To
prepare the crumble, add the ingredients to the bowl of a mixer with a
dough hook and mix well. Split mixture into two parts. Place one-half in
the fridge. Take the remaining half and spread half on the bottom of
one pan, and the other half on the other pan. Bake in an oven that has
been preheated to 160ºC for 15 minutes. Remove and let cool.
To
prepare the cake, use an electric mixer with a whip attachment. Add all
of the ingredients to a bowl, except for the raspberries. Mix until
smooth, then add raspberries and mix gently. Pour into both pans.
Sprinkle the rest of the crumble on top. Return the cakes to the oven
that has been preheated to 160ºC and bake for 45 minutes. Let cool well
and then place in the fridge or freezer for 1 hour.
To
prepare the icing, melt the chocolate a few seconds at a time or over a
bain marie. Add the oil and blend with an immersion blender. Add a
little bit of white and red food coloring until you obtain a pink shade
you like. Blend until mixed well.
Remove
cakes from the pans and place on a wire rack. Smooth on icing and then
sprinkle the bottom half of the sides with powdered sugar. Adorn with
almonds, dried raspberries and rose petals.
