Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 40-50 minutes
Total time: 1 hour and 20 minutes
Number of servings: 12

Ingredients for the base:
- 10 eggs
- 10 tablespoons of sugar
- 10 tablespoons of flour
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 packet of baking powder
- 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- 1 handful of raisins
- 2 tablespoons of cognac
- 1 vial of vanilla essence

Ingredients for the creams:
- 2 boxes of mascarpone
- 1 Heidi Tiramisu chocolate
- 1 Heidi milk chocolate with caramelized hazelnuts
- 1 Heidi chocolate with cereals
- 1 Heidi chocolate with caramel
- 1 vial of rum essence
- 1 vial of vanilla essence
- 1 small box of Hulala whipped cream
- Juice from pineapple or apricot compote for soaking

Step by step: Preparing the base

1. Separating the eggs: Start by separating the egg whites from the yolks. Make sure the bowls are completely clean to achieve a perfect foam.

2. Beating the egg whites: In a bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until foamy. This step is essential for giving the base a fluffy texture.

3. Preparing the yolks: In another bowl, add the yolks, a pinch of salt, and a little sugar. Let them sit for a few minutes to enhance their flavor.

4. Sifting the flour: Sift the flour with the baking powder twice. This will help aerate the ingredients and achieve a fluffier base.

5. Hydrating the raisins: In a small bowl, soak the raisins in cognac and rum essence for 30 minutes. This will add extra flavor and moisture to the base.

6. Combining the ingredients: Mix the yolks well with the orange and lemon zest, gradually adding the sugar until you get a homogeneous mixture. Add the essences and drained raisins.

7. Folding in the egg whites: Add two tablespoons of flour and beaten egg whites, mixing quickly from bottom to top to avoid deflating the mixture.

8. Baking the bases: Pour the mixture into a cake pan lined with baking paper and place it in the preheated oven at 180°C for 30 minutes. Check with a toothpick; if it comes out clean, the cake is ready. If needed, leave it for another 10 minutes.

9. Cooling the bases: Once baked, turn off the heat and let it cool in the oven with the door ajar to prevent it from sinking.

Step by step: Preparing the creams

1. Beating the mascarpone: In a large bowl, beat the two boxes of mascarpone until creamy. Gradually add the liquid cream and continue beating until it thickens.

2. Flavoring the creams: Divide the cream into two different bowls. In one bowl, add the rum essence, melted Tiramisu chocolate, and caramel. In the other bowl, add the other two melted chocolates.

3. Combining the ingredients: For the Tiramisu chocolate and caramel cream, gradually mix the chocolate with the mascarpone, ensuring it doesn’t curdle.

Assembling the cake

1. Cutting the base: Cut the cooled base into three equal parts.

2. Soaking the bases: Use the compote juice to soak each layer of the base. This step will keep the cake moist and flavorful.

3. Creating layers: On the first layer of the base, spread 1/3 of the Tiramisu chocolate cream. Place the second layer, then add the second cream. Finish with the last layer of base and cover the cake with the remaining cream.

4. Decorating the cake: Decorating the cake is a creative moment! You can use grated chocolate, fresh fruits, or a simple whipped cream decoration. Let your imagination run wild!

Useful tips

- Possible substitutions: If you don’t have raisins on hand, you can use dried apricots or cranberries for a different taste. You can also experiment with different types of chocolate, depending on your preferences.

- Serving: Serve the cake alongside a cup of coffee or a flavored tea. A scoop of vanilla ice cream can perfectly complement this decadent dessert.

- Storing the cake: The cake keeps well in the fridge, covered with plastic wrap. It’s best consumed within 3 days to enjoy all the flavors.
