Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preparing the Base
We start with the fluffy base, which will be the foundation of this delicious cake. Separate the egg whites from the yolks in a large bowl. Add a pinch of salt over the egg whites and beat them with a mixer until stiff peaks form. Gradually add the sugar and continue mixing until you have a shiny meringue.
In another bowl, combine the yolks with the water, oil, flour, and baking powder. Mix well until you obtain a homogeneous mixture. Now, carefully fold the egg white meringue into the yolk mixture using a spatula to preserve the air in the meringue.
Grease a baking pan with a little flour and pour in the obtained mixture. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 15 minutes, until the base turns golden and passes the toothpick test. Let it cool completely on a rack.
2. Preparing the Syrup
While the base cools, we prepare the syrup. In a small pot, combine the water, coffee, sugar, and rum essences. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes. Once the syrup cools, it will be ready to use.
3. Preparing the Tiramisu Cream
Again, separate the egg whites from the yolks. In a bowl, mix the yolks with the sugar until you get a light-colored cream. Add the sour cream and mix well. In another bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until foamy, then gradually fold in the whipped cream. Carefully combine the two mixtures, stirring from the bottom up.
Once the base has cooled, cut it into two equal parts. Soak the first part of the base with the prepared syrup, then spread half of the Tiramisu cream. Place the other half of the base on top, repeating the process with the syrup and cream.
4. Preparing the Glaze
For the glaze, melt the broken chocolate pieces with the margarine/butter, water, cocoa, and sugar in a small pot over low heat. Stir constantly until everything becomes homogeneous. Prepare the gelatin according to the package instructions, then add the gelatin to the chocolate mixture and mix well.
Let the glaze cool slightly, then coat the cake with the chocolate glaze, ensuring you cover it evenly. You can decorate the cake with fondant roses and chocolate candies for a special and attractive appearance.
