Instructions
Chocolate Molly cake
- Preheat your oven to 160°C and line two 6-inch / 15 cm round baking pans with parchment paper.
- Place the eggs, sugar and vanilla in the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat on medium-high speed for at least 10 minutes. (The mixture will triple in volume).
- Meanwhile, sift and mix the dry ingredients together, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.
- Lower the speed of the mixer and incorporate the dry ingredients then let the mixer run for 1 minute at most.
- Whip the cold heavy cream with an electric whisk until it becomes a thick cream.
- Add a small amount of the whipped cream to the bowl and mix at medium speed for a few moments to soften the mixture.
- Gently fold in the remaining whipped cream with a spatula and scrape the bottom of the bowl.
- Divide the dough in 2 and pour it into the 2 prepared pans.
- Bake in the oven for about 45 minutes and check for doneness by sticking a toothpick in it.
- Let the cakes cool a little before unmolding them and letting them cool completely on a cake rack upside down.
- Cover with cling film and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours. (You can prepare the sponge cake 1 to 2 days in advance)
Kinder chocolate ganache
- Place the kinder maxi and the chocolate in a saucepan.
- Add the heavy cream and heat over medium heat until the ganache is liquid and not chunky. (use a hand blender if necessary).
- Transfer to a container, cover with cling film and place in a fridge for one night.
- On the d-day, whip the Kinder ganache at medium speed for about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Then add the cold mascarpone and continue beating at medium speed for another 3 to 5 minutes until you have a smooth, thick ganache.
- Keep in a refrigerator until the cake is ready to be assembled.
White chocolate Swiss meringue buttercream
- Follow the recipe for White Chocolate Swiss Meringue Buttercream and leave at room temperature until ready to assemble.
Chocolate glaze
- Place the chopped chocolate and heavy cream in a small bowl.
- Heat in the microwave or double boiler until you have a liquid ganache.
- Use the pouring glaze at 30-35°C (prepare it about 20 minutes before decorating)
Assembly, smoothing and decoration
- Cut your sponge cake in 4 layers with a cake leveler or a large knife.
- Fill 2 pastry bags with the buttercream and the other with the Kinder ganache.
- Place the first layer on a cake turntable and place a curl of buttercream on the edges.
- Fill the inside with ganache and add a few pieces of Kinder Bueno, add another layer of ganache and smooth with an angled spatula.
- Cover with a second layer of sponge cake and repeat the last step for all layers.
- Apply a layer of buttercream to the whole cake and smooth with a icing smoother.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate glaze and drizzle it over the sides.
