One of the bag of cookies was of type quaresimali, with chocolate, in the form of letters of the alphabet, something that you can buy only around the time of carnival here. The second bag contained cookies made of corn flour, quite good to accompany a cup of black tea actually. I placed all these cookies in the blender and after a few turns I had the cookie-flour for the base of my cake. In the mean time I had already melted about 200 grams of butter and left it aside to cool. I mixed the cookie-flour and the melted butter with a tablespoon of dark cacao. After covering the bottom of my springform pan with baking paper I pressed this mixture to cover it evenly and baked the base for 10 minutes in 175 degrees C.
While the base was in the oven I began preparing the fill. In a bowl I mixed 250 grams of mascarpone cheese and a cup of sugar. I added 2 tablespoons of flour to the cheese-sugar mixture instead of only one as written in the original recipe. Then I added 5 eggs one by one, mixing very well after adding each egg. I substituted the sour cream with two tablespoons of full-milk yogurt. Finally I added the melted chocolate and 1 ml of vanilla extract. After tasting the mixture I decided that it was too sweet for my taste (must be the chocolate from the Easter eggs; milk chocolate, nobody likes it in the family, that is why it was left uneaten until today). So I added one full tablespoon of dark cacao. Looking in the box of cacao I noticed that very little was left. I thought 'What the heck..' and added the rest of the cacao as well :-) I poured the mixture over the base and rolled it into the oven at 220 degrees C. After 15 minutes I took the temperature down to 150 degrees and put the timer to 45 minutes. Right now the cake is still cooking. So I cannot tell you yet how this experiment turned out. But I will add a picture here as soon as possible, and tell you what the family members thought about my all chocolate cheesecake.
The all chocolate cake was delicious! We all ate two slices each yesterday. But next time I will try to make it with a different base, maybe a thin layer of pan di spagna with cacao. This one was rather heavy for our taste. We are not used to eating so much butter. (14.04.2007 10:03 AM)
