Instructions

Chocolate Molly cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 160°C and line two 6-inch / 15 cm round baking pans with parchment paper.
  2. 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).
  3. Meanwhile, sift and mix the dry ingredients together, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.
  4. Lower the speed of the mixer and incorporate the dry ingredients then let the mixer run for 1 minute at most.
  5. Whip the cold heavy cream with an electric whisk until it becomes a thick cream.
  6. Add a small amount of the whipped cream to the bowl and mix at medium speed for a few moments to soften the mixture.
  7. Gently fold in the remaining whipped cream with a spatula and scrape the bottom of the bowl.
  8. Divide the dough in 2 and pour it into the 2 prepared pans.
  9. Bake in the oven for about 45 minutes and check for doneness by sticking a toothpick in it.
  10. Let the cakes cool a little before unmolding them and letting them cool completely on a cake rack upside down.
  11. 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

  2. Add the heavy cream and heat over medium heat until the ganache is liquid and not chunky. (use a hand blender if necessary).
  3. Transfer to a container, cover with cling film and place in a fridge for one night.
  4. On the d-day, whip the Kinder ganache at medium speed for about 3 to 5 minutes.
  5. Then add the cold mascarpone and continue beating at medium speed for another 3 to 5 minutes until you have a smooth, thick ganache.
  6. Keep in a refrigerator until the cake is ready to be assembled.
