Instructions
- Prepare the batter: Whip egg whites with sugar using an electric whisk. Add egg yolks by hand. Sift flour, cocoa, and yeast and fold into the mixture. Add oil and mix well.
- Bake the cake: Pour the batter into a pan and bake until cooked. When hot, immediately turn out and cover with cling film.
- Prepare biscuit discs: Carve three discs from the cake, joining scraps to form one disc.
- Line molds: Use the larger biscuit disc to line the zuccotto and chalkboard molds.
- Cook cherries: Cook cherries with sugar and liqueur until softened.
- Prepare filling: Whip cream, mascarpone, and sugar until golden. Add cooked cherries to half of the filling.
- Assemble zuccotto: Use half of the filling for the first layer. Place the smaller biscuit disc on top, wet it, add the remaining filling, seal, and refrigerate.
- Finish and decorate: After resting, turn the zuccotto out onto a plate. Glaze with the cream and mascarpone mixture. Decorate with chocolate curls, piped tufts, and cherries.
