I don’t have much patience for confectionery, everything has to be weighed, measured, waiting for the right amount of time for each step and I’m an anxious cook who always seeks practicality, so this cake is really my thing! I like making Lis’s birthday cakes. The first year I made the Ninho Milk one (see here) and this year I made the chocolate one.
And amazingly, it’s a blender dough!!! Woohoo!!!
Chocolate Dough for Stuffed Cakes
Just add it to the blender glass and blend well for 3 minutes:
4 eggs
200 ml of warm milk
40 ml very strong, cold coffee
1/2 cup of oil (120ml)
1 cup 50% chocolate powder (90g)
1 and 1/2 cup of sugar (300g)
I continue the next step in the blender because mine is very powerful and can handle it, but if your blender is weaker it is better to pour the mixture you blended into a bowl and add the other ingredients and mix manually. Now just add:
2 cups of wheat flour and 1 tablespoon of baking powder.
Place in a greased and floured pan and bake in a preheated oven at 180ºC until baked. I used a 21cm x 10cm tall pan that was enough to cut 3 discs of dough.
Chocolate Mousse Filling (used to fill and cover cake).
Ingredients:
250g chopped milk chocolate;
1 teaspoon of unsalted butter;
150g of cream (can or box);
3 col. (soup) of water;
1 col. (soup) of colorless gelatin;
1 small box of 200 ml of whipped cream mix. (I used Mix Amélia whipped cream);
1 tablespoon of 100% cocoa.
Way of doing:
Place the first 3 ingredients in the microwave to melt and let cool.
Hydrate the gelatin in 3 tablespoons of water and place in the microwave for 15 seconds to melt. Reserve.
Beat the box of Chanty Mix until medium point, if it thickens a little it’s good. Add the cocoa and beat some more. Add the melted chocolate and gelatin. Beat until whipped cream.
Keep in the refrigerator. To fill and especially cover cakes, do not leave it in the fridge for more than 6 hours to prevent it from hardening too much. If it is too hard when ready to use, leave it at room temperature for half an hour.
