Como fazer Taylor's Zuccotto
- Generously spray a 1 1/2-quart bowl with nonstick cooking spray.
- Line the bowl completely with plastic wrap, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
- Cut a 1-pound pound cake crosswise into 1/3-inch-thick slices.
- Cut each slice diagonally in half to create 2 triangles.
- Line the bottom and sides of the prepared bowl with the cake triangles, fitting them together like a puzzle to minimize gaps. Reserve extra triangles to cover the top.
- Brush the cake lining the bowl with 2 tablespoons of tiramisu-flavored coffee syrup (or brandy).
- Melt 6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate in a double boiler or microwave until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, beat 1 cup heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the cooled chocolate into the whipped cream, 1/4 cup at a time, until well combined.
- Spread the chocolate cream evenly over the cake lining the bowl, creating a well in the center.
- In another bowl, combine 1 cup heavy cream, 1 teaspoon almond extract, and 1/2 cup powdered sugar.
- Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until stiff peaks form.
- Fold in 1/2 cup chopped nuts (almonds or hazelnuts recommended).
- Spoon the cream mixture into the well in the center of the chocolate cream.
- Brush the reserved cake triangles with 1 tablespoon of tiramisu-flavored coffee syrup (or brandy).
- Arrange the cake triangles, syrup-side down, over the filling, completely covering it. Trim as needed to fit.
- Cover the zuccotto tightly with plastic wrap, press gently, and top with a plate for weight.
- Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight (up to 1 day).
- To serve, invert the cake onto a serving platter.
- Carefully remove the bowl and plastic wrap.
- Sift 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder over the top.
- Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy!
