Ingredients:
- 150 ml freshly brewed coffee (preferably strong)
- 150 g butter (at room temperature)
- 150 ml milk
- 150 g sugar
- 150 g dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 300 g flour
- 30 g cocoa powder
- 4 eggs (medium)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon rum extract
- a pinch of salt
- ½ packet baking powder (activated with a few drops of lemon juice)
- 9 Ferrero Rocher candies (for decoration)
- powdered vanilla sugar (for decoration)
Steps for preparation:
1. Preparing the coffee: Start by making the coffee. Whether you use a coffee maker or a stovetop pot, ensure it is strong and aromatic. If using a stovetop pot, remember to strain it to remove the grounds. Pour the hot coffee into a large bowl.
2. Melting the ingredients: Add the butter cut into cubes to the hot coffee. It will melt quickly. Then, add the broken dark chocolate pieces. Gently stir until the chocolate is completely melted. Add the cold milk, vanilla extract, and rum extract, mixing well.
3. Preparing the dry mixture: In another bowl, sift the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder activated with lemon juice. These ingredients will add a soft and moist texture to your cake.
4. Beating the eggs: In a mixer, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt for 30 seconds. Then, add the sugar and continue mixing for 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy and light in color.
5. Combining the ingredients: Carefully add the chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, stirring with a spatula or mixing on low speed until everything is well incorporated. Then, gradually add the dry ingredients and mix until you achieve a homogeneous mixture.
6. Preparing the pan: Grease a round cake pan with a diameter of 28 cm with butter and dust it with flour. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the surface with a spatula.
7. Baking the cake: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Bake the cake for 16 minutes. It is essential not to leave it longer, as we want to achieve a moist and soft texture.
8. Adding the candies: After 16 minutes, remove the cake from the oven. Quickly take the Ferrero Rocher candies from the freezer and place them on top of the cake, gently pushing them into the batter to prevent cracking. Close the oven door and leave the cake in the oven for an additional 3 minutes.
9. Cooling and decorating: Once the cake is done, let it cool completely in the pan. When cool, dust it with powdered vanilla sugar for an elegant appearance and added sweetness.
10. Serving: Cut the cake only after it has completely cooled. It will be soft, flavorful, and full of sweet surprises. You can serve it alongside a cup of freshly brewed coffee or a fragrant tea.
