Chocolate Fig Cake Recipe INSTRUCTIONS Start by lining your the bottom layer of your pan with baking paper cut into a round shape so that it fits as perfectly as possible.
Melt your cake base chocolate and then pour it into your cake pan. Put it in your fridge so that it settles. Meanwhile you can make your chocolate mousse filling.
Melt the filling chocolate and pour it into a mixing bowl together with your silken tofu, vanilla extract and caster sugar, mix everything together.
Pour the water into a saucepan and add your agar-agar, let them boil together for about 5 minutes stirring constantly. Use the agar-agar flakes, which are prepared a bit differently than agar-agar powder for example so it is important to check the instructions on your agar-agar packet and follow them. Pour the agar-agar mixture into your mixing bowl and mix it together with the silken tofu and chocolate, be fast and thorough.
By now your cake base should have settled, if it has settled pour the filling on top of it. Put the cake in the fridge again and let it sit for a couple of hours or overnight. After you have let it sit you can spread the jam on top of it carefully, don´t break the mousse. Then melt your topping chocolate and pour it on top of the cake, be careful once again and try to make the layer as thin as possible. Let it sit in the fridge until the topping sets.
Decorate the cake before serving with some chocolate decorations or figs. The chocolate fig cake recipeis ready...nice one ! chocolate-fig-cake-recipe-1.
