the most even as an adult.
Delicious, satisfying and soooo easy to make !!!
Layers of biscuits dipped in coffee, maybe today I like to dip them in coffee stronger than I used to as a child.. 😊
Between the biscuit layers there's a dreamy vanilla cream and a generous layer of chocolate sauce on top.
Who needs more than that?
seriously!
Maybe the easiest cake to make and the most satisfying to eat.
Ingredients:
For the cake -
400-450 grams of biscuits
200 ml 15% sour cream
250 ml whipping cream
200 grams of cream cheese
200 grams of condensed milk
4 tablespoons instant vanilla pudding powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Cup of coffee [4 teaspoons of coffee on a glass of boiling water] *
2 tablespoons rum [optional]
For the chocolate sauce -
150 grams of dark chocolate
120 ml whipping cream
30 grams of butter
2 tablespoons of sugar
2 tablespoons coffee powder [optional]
Pinch of salt
*The coffee for dipping the biscuits in can be made stronger or weaker according to taste
Prep:
Start by making the vanilla cream, whisk the cream cheese in the mixer bowl for about 2 minutes to open it up a bit.
Add the sour cream and continue to whisk.
Add the whipping cream and vanilla pudding and whisk on medium speed.
Once a firm cream begins to form add the condensed milk and a pinch of salt.
Beat for 2-3 minutes on higher speed until a firm and airy cream is obtained.
Prepare the coffee in which we will dip the biscuits and add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of rum.
Dip each biscuit in the coffee and arrange in a rectangular pan a layer of biscuits.
Spread over a quarter of the vanilla cream and arrange another layer of biscuits.
Repeat until you get 4 layers of biscuits and 4 layers of cream.
Cover the pan and refrigerate.
Prepare the chocolate sauce - Melt all the ingredients together in a bain marie or in short pulses in the microwave [10 seconds at a time] until you get a smooth chocolate sauce.
Remove the cake from the refrigerator and pour over the chocolate sauce and return to the refrigerator for at least 30 min before eating.
Enjoy! :)
