De bereidingswijze
Stap voor stap
- 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
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
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
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
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
Gently fold about one-third of the beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it.
Ongeveer 1 min
- 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

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
Place the bottom cake layer on a serving platter. Spread a portion of the chocolate frosting evenly over the top.
Ongeveer 2 min

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

Use the remaining frosting to cover the top and sides of the entire cake, smoothing it with an offset spatula.
Ongeveer 3 min

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.
