1/4 ts Extract, vanilla
1/4 ts Cream of Tartar
8 tb Sugar
12 oz Chocolate, semi-sweet,
melted 6 tb Butter, unsalted, melted

CHOCOLATE CREAM------------------------------ 4 oz Chocolate, semi-sweet,
-- melted 1/2 c Water, hot
2 c Cream, whipping
2 tb Rum, dark
* For chocolate leaves, brush melted chocolate on undersides of holly or lemon leaves; refrigerate until firm, carefully peel off leaves. For Cake: ========= Preheat oven to 375 F. Butter and flour 3 9-inch round cake pans. Beat yolks until they are pale yellow and form a ribbon when beaters are lifted, about 5 minutes. Beat in rum and vanilla. Beat whites with cream of tartar to soft peaks. Add sugar 1 tablespoon at a time and continue beating until stiff and shiny. Stir 12 ounces of semisweet chocolate and butter into yolks until well combined. Gently fold in 1/4 of egg whites to lighten the batter, then gently fold in the remaining whites. Sift together cornstarch and cocoa; combine with ground amaretti., Gently fold into the batter. Divide batter among prepared pans. Bake until centers of cakes rise and tops begin to crack, 18 to 20 minutes. Cool 10 minutes in pans, then cool completely on wire rack (cakes will fall slightly.) For Chocolate Cream: ==================== Whisk together 4 ounces of semisweet chocolate and hot water; cool to room temperature. Whip cream until nearly stiff. Gently fold chocolate mixture and rum into whipped cream. To Assemble: ============ Set aside 1/4 of the chocolate cream for decorating the top of the cake. Spread remainder evenly between the 3 layers, stacking them neatly, then spread over the reserved cream over the top and sides. Measure height of the cake. On a sheet of parchment or waxed paper, spread 3 ounces melted semisweet chocolate into rectangle 1/16-inch-thick and as wide as the cake is high. Repeat with melted
white chocolate on another sheet of parchment. Refrigerate until chocolate is firm but not brittle, about 15 minutes. Cut chocolate crosswise into 3/4-inch-wide strips. Refrigerate to refirm chocolate, about 15 minutes. Carefully arrange strips alternately around edges of cake, gently pressing into icing. Spoon reserved chocolate cream into pastry bag fitted with a no. 3 round tip. Pipe mixture into straight lines atop the cake. Dust lightly with cocoa;' refrigerate. Garnish with chocolate leaves. Bring to room temperature before serving.

Moist Chocolate Cake Recipe
Serves 8.
180g marzipan / almond paste 50%*
90g granulated sugar
90g brown sugar
250g eggs, at room temp
180g milk
200g pastry flour
40g unsweetened cocoa powder
4g baking powder
100g toasted hazelnuts
200g butter, melted.
* Marzipan can be substituted for 100g almond meal and 80g powdered sugar. Turn almond meal and powdered sugar into fine powder using a food processor before using.
Method
Sift powder together, and set aside. Cut marzipan into chunks. In the stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat marzipan along with sugars. A couple of drops almond extract may be added to enhance the taste of the almond. Add one egg and continue beating on medium speed until homogenized. Swap paddle for whisk and continue whipping almond mixture adding eggs gradually. Set mixer speed to high and beat for 5 minutes until light and fluffy. Lower mixer speed, and incorporate the milk, the sifted powders, nuts and then the melted butter.
Fill up prepared mold, and bake at 350ºF/180ºC for about 40 minutes. Lower temp to 330ºF/160ºC if using convection oven. Let cook and de-mold. If cake is baked in silicone mold, freeze for a couple of hours to ease un-molding.
The cake can be moisturized with lukewarm simple syrup flavored with alcohol or orange blossom water and vanilla extract.
Glaze cake with chocolate ganache and decorate with crushed pistachios.
To get the chocolate ganache recipe:
Enjoy this chocolate cake at room temperature. Otherwise, cut into 8 portions wrap in plastic film and keep refrigerated. When you want a slice, microwave portion for 10 sec – Bon appétit!
