Chocolate Liquor Cookie Cake Recipe
Ingredients ¼ cup of Kahlua, or coffee liquor ¼ cup of Bailey’s 2 and ¼ cup of thick cream 200 grams of chocolate cookies Cocoa powder for decorating
- Preparation time: 30 minutes
- Baking time: None, 8 hours in the refrigerator
Preparation
- Very loosely cover a rectangular 26 by 8 by 5-centimeter mold with plastic wrap allowing the plastic to hang out of the edges of the mold. The mold will be used as a support to put the cake together.
- In a deep bowl mix the Kahlua or the coffee liquor with the Bailey’s and set it on the side. Beat 1 and ¼ cups of cream until it becomes fluffy. Dip the cookies 2 or 3 at a time, in the liquor mixture. If the texture of the cookies is hard and consistent, it is possible you will have to leave them to sit in the liquor mixture for 1 minute approximately.
- Place a cookie in vertical position on one side of the mold. Spread some cream on and then cover it with another prepared cookie. Continue alternating the whipped cream with the cookies.
- Tightly wrap the mold over the plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator for 8 hours. Very carefully turn it around every once in awhile and put it back in the mold, this way you will avoid the liquor from settling on the bottom. After 8 hours unwrap the plastic wrap and put the cake over a serving dish. Beat the rest of the cream until it is fluffy. Cover the cake with the whipped cream and sprinkle some cocoa powder over it. Use a sharp knife to cut the cake diagonally so as to form vertical lines.
