Recipe n°47: No-bake cake

Want to bake with the children during the Cindy holidays? This week, we offer you a no-bake, quick and easy cake with small butters. The idea is to transform your small butters into delicious sponge cake by dipping them in coffee. If you don't like coffee cakes, you can replace the coffee with lukewarm milk chocolate, for example. We will therefore alternate a layer of small butters and a layer of chocolate until you make pretty stripes.

In topping, you can sprinkle with cocoa or add a decoration in whipped cream or with red fruits.

Ingredients for the cake:

• 18 small butters
• 200 grams of milk or dark pastry chocolate
• 25 grams of butter
• 25 ml liquid cream
• cold coffee

Steps :

• Prepare the ganache by melting the chocolate in a bain-marie over very low heat. 
• Once the chocolate has melted, add the butter and then the liquid cream. Be careful not to overheat the ganache. 
• To assemble the cake, dip the butter cookies one by one in the coffee and put a layer of cake, then a layer of ganache, and so on… Finish with the ganache. 
• Place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
• Taste!

For presentation, cut the edges of the cake to see the different layers. We did 6 layers in ours.
