Raffaello's cake is soft

12 servings
1 days 7 hours


1. First of all, we will prepare a biscuit (preferably a day before the cake is assembled): - break the eggs into a deep bowl, add sugar and vanilla extract; - beat the mass to a strong lush consistency; - sieve the flour in parts and very carefully interfere with it in whipped proteins; - heat the oven to 180 degrees, send the future biscuit to it for half an hour (during baking, you cannot open the door so that the biscuit does not settle); - we remove the biscuit from the mold only after it cools down.

2. We clean the almonds, for which we fill it with boiling water for 5 minutes. Then, draining hot, pour cold water. After such manipulation, almonds are easier to clean. Dry the prepared peeled almonds in a hot pan (no oil) for a couple of minutes, stirring constantly. Nuts should brown a little during this time and become crisp.

3. In order to prepare the impregnation, milk should be mixed with condensed milk.

4. We make the cream by whisking cream cheese (at room temperature) with condensed milk until fluffy.

5. The most interesting and pleasant thing is to collect the cake: - cut the biscuit into 3-4 cakes (using a long knife for bread or using a thread); - impregnate the cakes with prepared syrup; - lubricate each bark after impregnation with cream and sprinkle with nuts, lay out the bark on top of each other; - we send to the refrigerator for impregnation.

6. To prepare the glaze, heat the cream in the microwave or on the stove, add chocolate, having previously broken it into pieces. Put the cream with chocolate on a water bath, and stirring with a whisk, melt until the chocolate is completely dissolved. The mass must be uniform, smooth and shiny.

7. Beat the cream with icing sugar in order to get a fluffy cream to decorate the surface of the cake.

8. We cover the well-chilled cake with white chocolate glaze, sprinkle with coconut chips. Transfer the whipped cream into a pastry bag and deposit small merengues along the edge of the cake, on which we lay out the Raffaello candy. We send the cake to the refrigerator for 5 hours and only then serve it on the table. Surprise your loved ones, eat with pleasure!
