Instructions
Cake
- Sift the flour, cocoa and baking powder into a bowl.Separate the whites from the yolks. Pour the egg whites into a large bowl in which you will beat the foam and the yolks into a small bowl or cup.Add oil to the yolks, mix.30 g extra dark cocoa, 100 g flour, 4 eggs, 50 ml oil, 1 tsp baking powder
- Add salt to the whites, beat until stiff, add sugar in portions, spoon by spoon, until the sugar dissolves, add sugar with real vanilla. Add the egg yolks mixed with oil to the beaten egg whites with sugar (I keep mixing with a mixer, you can also mix by hand using a whisk or a silicone spatula). Add the mixed and sifted cocoa and flour to the eggs. Add gradually spoon by spoon. Mix thoroughly and transfer to a baking tray lined with baking paper. You can tap the dough on the counter a few times to get rid of air bubbles.Bake the cake in an oven preheated to
338 °F for 35 minutes.Set the baked cake aside to cool.140 g sugar, 10 g vanilla sugar, salt
Mixture
- In the bowl of a mixer, mix the baked cake, jam, mascarpone and melted chocolate. Mix until smooth.Form balls the size of large nuts/ice cream scoops. Insert a stick into each ball. Place the cakepops in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.250 g mascarpone, 185 g jam, 200 g dark chocolate
Coating
- Melt the chocolate with a little butter and pour into a tall glass. Dip the cooled cakepops in the glaze so that a piece of the stick is also covered in chocolate. This will ensure the cake doesn't fall off the stick. On a cold cake, the icing will set quickly. Sprinkle the lollipop with decorations of your choice and put it aside. Place the finished cake pops in the fridge for the icing to harden completely. TIP: Drizzle the chocolate on the cake pops a few hours before serving so that the cake pops have time to thaw in the fridge if they froze while chilling in the freezer.300 g chocolate, 1 tbsp butter, cake pops sticks, sprinkles
