- 8 tablespoons flour
- 1/2 packet baking powder
- 3 tablespoons water
- 3 tablespoons oil
- 2 packets 3-in-1 coffee
- Rum essence (optional)

For the condensed milk cream:
- 300 g condensed milk
- 200 g dark chocolate

For the white chocolate cream:
- 300 g heavy cream
- 100 g white chocolate

Step by Step

1. Preparing the sponge
The first step? We create the perfect base for our cake. Start by separating the egg whites from the yolks. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they double in volume and become firm. Gradually add the sugar, continuing to mix until you achieve a glossy and firm meringue.

Helpful tip: Make sure the bowl is clean and free of any grease to achieve a perfect meringue.

Now, add the yolks, mixing well after each addition. Incorporate the oil, water, and flour mixed with the baking powder. Don’t forget to add the coffee packets, which will give the cake an aromatic flavor. Use a spatula to gently fold the ingredients, taking care not to deflate the mixture.

Frequently asked question: Can I use a different type of flour? Yes, you can try whole wheat flour for a healthier option, but the texture will be different.

Pour the mixture into a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 30 – 35 minutes. The cake is ready when it passes the toothpick test—if it comes out clean, it means the sponge is perfectly baked.

2. Preparing the creams
In the meantime, let’s focus on the creams. In a saucepan, add the condensed milk and the dark chocolate broken into pieces. Place over low heat and stir continuously until the chocolate is completely melted. It is essential not to let the mixture boil but to ensure everything combines well into a smooth cream.

In another bowl, add the broken white chocolate and the heavy cream. Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly until the white chocolate is completely melted. Once you have a homogeneous mixture, let it cool well before whipping it to achieve an airy texture.

3. Assembling the cake
Now comes the fun part! Once the sponge has completely cooled, cut it into slices. On a serving platter, place the first slice of sponge and soak it with coffee (or fruit syrup if you prefer a fresher note). Add 1/3 of the white chocolate cream and some fresh fruits (strawberries, raspberries, or whatever you have on hand!). Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Repeat this process for the other layers: sponge, condensed milk cream, sponge, white chocolate cream, until you finish all the ingredients. Finally, spread whipped cream over the cake and let it chill for 10 minutes.

4. Decorating
Time to play with chocolate! Melt the dark chocolate together with the condensed milk, then let the mixture cool slightly. Pour it evenly over your cake, ensuring you cover every corner well.

For an elegant decoration, you can use whipped cream and a few fresh strawberries on top. Not only will they add a pop of color, but also a touch of freshness.

Final Tips
- Variations: You can add nuts or hazelnuts in the cream layers for a pleasant crunch.
- Serving: This cake pairs perfectly with a cup of aromatic coffee or a warm tea.
- Calories: Each serving has approximately 400 calories, but it's an indulgence worth having.
- Nutritional benefits: Strawberries provide antioxidants, and dark chocolate is rich in flavonoids, beneficial for health.
