Indulge in the artistry and craftsmanship of Brunetti Classico’s Hen’s Nest Cake, a stunning Easter-inspired dessert that combines exquisite flavours, textures, and visual elegance. Designed to serve 8 portions, this cake is a perfect centrepiece for Easter gatherings, offering a harmonious blend of rich chocolate, vibrant fruit, and delicate textures.
A Masterpiece of Flavour and Texture
At the heart of the Hen’s Nest Cake is a luxurious dark chocolate mousse, carefully crafted to achieve the perfect balance of deep cocoa intensity and velvety smoothness. This mousse serves as the foundation of the cake, enveloping your palate in a rich, creamy embrace that true chocolate lovers will appreciate.
Complementing the dark chocolate is a bright apricot jelly, which adds a delightful contrast to the deep cocoa notes. The natural sweetness and slight tartness of apricot bring a burst of fruity freshness, elevating the overall flavour profile and making each bite irresistibly balanced.
Adding another layer of indulgence is a delicate vanilla chantilly, known for its light and airy texture. This velvety element provides a touch of creaminess, beautifully offsetting the richness of the chocolate mousse and enhancing the fruity vibrancy of the apricot jelly.
For texture, the cake features a crunchy hazelnut base, which adds a nutty depth and a satisfying crunch. This layer provides a delightful contrast to the soft mousse and jelly, making the eating experience even more exciting.
The entire composition rests on a hummingbird sponge, a wonderfully moist and aromatic cake base made with banana, pineapple, and a hint of spice. This subtly sweet and tropical-infused sponge ties the layers together, offering an unexpected yet delightful twist to the traditional Easter dessert.
A Stunning Easter Centrepiece
Beyond its remarkable flavours, the Hen’s Nest Cake is a visual delight. The cake is finished with a glossy golden glaze, speckled for a rustic, nest-like effect. Atop this elegant surface sits a meticulously crafted white chocolate hen, capturing the essence of Easter with its charming details. Next to the hen is an intricately shaped dark chocolate nest, filled with delicate speckled chocolate eggs, creating an eye-catching and festive presentation.
Encircling the base of the cake is a chocolate nest decoration, reinforcing the Easter theme while adding an extra touch of decadence. This artistic combination of chocolate elements makes the cake not just a treat for the taste buds but also a feast for the eyes.
