It is better to cover the mold with cling film, having greased the surface with butter beforehand to make it easier to take the cake out.

Remove it from the heat and pour in the cream one tablespoon at a time until you get a smooth mixture. Let the mass cool to a warm state.

Initially, set the thermostat to 200 degrees, and when the biscuit has been in the hot oven for 20 minutes, it is better to reduce the temperature by 20 degrees and bake for the next half hour at 200. Do not open the door for the first 40 minutes. After this, you can open the cupboard and check the sponge cake for readiness. After turning off the heat, do not take out the pan - slightly open the door and let the cake cool down, then leave it on the table for a day to ripen. Advice: you need to get used to your oven when baking a sponge cake. We recommend that you first try to bake a simple vanilla sponge cake, and only then start making a chocolate one. The Truffle cake is assembled the next day. After preparing the sponge cake, start mixing the cream and chocolate mass for the candies. To make the Ganache cream, you need to bring the cream to a boil, then pour it over the chocolate broken into pieces, mix thoroughly, cool at room temperature and send it to the refrigerator to ripen. Truffle candies are prepared as follows: make the chocolate mass using the cream technique, and add cognac at the end. Cool in the refrigerator. Now is the time to make the highlight of this cake - cognac sauce. Add 100 milliliters of cognac to 200 milliliters of boiled and cooled water. A day later, when the components have cooled enough and reached the desired consistency, begin assembling this delicious dessert. Cut the chocolate sponge cake into 7 pieces with a very thin knife. Soak each piece with cognac sauce and grease with "Ganache". Cover the sides and top of the finished product with the rest of the cream. Make truffles from the cooled candy mass. Scoop up the chocolate mass with a teaspoon and quickly form balls with your hands. Put in the freezer for an hour. After the specified time, melt the chocolate broken into pieces in a water bath to a temperature of no more than 28-29 degrees. Thread each ball onto a toothpick and quickly dip it into the melted chocolate. Place it on smooth paper to harden. Sprinkle the top and sides of the finished "Truffle" cake with chocolate shavings and place the truffles around the circumference. Leave the treat in the refrigerator for several hours. Enjoy your tea!

Gradually add the yolks here. Separately beat the salted egg whites, gradually pouring in sugar one spoon at a time. Slowly add the foam to the chocolate mixture. Lastly, add the flour. Bake the cakes in the following way: on a sheet of parchment paper the size of a baking sheet, draw a circle, tracing the plate with a pencil. On the back of the paper, spread the dough in a thin, almost transparent layer, trying to follow the contours. This amount of dough is enough for 6 cakes. Bake the cakes one by one at 200 degrees, baking each for 7-8 minutes. Place the prepared cake on a sheet of baking paper sprinkled with sugar, carefully peel off the paper with the circle, turn the cake over and let it cool completely. Spread the new portion and put it in the oven to bake. It will go faster if you prepare two sheets with painted circles: while the cake is baking, spread the next one. Bake 6 pieces in this way. When they cool, trim the edges. Then spread the cakes with orange liqueur diluted with a small amount of water. Do not wet their surface too much - just spray a little, otherwise they will stick together. Then stack the cakes on top of each other and cover with foil or a large bowl. Prepare the cream: over low heat, without bringing to a boil, while stirring constantly, heat the cream and white chocolate broken into small pieces. Remove the mixture from the heat, let it cool and put it in the refrigerator for an hour or two. After that, beat the mixture with a mixer until its volume increases by about two times. Gradually add softened not hot butter and rum one drop at a time, continuing to beat. Carefully lay the cakes on a plate, immediately greasing each of them with a thick layer of cream, because it thickens quite quickly.
