De bereidingswijze

Stap voor stap

  1. 1

    Melt the chopped chocolate in a double boiler over simmering water, or in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.

    Ongeveer 5 min

    Tip van de kok: Be careful not to overheat the chocolate, which can cause it to become grainy.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter on medium-high speed until it is light and creamy.

    Ongeveer 2 min

  3. 3

    Add the confectioners' sugar and salt to the butter. Beat on low speed to combine, then increase to medium-high and beat until fluffy.

    Ongeveer 3 min

    Tip van de kok: Scrape down the sides of the bowl once or twice to ensure everything is evenly mixed.

  4. 4

    Add the egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the cooled melted chocolate and the strong coffee until just combined.

    Ongeveer 3 min

  5. 5

    In a separate, clean bowl, beat the egg whites with clean beaters on high speed until stiff peaks form.

    Ongeveer 4 min

    Tip van de kok: Ensure the bowl and beaters are completely free of any fat or grease, which will prevent the whites from whipping properly.

  6. 6

    Gently fold about one-third of the beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it.

    Ongeveer 1 min

  7. 7

    Carefully fold in the remaining egg whites in two batches until just combined. Be careful not to overmix and deflate the frosting.

    Ongeveer 2 min

  8. 8

    Using a long serrated knife, carefully slice the angel food cake horizontally into five even layers.

    Ongeveer 5 min

    Tip van de kok: Use a gentle sawing motion and rotate the cake as you cut to keep the layers even.

  9. 9

    Place the bottom cake layer on a serving platter. Spread a portion of the chocolate frosting evenly over the top.

    Ongeveer 2 min

  10. 10

    Top with the next cake layer and repeat the process until all layers are stacked.

    Ongeveer 5 min

  11. 11

    Use the remaining frosting to cover the top and sides of the entire cake, smoothing it with an offset spatula.

    Ongeveer 3 min

  12. 12

    Refrigerate the cake for at least 2.5 hours, or up to overnight, to allow the frosting to set and firm up before slicing and serving.
