Ingredients

For the base:
- 6 large eggs
- 6 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 tablespoon of flour
- 1 packet of vanilla cream powder

For the cream:
- 200 g Tiramisu chocolate Schogetten
- 100 ml liquid cream for pastry

For decoration:
- Whipped cream (100 ml)

Step by Step

Preparing the Base

1. Separating the Eggs: Start by separating the egg whites from the yolks. You will need two bowls: one for the egg whites and one for the yolks.

2. Beating the Egg Whites: In the bowl with egg whites, add a pinch of salt and beat until you achieve a stiff foam. This step is crucial for obtaining a fluffy base, so make sure the egg whites are well beaten.

3. Adding the Sugar: Gradually start adding the sugar, continuing to mix until it completely dissolves. The egg whites should become glossy and fluffy.

4. Incorporating the Yolks: Add the yolks one by one, gently mixing with a spatula or a mixer on low speed. Be careful not to deflate the mixture.

5. Adding the Dry Ingredients: Sift the vanilla cream powder and flour over the egg mixture and gently fold in using up-and-down motions to retain the air.

6. Baking the Base: Line a baking tray (20/28 cm) with parchment paper. Divide the mixture in half and pour the first half into the tray. Level the surface with a spatula and bake in the preheated oven at 180°C for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Repeat the process with the other half of the mixture.

Preparing the Cream

1. Melting the Chocolate: Chop the Tiramisu chocolate and place it in a saucepan. Add the liquid cream and heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is completely melted. Be careful not to let it boil!

2. Cooling the Chocolate: Once the chocolate has melted, place the saucepan in the freezer for about 15 minutes. This step helps achieve an ideal texture when mixing with the butter.

3. Beating the Butter: In a separate bowl, beat the butter left at room temperature until it becomes fluffy and creamy.

4. Incorporating the Chocolate: Remove the chocolate from the freezer and mix it well. Then, add the beaten butter, slowly mixing until the mixture becomes smooth and fine.

Preparing the Whipped Cream

1. Beating the Whipped Cream: In a clean bowl, mix the liquid cream with the sweet cream until you obtain a firm whipped cream that holds its shape.

Assembling the Cake

1. The Base Layer: Place the first layer of the base on a serving platter. Spread the chocolate cream evenly over it, ensuring it covers the entire surface.

2. Adding the Second Layer: Carefully place the second layer of the base on top, gently pressing down to secure it well.

3. The Whipped Cream Layer: Spread a thin layer of whipped cream over the cake, leaving room for decoration. Use the remaining whipped cream to decorate each slice when serving.

4. Decorating: On each piece of cake, place a cherry from the preserves and sprinkle chocolate decorations for a special touch.
