below in my description box or you can check it out on my website now let's get cooking first thing we're going to do we're going to make our sponge so add eggs and sugar into a bowl and you're going to whisk this for a good three to five minutes until the eggs triple or double in volume and become very nice pale and fluffy they should look just like that you should be able to create an eight with your mixture so keep whisking until you reach that consistency over here i've got all my dry ingredients i'm going to sift them through right inside my mixture add that in and gently fold everything together once you're done with your mixture it should be nice and creamy just like that we're gonna divide it evenly between two rings I've placed it onto a silicon mat but you can also use parchment paper divide the mixture evenly spread it out make sure it's nice and even baked and use your spatula to push it inside the corners we're gonna bake our sponges now once our sponges are done they should look like this they'll be very very light and fluffy we're gonna set them aside to cool down now we're gonna make our syrup into a bowl of water I'm gonna add my condensed milk mix everything together and our syrup is done it should look just like this then go around the sides of your sponge cakes once they've cooled down and the mold will come up nice and easy you might want to chop up the top of your cake just to get rid of that skin it's very delicious you can eat that but you want the cakes to be nice and fluffy so they can soak our syrup inside now remove the cakes from the silicone mat and they will be so gentle and airy and fluffy just be careful not to break them next thing we're going to do we're going to add water into our gelatin powder make sure it's nice and cold water and set this aside to bloom for a good five minutes or so now i'm gonna prepare my cake ring for assembling my cake so over here i've got my acetate tape together with my cake ring on a paper clip to hold it in in place and i've placed my cake also on parchment paper and a baking tray so it's nice and easy transfer into the freezer add the first layer of your vanilla sponge and soak it with your condensed milk syrup all over even though the sponges are so soft we're going to make them even softer now we're going to make our delicious creamy mixture add egg whites into the bowl and then we're going to make the syrup at the same time so add your water and sugar into a pot and place it onto the stove it is essential to measure the temperature here because we don't want to overcook our syrup so as soon as it reaches the correct temperature we're going to to take it off the heat and we're going to start whisking our egg whites this process needs to be done at the same time so if you don't have an electrical if you don't have a stand mixer you might need to get everything ready and close to you so once you start to see a little bubbles forming on top of your egg whites you're going to slowly pour the syrup on the corner and keep whisking on medium speed until all your syrup is gone keep whisking until the mixture becomes nice and pale and fluffy you can increase the speed at this point now take your gelatin and melt it in a microwave so it's nice and melted and then once you get nice stiff peaks just like that you can go ahead and add your mascarpone cheese one tablespoon at a time and then add your condensed milk and mix everything together one more time once your gelatin has melted you're going to slowly add your melted gelatin on the corner of the side and keep mixing your mixture it'll be nice pale and fluffy just keep going and here we go and then you're gonna add your double or heavy cream mix everything together one more time the mixture will be so airy and fluffy and creamy just like this you have to work fast because we do have gelatin and as soon as the mixture cools down the gelatin will set so add half of your mixture inside the cake cover the sponge and go inside the corners just like so and then add your second sponge soak it through with your milky syrup and then add remaining of your creamy filling on top to cover your sponge and this is how it looks absolutely stunning we're gonna place this into the freezer to set completely to make our chocolate ganache filling we're gonna melt oil and chocolate together I'm using milk chocolate you can also use dark chocolate if you want it to once the cake is done you're gonna remove it from the mold and take off the acetate tape and then glaze your cake in chocolate ganache it's up to you how you want to decorate your cake I like to decorate with some fresh strawberries and some sugar decorations I'm gonna show you how our final cake looks it's so soft it tastes like a cloud it's one of the best cakes out there absolutely love it it's so so delicious honestly there's nothing better than this cake delicious cloudy spongy vanilla layers with the delicious vanilla souffle cream topped with the thin coating of chocolate this cake is a must make and I hope you enjoy it
