Here is the list of ingredients needed to make this recipe:

Gingerbread sponge cake:

• 4 eggs,
• 150 g sugar,
• 150 g of wheat flour,
• 20 g kakao
• 1 pack of gingerbread spice,
• half a teaspoon of baking powder,
• a pinch of salt,
• fat for greasing the baking tray.

Cream:

• 250 g of cream 30%,
• 250 g mascarpone,
• 200 g of dark chocolate,
• 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar.

Icing:

• 100 g of chocolate,
• 4-5 tablespoons of cream.

Separate the whites from the yolks. Beat together with salt until stiff. Then add sugar in batches, continuing to beat. Now add one yolk at a time and mix at low speed.

Combine all loose products. Add a tablespoon of water. Add to the egg white mixture in batches and mix gently with a spoon.

Place the sponge cake dough on the rim or on a greased baking tray. Bake for approx 35 minutes at 170 degrees Celsius. Set aside to cool.

Now make the cream. Pour into the pot 100 ml of cream. Heat it up, reduce the heat to minimum and add the crushed chocolate. Mix until it becomes a smooth mass.

Beat the remaining cream with mascarpone until fluffy and smooth. When it starts to thicken, add the chocolate. Finally, mix in the powdered sugar. Do not beat for too long so as not to overpower the mixture.

Divide the sponge cake lengthwise into three parts with a sharp knife. Fill with chocolate cream. Wrap in foil and place in the refrigerator.

Prepare the icing. Break the chocolate into pieces and combine with the hot cream. A smooth and shiny mass should be formed. Pour it over the cake before serving.
