  • Preheat the oven to 170 °C.
  • For the chocolate cake, sift the flour with the baking soda, salt, cocoa, and sugar in a bowl.
  • Beat the eggs with the vanilla extract, add the butter, cream, melted chocolate, gradually add the dry ingredients alternating with the warm milk, and beat for 5 more minutes until fully integrated.
  • Pour into two 20 cm diameter molds previously greased and floured, bake for 25 minutes or until cooked. Let cool and set aside.
  • Place the cookies in a bag and crush them with a rolling pin until you get a powder.
  • In a bowl, mix the cookies with the nuts and butter, and mix until combined. Set aside.
  • For the rompope cheesecake, beat the cream cheese with the whipping cream, add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, rompope, yellow food coloring, and continue beating. Once integrated, gradually add the melted gelatin and mix very well.
  • For assembling, place the cookie mixture in a cake mold and press down with a spoon to form the base. Place a layer of chocolate cake on top and pour the rompope cheesecake, smooth with a spatula, and refrigerate until set.
  • Remove from refrigeration and cover with the other cake layer. Unmold and set aside.
  • For the frosting, beat the cream cheese with the whipping cream and powdered sugar until you have a firm and smooth frosting.
  • Cover the cake with the frosting and smooth it out well with the help of a serrated spatula. Decorate with melted chocolate, forming a uniform drip around the edges of the cake.
  • Add the caramelized nuts in the center and arrange the chocolate bunnies on the edges. Refrigerate until the chocolate sets and serve.
