Porsche crest cake

Ingredients

For the base

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the chocolate filling

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup dark chocolate pieces

For the decoration

• 1/2 cup icing
• Red and black food coloring
• Aluminum foil

Step-by-step preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 350 °F (175 °C) and line a 9-inch tart pan with aluminum foil.
2. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until smooth and creamy.
3. Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat well to combine.
4. Add the flour and salt and mix until a soft dough forms.
5. Press the dough into the bottom of the lined pan and bake in the preheated oven for about 25–30 minutes, until the base is golden and firm to the touch.
6. Meanwhile, make the chocolate filling. Heat the cream in a saucepan over medium heat until hot but not boiling. Remove from the heat, add the chocolate pieces and stir until melted and smooth.
7. Pour the chocolate filling over the cooled base and let it set for about 30 minutes.
8. While the tart cools, make the icing: mix it with a few drops of black food coloring until dark gray.
9. Remove the tart from the pan and place it on a cake board. Using a sharp knife, cut two triangles from the top of the tart to create the shape of the Porsche crest.
10. Use a brush to paint the cut areas with red food coloring to create the Porsche logo. Then use a piping bag with a small tip to add more detail around the crest.
11. Let the icing dry for a few minutes before serving.
