Instructions:
- Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 9-inch cake pans with parchment paper.
- Mixing the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Melt the bitter chocolate in a double boiler or microwave and add it to the creamed mixture.
- Beat the egg yolks and vanilla extract together, then add them to the mixture.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the cake flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients alternately with the sweet milk, mixing until just combined.
- Beating Egg Whites: In another clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Combining Batter: Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the cake batter until evenly incorporated.
- Baking: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cooling: Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the Frosting:
- Preparing Frosting:
-
- In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs well, then gradually mix in the sifted sugar.
- Melt the butter and bitter chocolate together, then add them to the egg mixture.
- Stir in the lemon juice, vanilla extract, and cream until smooth.
- Fold in the chopped nuts.
- Frosting the Cake: Once the cakes are completely cooled, spread the frosting generously over one cake layer. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake evenly.
- Serving: Slice the Chocolate Cake Supreme and serve it with your favorite accompaniments, such as whipped cream or fresh berries.
