Instructions
Step 1
Chocolate chips or shavings.
Take a chilled dark or dark chocolate bar. Grate it. Sprinkle the resulting crumb over the cake. Place the cold chocolate bar on a cutting board. Holding it with one hand, remove the shavings with a vegetable peeler with the other. Chips can be short or long, depending on your skill.
Step 2
Chocolate glaze.
Pour protein into granulated sugar. Stir with a whisk. When the mass becomes thick and white, pour in the lemon juice and pour in the grated chocolate. Grind the mass until it becomes homogeneous. Pour the icing over the finished cake and smooth with a knife.
Step 3
Chocolate cream.
Make a strong black coffee. Pour 3 tablespoons of coffee into a ladle, add granulated sugar and chocolate. Put on a small fire. Mix the yolks with milk and add them in a thin stream to the chocolate-coffee mass. Bring the mixture to a boil. Refrigerate and whisk with butter. You can layer the cake with cream, coat the top and sides.
Step 4
Chocolate honey cream.
Place the saucepan on a steam bath. Break one egg into it and add one yolk, add sugar and grated chocolate. Whisk until the chocolate is completely dissolved and the mixture thickens. Cool her down. In a separate bowl, mash the honey and butter. Add the chocolate mixture to the mass and beat the cream. Put the cream in a pastry syringe and decorate the cake.
Step 5
Chocolate mastic.
Melt the chocolate and honey in a water bath. Better take liquid honey. Stir the mass constantly until it thickens. Transfer it to polyethylene film and let cool. Then tear off piece by piece and sculpt the figures, like from plasticine.
