Steps for the Stellar Cake
To make this delicious stellar cake, you need to prepare the coffee cake in advance. In a saucepan, melt the butter with the milk and coffee, and when everything is melted, turn off the heat and let it cool. Meanwhile, in a bowl, beat the eggs, vanilla extract, and granulated sugar with electric beaters for a few minutes. Gradually add the all-purpose flour, mixing from bottom to top, then slowly combine the milk and coffee mixture, mixing carefully. Finally, add the baking powder. Once you have a smooth batter, pour it into a pre-greased and floured star-shaped pan of 9.5-10.5 inches and bake in a preheated static oven at 350°F for about 35 minutes. Perform the toothpick test. Turn off, remove from the oven, and let cool.
In a bowl, mix the mascarpone and Nutella with an electric beater until a fluffy mixture is obtained and set aside in the fridge for 20 minutes.
Cut the coffee cake in half and fill with the mascarpone and Nutella cream. Place in the fridge to set for 2 hours.
Meanwhile, while the cake rests, prepare the chocolate glaze. Heat the cream in a saucepan, then add the dark chocolate pieces and mix vigorously, finally add the oil and let it cool to 95°F.
Take the cake from the fridge and glaze the entire surface and edges.
Finally, decorate the surface with hazelnut crumbs and let it rest in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving.
And here it is ready. I hope you enjoy this latest recipe of mine, see you next time, friends.
STORAGE, TIPS, AND NOTES
The cake can be prepared in advance and even the night before serving. For decoration, opt for anything related to Christmas. The coffee in the dough can be replaced with barley coffee or simply omitted to make a plain vanilla cake or one flavored with cocoa or hazelnut.
