Ingredients: 

ALL IN BATTER

  • 100 g (3.52 oz) Wheat flour
  • 2 tsp Dr. Oetker Baking Powder
  • 2 tbsp. Unsweetened Cocoa Powder 100%
  • 100 g (3.52 oz) Ground, Roasted Hazelnuts
  • 150 g (5.29 oz) Sugar
  • 1 pack of Vanilla Sugar
  • 150 g (5.29 oz) Soft Butter 82% fat
  • 3 eggs (size M)
  • 4 tbsp Whole Milk 3.5% fat
  • 50 g (1.76 oz) Dark Chocolate Shavings 

 ADVOCAAT CREAM

  • 150 ml (5.29 oz) Advocaat
  • 3 bags Instant Gelatin / Dr. Oetker Gelatin Fix
  • 400 g (14.10 oz) Cold Whipping Cream
  • 1 pack Vanilla Sugar (optional)

ADVOCAAT MIRROR GLAZE

  • 1 bag Instant Gelatin / Dr. Oetker Gelatin Fix
  • 200 ml (7.05 oz) Advocaat Liquor

 FOR DECORATION

  • 200 g (7.05 oz) Cold Whipping Cream
  • 1 pack of Vanilla Sugar
  • Dark Chocolate Shavings

Method:

Place cocoa, baking powder, and flour in a mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients, excluding the grated chocolate, and combine everything with a handheld mixer on the lowest level first. Continue mixing the dough for approximately two minutes on the highest setting to create a smooth dough. Stir in the grated chocolate. Use a Ø 24 - 26 cm springform pan and line it with baking paper. Pour the dough into the mold evenly. Preheat the oven to 180 c (356 F) and put the cake pan on the oven's rack (middle). Bake for approx. 25 min.

Once done let the cake base cool down. Loosen and remove the edge of the springform pan and place a cake ring around it.

Pour the Advocaat liquor into a mixing bowl. Stir 1 bag of instant gelatin powder into the Advocaat with a whisk for about 1 minute. Whip the cream with 2 packs of instant gelatin until stiff and finally stir in the vanilla sugar. Fold the cream into the Advocaat and spread everything evenly over the cake base. You have to be quick with the preparation as the instant gelatin is setting fast. 

Preparing the mirror glaze is the last step. Stir the gelatin into the Advocaat liquor with a whisk for about 1 minute. Pour the liquid into the middle and distribute evenly by rotating the cake. Place the finished cake in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight.

Decorate your cake with whipped cream and chocolate shavings before serving.
