Ingredients:
Preparation:
Melt the chocolate in a water bath. Separate the eggs and beat the egg whites until they are stiff. In another bowl, whisk the butter and sugar and add the egg yolks. Add the melted chocolate and milk.
Stir in the nuts, flour and baking powder. Then carefully add a third of the eggwhites, then another third, then the third. Please preferably by hand.
Pour your mixture into a cake tin of 20 cm in diameter and bake for 30 minutes in a preheated oven at 170 degrees Celsius. Remove the cake from the tin and leave to cool.
After cooling, cut a circle into the top of the cake about 1 cm from the edge. Do not pierce the bottom of the cake. It should only be a small cut. Use the spoon to lift out the inside of the cake. We make just a kind of small basin into the bottom. These cake remnants are not thrown away. Put them in a bowl and set them aside.
Place the fruits of your choice in the hollow part of your cake. If you are using strawberries, cut the green ends off and place them whole, with the cut end down.
For your cream make a firm whipped cream, add the mascarpone, vanilla and sugar. Spread the cream over the fruit and form a dome with a knife or spatula.
Break the rest of the cake with your fingers into a sort of crumble. Spread this mixture over the cream so that it looks like a molehill.
Tip: If you really want to make children's eyes shine, decorate the cake with a little mole or the tip of the nose of a little mole on it. You can also put fondant or marzipan flowers on the cake to decorate the molehill.
For the cupcakes, bake at 200 C in the traditional oven for 5 minutes, then lower the temperature to 175 C for another 20 minutes.
Remove some of the inside after cooling, put a piece of banana inside and cover with cream using a piping bag with a round tip, spread with a spatula and proceed as with the cake.
Enjoy your meal!
