Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 30-40 minutes
Total time: 1 hour
Number of servings: 12

Ingredients for brownie:
- 8 eggs
- 200 g sugar
- 4-5 tablespoons cocoa
- 1 cup water (approximately 250 ml)
- 250 g butter (or margarine)
- 1 and 1/4 cups flour
- A pinch of salt

Ingredients for cream:
- 500 g whipped cream
- 2-3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- Vanilla essence (optional)
- Food coloring (optional, for cheerful shades)

For decoration:
- Colorful candies, gummy worms or assorted dragees
- Fondant (if you want a more sophisticated decoration)

Step by step: Making the cake

1. Preparing the brownie base:
In a saucepan, add the sugar, cocoa, and water. Stir gently and place over low heat. Let the mixture boil for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. This process will enhance the cocoa flavors.

2. Adding the butter:
After the mixture has boiled, remove the saucepan from the heat and add the butter cut into cubes. Mix well until the butter completely melts. Allow the mixture to cool slightly so it doesn’t cook the eggs when added.

3. Incorporating the eggs:
In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks and gradually add them to the chocolate mixture, stirring constantly. This will give a rich and moist texture to your brownie.

4. Preparing the egg whites:
In another bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until you form a firm meringue. It is essential that the bowl is clean and dry; otherwise, the egg whites will not rise properly.

5. Combining the ingredients:
Add the meringue to the cocoa mixture in three stages, gently folding from the bottom up to preserve the air in the egg whites. Then, gradually add the flour, continuing to mix gently until well combined.

6. Baking the brownie:
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Grease a square baking pan (or a cake tin) with butter and dust it with flour. Pour the mixture into the pan and bake for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool completely in the pan.

7. Preparing the whipped cream:
Whip the cream with the powdered sugar until it becomes fluffy. You can add vanilla essence for extra flavor and food coloring if you want a cheerful hue.

8. Assembling the cake:
Once the brownie has cooled, place it on a serving platter. Spread the whipped cream evenly over the entire surface of the cake, ensuring it is well covered.

9. Decorating the cake:
Use a piping bag or a cream syringe to create designs on the cake. The inspiration for decoration can be anything from simple geometric shapes to cartoon characters. If using fondant, follow the instructions on the package for proper application.

10. Serving:
Let the cake chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before slicing, so the cream sets a bit. Serve it with colorful candies, gummy worms, or dragees for a playful and appealing look.

Helpful tips:
- You can customize the cake according to the birthday person's preferences by choosing different flavors for the cream or decoration.
- The brownie can be made a day in advance, and the cream added a few hours before serving to maintain freshness.
- This cake pairs perfectly with a cold drink, such as fresh fruit juice or fruit tea.
