Oblíž prst is a traditional Slovak cocoa cake with vanilla pudding filling and whipped cream. Bake the batter made with egg yolks, sugar, water, oil, and cocoa for 20 to 25 minutes at 180 °C (350 °F). Use the egg whites in the filling: fold the whites beaten with sugar into the hot, thick vanilla pudding. Top the cooled filling with whipped cream and grated chocolate. Chill the cake thoroughly in the refrigerator before slicing.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

  1. Beat the egg yolks with the sugar, water, and oil, then add the flour, baking powder, and cocoa powder. Pour the batter into a baking pan or cake pan greased with butter and dusted with flour. Bake at 180 °C (350 °F) for about 20–25 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, prepare the filling: cook the pudding mix with the milk, without adding sugar, until very thick. Beat the egg whites with the sugar until fluffy, then fold them into the hot pudding until thoroughly combined.

    Tip: If the filling is too thick and stiff, soften it with butter.

  3. Spread the filling over the baked cake and let cool. Whip the cream and spread it over the cooled filling. Decorate with grated chocolate and chill in the refrigerator.

Tip: Sift the cocoa powder with the flour to prevent lumps in the batter. Beat the egg whites before you start cooking the pudding so you can fold them in while it is still piping hot.
