Preparation time: 40 minutes
Baking time: 20 minutes
Total time: 1 hour
Number of servings: 12
Ingredients for the base:
- 6 eggs
- 6 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 packet of Dr. Oetker chocolate Ole cream
Ingredients for the cream:
- 250 ml of whipped cream
- 150 ml of cold milk
- 1 packet of Dr. Oetker vanilla Ole cream
Ingredients for the glaze:
- Dr. Oetker chocolate glaze
Step 1: Preparing the chocolate base
Start by preheating the oven to 180°C (medium heat). Preparing the base is a simple process, but the key is to keep the egg whites at room temperature for better whipping. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites until they become firm, forming soft peaks. This step is essential for achieving a fluffy base.
Gradually add the sugar, continuing to mix at high speed for about 5 minutes, until you obtain a glossy meringue. Finally, gently fold in the chocolate cream, mixing lightly with a spatula to avoid losing the air from the egg whites.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper and pour the mixture evenly into the tray. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the base is firm to the touch and easily pulls away from the edges of the tray. Allow it to cool completely in the tray.
Step 2: Preparing the fine cream
While the base cools, you can prepare the cream. In a bowl, combine the whipped cream with the cold milk and the packet of vanilla Ole cream. Use a mixer to beat the mixture for about 3 minutes until it becomes fluffy and well incorporated.
This cream will add a delicious contrast to the chocolate base and make the cake even more flavorful. Once the base has completely cooled, pour the cream over it and spread it evenly with a knife or spatula.
Step 3: Adding the chocolate glaze
To complete this decadent dessert, add the chocolate glaze from Dr. Oetker. You can melt it gently in a double boiler or in the microwave, being careful not to overheat it. Once melted, pour the glaze evenly over the vanilla cream, ensuring you cover the entire surface of the cake.
Let the cake cool at room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and to firm up.
Serving and suggestions
Once the cake has cooled and set, cut it into servings and serve it with a glass of cold milk or a cup of aromatic coffee. You can decorate each serving with a little whipped cream or some fresh fruit for a pop of color and freshness.
Variations of the recipe
If you want to experiment, you can add some berries or chocolate pieces to the cream for an even more intense flavor. Another option would be to use caramel cream instead of chocolate glaze, providing a contrast of flavors that will surely impress.
Nutritional benefits
This cake, although a dessert, can also offer some nutritional benefits. Eggs are an excellent source of protein, and dark chocolate (if you choose to use it) contains antioxidants that may be beneficial for heart health.
Frequently asked questions
1. Can I replace the eggs with a vegan substitute?
Yes, you can use a plant-based egg replacer, but the final texture of the base may change.
2. How can I make the cake less sweet?
Reduce the amount of sugar in the base or use a chocolate glaze with a lower sugar content.
3. Is it necessary to use Ole cream?
No, you can use homemade vanilla cream, but make sure it is thick enough to support the structure of the cake.
In conclusion, Krem a la Krem is a beautiful dessert, easy to prepare and full of flavors. Whether you make it for a special occasion or simply to treat yourself, this cake will surely become your favorite. So, put on your chef's attire and let yourself be carried away by the magic of cooking!
