Ingredients

Cake Base

Topping

  • 2 1/2 Cups of Heavy Cream
  • 1 Cup Mascarpone
  • 1/3 Cup Sweetener
  • 1/2 Cup Red Currant
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Gather the ingredients: eggs, sweetener, cocoa powder, heavy cream, mascarpone cheese, and fresh red currants. Preheat your oven to 170 Celsius or 340 Fahrenheit. 
  • Whisk the egg whites in a clean, dry mixing bowl until stiff peaks form. Set aside. Whisk the egg yolks with the sweetener in another mixing bowl until well combined. Fold in the whipped egg whites gently. Add cocoa powder to the egg mixture and mix until thoroughly incorporated.
  • Pour the cake mix onto the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Take the pan and bake the cake in the oven for approximately 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely.
  • While your cake is baking, you can prepare your topping. In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside. In another bowl, whip the mascarpone cheese with the sweetener until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped cream until well combined. 
  • Add a handful of red currants to the mascarpone mixture and fold them gently.
  • Once the cake has cooled completely, layer cake with mascarpone topping evenly over the surface. Place the cake in the refrigerator to allow the topping to set.
  • After the topping has been set, remove the cake from the refrigerator. Take it out of the baking pan and slice the cake into 12 pieces. Dust the slices with fresh cocoa powder, which, together with sweetener, are the only dry ingredients here. Garnish each slice with a few red currants and a sprig of mint for an elegant touch.

Notes

  • Room Temperature: Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting the recipe.
  • Cocoa: Use high-quality cocoa powder for a rich and intense chocolate flavor.
  • Whipping: When whipping the egg whites, ensure your mixing bowl and beaters are clean and grease-free to achieve stiff peaks.
  • Cool: Allow the cake to cool completely before spreading the mascarpone topping to prevent it from melting.
  • Toppings: Customize the toppings using other fruits or berries that pair well with chocolate.
  • Extra Flavors: Experiment with different flavor variations by adding a hint of espresso powder or a splash of liqueur to the cake batter.
  • Ganache: To add an extra layer of indulgence, drizzle the cake with the chocolate ganache you shipped up in a small saucepan or chocolate frosting before adding the mascarpone topping.
  • Birthday Cake: Using a round shape baking form and building two layers, you can have the best-ever Birthday cake from this.
