How to make it
- For the cake:
- Let egg whites stand at room temperature in a very large bowl for 30 minutes. Grease and lightly flour a 9-inch springform pan. Set aside.
- Melt chocolate and butter in a medium saucepan over low heat; cool. Stir egg yolks and vanilla into the cooled chocolate mixture. Set mixture aside.
- Beat egg whites with an electric mixer on medium to high speed until soft peaks form (tips curl). Gradually add sugar, about 1 tablespoon at a time, beating about 4 minutes or until stiff peaks form (tips stand straight).
- Fold about 1 cup of the egg white mixture into chocolate mixture. Fold chocolate mixture into remaining egg white mixture. Sift about one-third of the flour over the egg mixture; gently fold in. (If the bowl is too full, transfer mixture to a larger bowl.) Repeat twice, sifting and folding in one-third of the flour at a time.
- Spread batter into the prepared pan. Bake in a 350 degre F oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Completely cool cake in the pan on a wire rack. Remove sides of pan. Brush crumbs from edges of cake. (Top crust will be slightly flaky.) Remove bottom of pan from cake.
- For the filling & frosting:
- Cool, and then slice horizontally into 2 layers .
- Whip the cream with the sugar and vanilla essence till it holds peaks
- Adjust the sweetness as required.
- Reserve 2-3 tsps for each colour you intend to use in small bowls.
- With the rest, sandwich the cake using 1/3.
- Frost the cake with the remaining whipped cream.
- HERE IS YOUR CANVAS....
- Using zipbags with the corners snipped off, paint on whatever you desire with as many different colours.
- THIS GIVES PURE THERAPEUTIC PLEASURE...and tastes great too.
- I finished it off with a sprinkling of pink chocolate shavings, which I made with melting white chocolate, and colouring it pink with food colour.
- Chill well before serving!
