Mozart Cake: No one can resist.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

CAKE BATTER:<\/h3>\n

4 large eggs, separated<\/p>\n

\u00bd cup granulated sugar<\/p>\n

\u00be cup flour, plus<\/p>\n

1 tablespoon flour<\/p>\n

\u00bd cup cornstarch, plus<\/p>\n

1 tablespoon cornstarch<\/p>\n

\u00bd teaspoon baking powder<\/p>\n

CHOCOLATE GANACHE FILLING:<\/h3>\n

2 cups heavy cream, divided<\/p>\n

1\u00bc cups good quality milk chocolate chips (8 ounces)<\/p>\n

1 (4 ounce) semisweet chocolate, grated<\/p>\n

2 tablespoons unsalted pistachios, finely chopped<\/p>\n

DECORATION:<\/p>\n

1 package (7 ounce) sweetened marzipan paste.<\/p>\n

Green food coloring paste (optional)<\/p>\n

1 tablespoon unsalted pistachios, finely chopped<\/p>\n

\u00be cup heavy cream<\/p>\n

1 packet vanilla sugar (approximately \u00be Tablespoon)<\/p>\n

Directions<\/h2>\n

Beat the egg whites until stiff, while gradually adding sugar. Once complete combine with the egg yolks one at a time.<\/p>\n

Next, combine flour, baking powder, and cornstarch by shifting them into a separate bowl, and fold into the egg mixture.<\/p>\n

Prepare a large nonstick springform pan by lining it with parchment paper. Fill the pan with the batter.<\/p>\n

Bake in a preheated oven at 350 F for 30 minutes. It should\u00a0not rise beyond the top of the pan<\/p>\n

While your pan cools, heat 1\/2 cup of the cream in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir milk chocolate into cream until it melts. Let cool for 1 hour at room temperature.<\/p>\n

Next, grate the bittersweet chocolate with a grater.<\/p>\n

Beat 1 1\/2 cups of cream and stop once you see stiff peaks form.<\/p>\n

Stir chopped nuts and half of the grated chocolate into the cooled melted chocolate mixture.<\/p>\n

Fold together the whipped cream and the chocolate mixture.<\/p>\n

Remove the ring from the cooled springform pan and slice the cake into three layers using a large knife.<\/p>\n

Place the first layer on a plate and spread 1\/3 of the chocolate ganache filling. (Extra:\u00a0Add some Mozart<\/em> Liqueur to each layer before adding the filling.) Stack another layer of cake on top and repeat process until the cake is rebuilt with all three layers with filling in between. Be sure to leave some\u00a0ganache to cover the top and sides of the cake. Once covered, refrigerate for 2-4 hours.<\/p>\n

Knead the marzipan until soft and place between two sheets of wax paper. Roll it out into the shape of a circle approximately the size of the springform pan. \u00a0Use a plate are a guide and\u00a0cut out marzipan into a perfect circle. Next, cut marzipan into 16 even triangles, and place them evenly, covering the top of the cake.<\/p>\n

Add another thick layer of delicious grated chocolate to the\u00a0top, and you’re done.<\/p>\n
