  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • Grease a thin cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
  • With a mixer, beat the yolks of 4 eggs with 1/3 cup of sugar and the espresso until a fluffy paste forms, about 6 minutes.
  • In another bowl, mix the egg whites at medium speed, and when soft peaks form, add 1/3 cup of sugar while the mixer is running.
  • Increase the mixer speed to high and beat until the egg whites are soft and shiny, about 2 more minutes.
  • Gently fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture and pour into the prepared pan.
  • Bake the cake for 12-14 minutes and let cool on a rack for 5 minutes.
  • Run a knife around the edges of the pan and let it cool completely.
  • Put a pot of water to boil.
  • Fill a large bowl with ice.
  • In an aluminum or metal bowl, whisk the yolks, sugar, coffee liqueur, and a pinch of salt. Place the bowl over the pot of boiling water (double boiler) but do not let it touch. Whisk until fluffy, about 6-7 minutes.
  • Cool the yolk mixture over the bowl of ice, stirring occasionally.
  • Meanwhile, beat the mascarpone cheese with the whipping cream. Gently fold the mascarpone mixture into the yolk mixture. Keep it cold.
  • Divide the prepared cake into three equal rectangles. Place one piece in a pyrex of the same size.
  • Brush the first layer with 1/3 of the hot espresso.
  • Put almost half of the cream mixture on top of the cake and sprinkle with 1/3 of the grated chocolate.
  • Repeat the previous steps with another layer of cake and cover the last layer of cake with coffee, a thin layer of the mascarpone mixture, and the rest of the grated chocolate.
  • Refrigerate for many hours (or overnight) before serving.
