Ingredients

For the base:
- 3 fresh eggs
- 1 tablespoon of water
- 4 tablespoons of sugar
- 4 tablespoons of flour
- 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of cocoa
- 1/2 packet of baking powder

For the cream:
- 180 ml of liquid cream
- 150 ml of condensed milk

For the glaze:
- 2 bars of white chocolate
- 50 ml of liquid cream

For the syrup (caramelized sugar):
- 4 tablespoons of sugar
- Water (as needed)
- Rum essence

For decoration:
- Grated coconut
- 1 milk chocolate (for decoration)

Preparation

1. Preparing the bases: Start by preheating the oven to 180°C. In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar and water until you get a creamy and light-colored mixture. Add the oil and continue mixing.

2. Whip the egg whites: In another bowl, beat the egg whites until a firm foam forms. This step is essential for achieving a fluffy base, so make sure the bowl is clean and dry.

3. Combine the ingredients: In the yolk mixture, add the flour, cocoa, and sifted baking powder. Mix with a spatula, then gently fold in the whipped egg whites. Be delicate to avoid losing air from the mixture.

4. Baking: Pour the batter into a baking pan lined with parchment paper and bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the base cool completely.

5. Preparing the cream: In a bowl, whip the liquid cream until it becomes firm. Carefully incorporate the condensed milk, mixing gently to avoid losing volume.

6. Caramel syrup: In a small pot, caramelize the 4 tablespoons of sugar with a little water, stirring until it turns golden. Add a few drops of rum essence for extra flavor.

7. Assembling the cake: Cut the cooled base into two or three layers, depending on your preference. Soak each layer with the caramel syrup, then spread a portion of cream on each layer. You can also add a layer of coconut between layers for a more intense flavor.

8. Glazing: Melt the white chocolate together with the liquid cream in a bain-marie. Stir until smooth, then pour the glaze over the assembled cake. Let it set.

9. Decorating: Sprinkle grated coconut on top of the cake and decorate with pieces of milk chocolate. This will add a contrast and make the cake look spectacular.

Helpful tips:
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature to achieve a uniform batter.
- You can experiment with different flavors for the syrup by adding vanilla or almond essence.
- This cake can be served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious contrast.
