Ingredients
*For the base:*
- 1 egg
- 100 g sugar
- 100 g flour
- 100 ml milk
- 100 ml oil
- 3 tablespoons cocoa
- 1 tablespoon instant coffee
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon rum essence
*For the caramel cream:*
- 5 eggs
- 800 ml milk
- 1 packet vanilla sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon rum essence
- 200 g sugar
*For the caramel:*
- 5 tablespoons sugar
Preparation
Step 1: Preparing the base
Start by preheating the oven to 160 degrees Celsius. In a large bowl, use a whisk to mix the egg with the sugar, milk, oil, and rum essence. Make sure the ingredients are well integrated and homogeneous.
Then, in another bowl, combine the flour with the cocoa, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. These dry ingredients will add the necessary texture and flavor to the base. Add the dry mixture to the bowl with the wet ingredients and mix until you obtain a homogeneous composition. Set aside.
Step 2: Preparing the caramel cream
In another bowl, whisk the 5 eggs with the sugar and vanilla sugar. Then, add the milk and rum essence, mixing again until everything becomes a uniform composition. This cream will provide the cake with a creamy texture and a sweet-sour taste.
Step 3: Caramelizing the sugar
For the caramel, use a heavy-bottomed pot. Place the 5 tablespoons of sugar over low heat and stir constantly until the sugar melts and turns golden. Be careful not to burn it, as the caramel can become bitter. Once you have obtained perfect caramel, let it cool slightly, then pour it into another pot or at the bottom of the cake pan.
Step 4: Assembling the cake
Over the cooled caramel, pour the caramel cream mixture, followed by the base mixture. Don't worry, the base will rise to the surface during baking, creating an impressive visual effect.
Step 5: Baking
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes. It is important to check the cake with a toothpick test: insert a toothpick into the center of the cake, and if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
Step 6: Cooling and serving
After baking, let the cake cool completely. This is an essential step, as the cake will have a better texture and will come out of the pan more easily. Once it has cooled completely, invert the cake onto a serving platter.
Serving suggestions
This cake is delicious served plain, but for an even more refined experience, try pairing it with a scoop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. A cup of freshly brewed coffee or a fragrant tea pairs wonderfully with this dessert.
Possible variations
If you want to experiment, you can add chopped nuts or almonds to the base mixture or replace the rum essence with vanilla essence for a milder flavor. You can also add some chocolate pieces to the base mixture to create an even more decadent cake.
