I made it with coffee - 3 Tablespoons dissolved in a 1/4 cup water

Ah, for the chocolate mixture -- you are stirring it while it is in the double boiler over the fire. And you don't need to stir constantly, just every little while or so.

I've been making it every year since I saw it that unknown magazine. It's a patchke, but I like messing in the kitchen, and I love not having to throw out yolks.

My grandmother refuses to eat this cake because she's convinced it's store bought, and she doesn't trust me that it's actually homemade. Her loss Smile

I know this is an old post but did you make it with coffee only, and no cocoa? Was it good?

Does anyone know/think that this cake can be made without any oil.
Would really appreciate knowing, as I can use all ingredients except oil.

You probably can but the cream will be a different texture

So funny! I made a bunch of cakes, and of all of them, this was literally the only one I didn't pin for future!
The cake is very nutty tasting, which is quite specific (not so "safe"), andthe cream is extremely rich (ok, I love rich, but my threshold is lot richer than most people's, and I feel like many wouldn't be able to handle it). It's so funny how everyone has such different taste!

We cut into little pretty squares and it's a real treat from the freezer. A little goes a long way.

I've made this cake for Yom Tov now and about to freeze it. But I'm a little confused about how to serve it. Do you serve it frozen straight from the freezer or do you defrost first?

Keep in freezer. When you take it out the squares defrost quickly.
