Ingredients
- For the Cake
2 very large eggs or 3 small ones
1 tsp baking powder
95 g (3.4 oz) sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
35 g (1.2 fl oz) odorless vegetable oil
100 g (3.5 oz) caramel
A pinch of salt
1 oz of Pecans for decorating (optional)
100 g (3.5 oz) flour
- For the cream
53 g (1.9 oz) caramel (to make the cream)
166 g (5.9 oz) caramel (for filling)
500 g (1.1 lbs) Mascarpone cheese
200 g (7 oz) of 30% fat cream
53 g (1.9 oz) powdered sugar
Directions
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees C° (356 F)
- Separate the whites from the yolks
- Take a large bowl and beat egg whites with most part of the sugar until stiff peaks form. This will take about 5 minutes.
- In another bowl, beat egg yolks with remaining sugar and caramel. Mix with a blender for about 5 minutes until the mass brightens.
- Now add oil and vanilla extract to the yolks.
- Once again, mix everything well with a mixer until combined.
- Add flour with baking powder to the yolks mixture and combine well with a mixer.
- Now add the yolk mixture to the egg whites. Gently introduce it one spoon at a time, stirring with a spatula from the edges to the center. Do not use a mixer or the whites will settle and you will lose the fluffiness of the biscuit.
- Take a cake form, cover the bottom with baking paper. Pour the batter inside the mold and put in the oven at 180 degrees C° (356 F) for 40-45 minutes. Check the readiness of the cake with a toothpick. It should come out dry.
- When the cake is ready, wrap it with cling film. And refrigerate until completely cool.
- Remove the biscuit from the refrigerator, remove the cling film and carefully cut lengthwise into 3 round layers. Set aside.
- Cream preparation
- Mix cream with powdered sugar and caramel until the caramel dissolves. Mix for about a minute. Don’t worry if there are little bits of caramel that don’t dissolve, they will dissolve later in the cream.
- Add the Mascarpone cheese to the cream and mix with a blender for about 1-2 minutes until the cream thickens. Place the cream in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
- In the meantime, soak the cake with caramel. Take 1 tsp of caramel and mix it with 40 ml of water. Stir with a spoon until the caramel is completely dissolved.
- Take a plate on which you will assemble the cake. Place 1 slice of biscuit on a plate. Soak it with caramel.
- Put cream on top. Add caramel to the center of the cream, then dot the caramel with cream again.
- Put the next slice of biscuit on top and repeat the previous steps. Add the last slice soak it with caramel and put the remaining cream on top. I wrapped the biscuit with acetate film to stabilize it, but you can skip this step.
- Leave the cake overnight in refrigerator, it will cool, stabilize, soak and become soft.
- The next morning, garnish with chopped pecans or walnuts.
- Serve the cake with your morning coffee and enjoy!
