Instructions

Working time approx. 45 minutes; Rest time approx. 3 hours; Cooking/baking time approx. 45 minutes; Total time approx. 4 hours 30 minutes

Preheat the oven to 180°C (top/bottom heat). Line a springform pan with baking paper or line a cake ring with baking paper. Beat the eggs, salt, sugar, and vanilla for about 10-15 minutes until frothy. Mix the flour, cocoa, and baking powder. Carefully stir the oil and coffee milk into the egg foam. Sift in the flour mixture and stir briefly and carefully on the lowest setting until no lumps remain. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, depending on the size. Do the skewer test. Allow the base to cool completely and then remove from the pan. For the filling, whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Whip the cream cheese, mascarpone, sugar, and lemon zest until frothy. Carefully stir in the whipped cream and stiff peaks. Mix berries into the cream, if desired. Cut a thin, horizontal layer off the base. This will later go in the center of the cake. Cut the remaining base in half. Cover the bottom layer with a cake ring and place halved strawberries around the edge. Pour about half of the cream into the tin. Place the thinly sliced ​​lid on top. Spread the remaining cream on top and place the second layer on top. Refrigerate the cake for about 2-3 hours. Carefully remove the cake ring. Melt the chocolate coating and decorate the cake, starting from the top, with it. Slowly let the chocolate run down the edges. Once the chocolate has hardened, the cake is ready to decorate and eat.
