Critical Success Points

  • Achieve a softened butter batter without overheating
  • Check the cake doneness with the tip of a knife
  • Properly temper the milk onto the yolks to avoid curdling
  • Ensure the mixer bowl is free of butter before whipping the mousse
  • Cut the cake into two layers evenly
  • Melt the chocolate at low temperature (≈ 35 °C) to prevent burning

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the hot butter in the microwave carefully to avoid burns.
  • The milk and cream reach boiling point; use pot holders.
  • Melted chocolate is very hot; do not touch directly.
  • Use a sharp, stable knife to cut the cake.
