INGREDIENTS

For the cake base:

130g butter (soft)

310g (1 1/2 cups) sugar

Vanilla essence

2 eggs

250g (2 cups) all-purpose flour

4g (1 tsp) cocoa powder

6g (1 tsp) baking soda

A pinch of salt

130g (1/2 cup) yogurt

130ml (1/2 cup) milk

10g (2 tsp) apple cider vinegar

For the filling:

240g (1 cup) mascarpone

110g (1/2 cup) condensed milk

160g whipped cream

For decoration:

240ml (1 cup) fresh cream

Green food coloring

Sugar pearls

Sugar candies

METHOD

1. In a mixing bowl, add the butter and sugar and mix with an electric mixer until the sugar dissolves. Add the vanilla essence and the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

2. In another bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. In a small bowl, mix the yogurt and milk. Add this to the main mixing bowl and combine.

4. Add the dry ingredients to the mixing bowl and mix with the electric mixer. Finally, add the apple cider vinegar and mix until the batter is smooth and lump-free.

5. Pour the mixture into a Christmas tree–shaped mold and level the surface. Bake at 180°C/360°F for 35 minutes.

6. Once the cake has cooled, remove it from the mold, cut it in half, and place the base layer on a tray.

7. In a bowl, mix the mascarpone and condensed milk with an electric mixer. Add the whipped cream and fold gently with a spatula.

8. Spread the cream over the base layer and cover with the second cake layer. Remove any excess cream from the sides.

9. Whip the fresh cream with an electric mixer, add the green food coloring, and mix until evenly colored.

10. Fill a piping bag with the cream and decorate the cake on all sides. Finish with sugar pearls and sugar candies.

11. Serve the cake, slice it, and enjoy.
