Ingredients
Scale
Base and Filling
- 20 chocolate and cream wafer rolls
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1/2 cup chocolate ganache
Flavoring
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp sugar
Decoration (Optional)
- 1/4 cup edible gold leaf
- Fresh roses for decoration
Instructions
- Prepare the whipped cream: In a mixing bowl, beat the whipped cream together with 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until stiff peaks form, ensuring a light and fluffy texture.
- Create the ganache base: Spread a thin, even layer of the chocolate ganache on a serving plate to form the base of the cake. This will help hold the wafer rolls in place.
- Arrange the wafer rolls: Stand the 20 chocolate and cream wafer rolls vertically around the perimeter of the ganache base, forming a neat circle to create the cake’s walls.
- Fill the center: Spoon the prepared whipped cream into the center of the circle formed by the wafer rolls, spreading it evenly to fill the interior.
- Decorate the top: Add extra whipped cream on top as desired and delicately apply edible gold leaf pieces for a luxurious finish, if using.
- Chill the cake: Place the assembled cake in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow it to set firmly and blend the flavors.
- Final decoration: Just before serving, decorate the cake with fresh roses for an elegant and beautiful presentation.
Notes
- Use fresh, cold whipped cream for better stability when whipping.
- Edible gold leaf is optional but adds a sophisticated flair to your dessert.
- Fresh roses should be organic and pesticide-free if used for decoration.
- For a firmer center, slightly chill the whipped cream before filling.
- Chocolate ganache can be made by heating equal parts cream and chopped chocolate until melted and smooth.
