As we are fast approaching the fall, I do not have cravings for fruit cakes anymore. So, I asked other family members what they want. My brother took a cookbook and (to my surprise), asked for a chocolate cake. Normally he is all into white chocolate. Anyway, I was happy for it because I had a chocolate cake in my mind for quite a long time. You know, something overloaded with chocolate. I like the combination of dark chocolate with coconut, so is the result. Nobody complained and a half of the cake disappeared in a while.
200 g of semi-fine flour
2 tablespoons of baking powder
pinch of salt
100 g of granulated sugar
5 eggs (whites and yolks separately)
spoon of vanilla sugar
2 tablespoons of Amaretto
6 tablespoons of melted coconut oil (for example in DM drugstore)
350 g of 70% chocolate
2 tablespoons of cocoa powder
100 g Oreo of cookies broken into pieces
Chocolate frosting:
250 ml of 33% whipping cream
100 g of dark chocolate
Preparation:
First, in a saucepan, melt the chocolate and in the final half minute add the milk. Let it cool down. In one bowl, whisk the egg whites and mix it with half the dose of sugar. In a second bowl, whisk egg yolks, the rest of sugar, Amaretto and oil. Gradually stir cocoa and cold chocolate into the egg yolk mixture. Then, add flour mixed with baking powder and salt (mix it on the lowest level). Finally, carefully add the egg whites into the dough and broken Oreo cookies and place on the baking sheet.

TIP: Spread the cake tin with oil and sprinkle it with coconut.
Bake for about 45 minutes at 170 degrees.
Meanwhile, prepare the chocolate frosting. Melt the chocolate in a saucepan and pour in the whipping cream. Get it a little warm up. Pour the mixture into a bowl and let it cool down completely. Finally, once you have nice and tough whipped cream, pour it on the cold cake. You can eventually add coconut on the top.
