Ingredients:
Step 1: Cream Base Preparation
Begin your delightful biscuits cake by whipping the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form, setting a tone for a light and airy texture. In another bowl, whisk together the egg yolks with half of the milk and cornstarch until smooth. This mixture will contribute to the creamy consistency of the dessert. Heat the remaining milk with sugar in a saucepan until hot, then slowly pour it over the egg yolk mixture while constantly stirring to prevent curdling. This step is crucial for achieving the silky smooth custard that forms the base of the cream.
Pro Tip: Ensure the milk is not boiling, just hot, to prevent scrambling the egg yolks.
Step 2: Thickening the Cream
Next, return the egg-milk mixture to the saucepan and continue heating while stirring constantly until the mixture begins to bubble and thicken. This thicker, enriched cream forms the delicious filling that will coat our biscuits. Pay close attention during this step as constant stirring ensures the cream develops a smooth, lump-free texture that's key to the luxurious mouthfeel of the cake.
Pro Tip: Keep the heat on low to medium to avoid burning the cream.
Step 3: Assembling the Biscuits Cake
Assemble the cake by dipping each biscuit into the cooled brewed coffee for just a second—this ensures they absorb the coffee without becoming too soggy. Lay these biscuits on a plate to form the bottom layer. Spoon a third of the prepared thick cream over the biscuits, smoothing it out to cover them entirely. Repeat this layering process, finishing with a layer of dipped biscuits on top. This methodical assembly contributes to the delightful structure of the cake, with alternating layers of soft coffee-flavored biscuits and rich cream that tantalizes the taste buds.
Pro Tip: For an extra coffee flavor, add a tablespoon of coffee into the cream.
Step 4: Final Touches
Finish the cake by whipping the remaining cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form, then spread this fluffy topping over the final biscuit layer. Dust the top with cocoa powder, and for a beautiful contrast and burst of color, garnish with cherries. These final touches not only add an elegant appeal but also bring a balance of flavors, with the bitterness of the cocoa powder complementing the sweetness of the cream and the tanginess of the cherries.
Pro Tip: Let the cake chill for a few hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
