The soft and delicious base is made with easily available ingredients that we usually have at home: eggs, sugar, cocoa, flour, baking powder, oil, and milk. The cake is baked in a clever tart pan. This mold gives the cake a perfect shape to be filled. After about 25 minutes of baking, the cake is enriched with a delicate layer of jam and a cream based on mascarpone and cream. The cream is enhanced with a touch of pink color, used to create beautiful tufts with the pastry bag.
Of course, you can choose another color, or leave the cream in its original color.
