I LOVE this Lady Finger German Sweet Chocolate Cake because it is so easy to make but VERY impressive!
You can make your own lady fingers or purchase them pre-made.
Here’s a video on how to make them yourself:
These are the pre-made ones available in most stores near me that I use:
Specialty Bakers Lady Fingers
Ingredients:
3 pkgs. Lady Fingers
3 pkgs. 8 oz. German Sweet Chocolate for baking
7 & 1/2 TBS. Water
1 tsp. instant coffee (I sometimes combine this with some Kalua)
1 & 1/2 pints whipping cream
1 & 1/2 tsp. vanilla
(Click on the image to get more recipes from the Specialty Bakers site)
Step 1: Melt 2 & 1/2 pkgs. of chocolate & instant coffee with 7 & 1/2 water over double boiler (you can use a smaller saucepan inside a larger one with water in the bottom one if you don’t have a double boiler) (reserving last half of pkg. of chocolate for shaving garnish for top)
Step 2: Stir until smooth.
Step 3: Cool it.
Step 4: Whip 1 & 1/2 pints of whipping cream until stiff peaks form and add vanilla and cooled chocolate. (reserve remaining whipped cream for the topping)
Step 5: Line a springform pan with lady fingers standing upright around the edge.
Step 6: Line the bottom of the pan with lady fingers.
Step 7: Layer filling then lady fingers in pan and end with chocolate filling.
Step 8: Top with reserved whipped cream and sprinkle shaved chocolate over top. Refrigerate to chill completely.
Serve the chilled cake and enjoy!
