-2 spoons of cane sugar
DECORATION
-100g dark chocolate
CAKE:
break/cut chocolate and butter into squares, melt coffee in 125ml of cold water
melt all (but don’t heat too much). When ingredients will start melt get off from fire, and mix till they’ll fully melt
prepare dry ingredients. Sieve flour, baking powder, soda and cocoa in the bowl, add sugar and mix them well
Make egg part: mix eggs (by blender) but not too much – just to mix yolks and whites well. Add buttermilk (yoghurt) and mix
Add chocolate and eggs to the bowl with dry ingredients and mix them GENTLY
Smear 19-21cm form by butter. Pour our cake to the form, and put it to preheated oven (160C) and bake about 1h 25min
baked cake:
Wait till it will fully get cool, and cut it to get 3 flats (i also cutted off the top) Be careful, because cake is moist and delicate :)
PREPARING THE MOUSSE
break the chocolate into squares, put it in bowl. Get small pot and warm up well the cream and 2 spoons of sugar (don’t boil it)
pour it to the bowl with chocolate, and mix until it will melt. Leave it for a while till it will get cool and more thick (i put it into fridge)
Smear the mousse between flats and on top
DECORATION
melt 100g chocolate and smear it on the flat surface, wait until it solidify enough, to scrape off it by spatula (or other utensil)
I was too long on the compy, and my chocolate solidified too much, so i used hairdryer a little :D
put the decoration in the cake and ta-dah~
store the cake in closed box (no need to put it in the fridge)
