- Do so for Steps 4~7.
- Spread out cooking paper in the pan.
- Combine the flour and cocoa by sifting together.
- This time I made it with 5g of (sugarless) cocoa, and 5g of dark/black cocoa .
- Return the heavy cream to room temperature.
- Start preheating the oven to 180C for 14 minutes.
- Add the sugar to the egg whites in 3-4 turns, and whip until peaks form.
- Point : Please slowly whisk for one minute at the lowest setting in the end.
- Add the sugar to the egg yolks all at once, mix until white, then add in all of the ingredients and stir together.
- Add the sifted powder to the egg yolk bowl little by little, and mix with an egg beater or a spatula.
- Add the meringue into Step 8 in 2-3 turns, and mix without mashing the meringue.
- Place the batter into the pan, and flatten out with a dough scraper or a spatula.
- Place into the preheated oven and bake for 14 minutes.
- Wrap the freshly baked cake while it's still hot with a large piece of plastic wrap so that it's airtight.
- Place Step 12 into a large plastic bag, and let cool completely.
- Melt the chocolate in a hot water bath, add in the heavy cream that has been returned to room temperature while still in the hot water bath, and stir together.
- After stirring, place into an ice water bath, cool while stirring, and stir for an additional 7 minutes with a mixer once it cools.
- Cut the cake in half once it cools.
- Cut a clear file in half, adjust the length, and use it as a combined stand to move it easily and conveniently.
- Try it out!
- Thickly coat the sponge cake cut in half with the cream.
- Cover with the other half of the cake, and coat all over with the remaining cream.
- Use a knife for the top.
- We will cut the edges in order to prevent them from drying out.
- How to wrap in plastic wrap: We will cut around the edges, so sticking several toothpicks around the edges so that it doesn't stick to the plastic wrap will allow you to lightly wrap it.
- Wrap in plastic wrap, and let sit in the fridge for a minimum of two ours to let the flavor soak in.
- After it has chilled, remove the toothpicks, and coat the entire cake in cocoa.
- After coating in cocoa, Cut around the edges in 4 places.
- Cut into your desired sizes, and it's done.
- I also have a plain version.
