Zubereitung von Egyptian Cake
- Melt 4 ounces of bittersweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth). Stir in 5 tablespoons of hot water until smooth.
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 4 large egg yolks, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in 1 cup of milk.
- Gently fold in the melted chocolate.
- In a separate bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.
- Gradually add 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites until just combined.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto wire racks to cool completely.
- **Frosting:** Prepare a simple buttercream frosting by creaming together ½ cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter, 3 cups powdered sugar, and 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder. Add milk, a tablespoon at a time, to reach desired consistency. Add more cocoa powder for a richer chocolate flavor.
- Once the cakes are completely cool, frost the layers and assemble the cake. Fill the layers with your favorite filling (avoid anything too overpowering).
