Ingredients
To prepare our favorite cake, you will need the following ingredients:
- 5 eggs (you must separate the whites from the yolks)
- 70 grams of sugar
- 50 grams of flour
- 70 grams of vegetable oil
- 500 grams of mascarpone
- 3 tablespoons of chocolate paste
- 90 grams of hazelnuts
Step 1: Separate the Eggs
The first step to making this delicious cake is to separate the eggs. It is important to do this when they are cold and then leave them at room temperature for 30 minutes, covering them with plastic wrap.
Step 2: Beat the Whites
In a bowl, beat the egg whites until slightly foamy. Then, add the sugar and continue beating for 4-5 minutes until white and shiny.
Step 3: Add the Yolks
Add the yolks to the egg whites, one at a time, and mix with a mixer or whisk until well incorporated.
Step 4: Add the Flour
Through a sieve, add the flour to the egg mass in parts and mix well with a mixer or spatula.
Step 5: Add the Oil
Add the oil to the dough and mix until all the ingredients are completely integrated.
Step 6: Bake the Cake
Pour the dough into a 30 x 40 cm baking tray, previously covered with baking paper. Level the dough with a spatula and bake at 200 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
Step 7: Prepare the Syrup
While the cake is baking, prepare the syrup. In a saucepan, place the water and sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil and then let the syrup cool.
Step 8: Soak the Cake Strips
Once the syrup is cold, dip the cake strips into it.
Step 9: Prepare the Cream
In a bowl, place the sour cream, mascarpone and chocolate paste. Stir the cream until smooth.
Step 10: Assemble the Cake
Place 3 tablespoons of cream in a pastry bag to use later for decoration. Then, spread the cream gently over the cake strips.
Step 11: Roll and Decorate
Start by rolling up the first strip of cake and placing it on a flat plate. He continues to twist the next strips over the first until the entire cake is formed. Apply the remaining cream on the cake and decorate it with chopped hazelnuts and cream taken from the pastry bag.
