Christmas Tree Cake

Preparation

1. STEP 1 OF 7

   Melt the coarsely chopped chocolate in a double boiler. Using an electric mixer, beat the whole eggs with the sugar until the mixture is fluffy and frothy.

2. STEP 2 OF 7

   Add the oil, water, and melted chocolate, and mix again, this time with a hand whisk. Combine the sifted flour with the baking powder and finally a pinch of salt. Continue to mix with the hand whisk until the mixture is smooth.

3. STEP 3 OF 7

   Prepare the Christmas Tree mold with butter and flour. Pour the mixture inside and bake in a preheated static oven at 170°C for 40 minutes.

4. STEP 4 OF 7

   In the meantime, prepare the chocolate glaze: melt the dark chocolate with the butter and 2 tablespoons of water in a double boiler over low heat.

5. STEP 5 OF 7

   When the chocolate becomes fluid and shiny, remove the container from the double boiler and stir occasionally to cool it down and ensure it reaches a consistency that is neither too liquid nor too thick. If you have a kitchen thermometer, you can check the temperature; I used the glaze when it reached 35 degrees.

6. STEP 6 OF 7

   When the cake is ready, let it cool slightly and remove it from the mold. Place it on a wire rack and cover the surface of the Christmas tree with the chocolate glaze, using the back of a spoon.

7. STEP 7 OF 7

   Decorate with the colored and silver sprinkles and transfer to the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, so the glaze hardens. Then you can also store it at room temperature.
