Preheat the oven to 180°. Grease a cake mold with butter and sprinkle with flour. Set aside. In a bowl, sift the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and baking soda. Add the sugar, salt, mix, and set aside. In another bowl, using a whisk, beat the butter with the sugar until soft, and gradually add the oil in a stream, the San Juan® eggs, vanilla, and food coloring, incorporating everything perfectly. Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cocoa) and mix slowly in a folding motion until incorporated. Pour the cake mixture into the mold and bake for 45 minutes. For the ganache, heat each of the whipping creams separately, bring to a boil, and add it to each of the chocolates; mix until the chocolate completely melts. Set aside. To assemble the cake, place one layer of cake, then form truffles by adding the dark chocolate ganache to a pastry bag and another for the white chocolate ganache, alternating them one by one. Add another layer of cake and another layer of ganache two more times, and on the last layer, finish with whipped cream, and decorate with blueberries, rosemary, and mint candies.
