This cake won’t let down anyone. It’s all desserts combined: cake (of course), sponge cake, cookies, chocolate, frosting, cream … The procedure is therefore a little bit more complicated but despite this it won’t take more than an hour.
Ingredients (for a cake with 24 cm diameter)
Sponge cake
2 eggs
50 g sugar
30 g flour
5 g baking powder
Teaspoon vanilla essence
15 g walnuts
15 g cocoa powder
0,5 dl oil
0,5 dl milk
Cookie disc
150 g flour
75 g butter
1 egg
30 g sugar
2 teaspoons cocoa powder
Teaspoon baking powder
50 g chocolate, cut in pieces
Teaspoon vanilla essence
Frosting
500 g mascarpone
500 ml whipping cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla essence
Decoration
Cocoa powder
100 ml whipping cream
3 crushed chocolate chip cookies
Procedure
Separate egg yolks and whites. Whip the whites and put them aside. Add sugar to the yolks and whip them. Add all other sponge cake ingredients. Lastly, slowly add whites to the mixture and stir. Pour into round baking tray with 24 cm dm and bake for 15 minutes on 180 degrees Celsius.
Meanwhile, prepare the cookie. Knead the dough from all listed ingredients. Bake it in baking tray with 26 cm diameter for 20 minutes on 180 degrees Celsius.
- Cookie core
When the cookie is baked, cut the circle of 20 cm diameter from the middle. The rest of the cookie crush so you can add the crumbles in frosting.
- Cookie crumbles for frosting
Whip the cream. Add mascarpone, powdered sugar, and vanilla essence. Stir thoroughly. Finally, add the cookie crumbles in the mixture.
Time to put together our cake! First layer: sponge cake. Wet it with mixture of milk and rum (or other alcoholic beverage, like liquor). Spread the frosting, the layer should be about 2 cm high.

Put on the cookie. It’s important it’s diameter is shorter than the rest of the cake. Wet the cookie, too.
- Setting the cookie core
Spread the remaining frosting. Shape it so it’s nicely round. The frosting is thick, so that shouldn’t be a problem.
- Undecorated cake
You can decorate your cake with sprinkling cocoa powder on it, with whipped cream flowers, and crushed chocolate chip cookies. Or be creative and make your own decoration!
