Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, vegetable oil, and liquid cream until well combined. Add in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix until you get a smooth batter. Pour the batter into a lined baking tray and bake for 10 minutes or until set. Once baked, allow it to cool slightly, then crumble the cake into fine crumbs.
-
In a bowl, beat mascarpone, liquid cream, icing sugar, and vanilla until you get a smooth and fluffy mixture.
-
Take a small portion of the crumbled cake and press it into a dome-shaped mold or shape it manually into half-spheres. Fill the center with the prepared cream mixture, optionally adding a chocolate spread or ganache in the middle for a gooey center. Cover the filling with more cake crumbs, pressing gently to form a sealed dome shape. Let the cakes chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set.
-
Sprinkle the cakes with powdered sugar and garnish with a mint leaf for a decorative touch. Serve and enjoy your delicious chocolate dome cakes!
