So now it’s rolled up, it may break on the top, but never mind since we are using the other half of the filling to cover the cakeġ3. Roll it up – the most stressful part, be careful, good luck!ġ2. Here comes the art with the Nutella, layer the cake with Nutella, then with some of the filling as well (some= max with half of the filling)ġ1. Place the cold cake to a clean powder sugared tea towelġ0. For the filling mix the mascarpone, the powder sugar and the brandyĩ. Purr the chocolate mass mixture to a baking sheet (26cmx32cm for best result – we’ll need to roll the cake)Ĩ. Let’s beat the egg whites to firm peaks ( useful tips about egg white beating on this link) (my grandma said if we add a little sugar to it, just a very little, it helps to get harder texture, and the firm peak test of hers is a funny one: if you turn the bowl upside down and it doesn’t want to fall off immediately, you’re good to go – only for brave ones to follow!) then add this to the chocolate massĥ.

Stir the egg yolk to a creamier texture until it turns white (on the top) adding the sugar to it first gradually, followed by the chocolate creamy mass and the flour, tooģ. Melt the chocolate over steam and add coffee, mix them to a creamy mass the let it get coldĢ.

With Valentine’s Day in the corner, or for those who are happy with “just because” occasion this cake could be a thing. My mum found this wonderful piece of recipe and it debuted as a birthday cake, soon turned to be the favorite and manages to maintain its celebrity status ever since.
