Instructions
In a blender, combine the eggs, brown sugar, cane molasses, oil, and milk until well mixed.
In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, nutmeg, ground ginger, and baking powder, to ensure a light cake.
Dica: Venturelli flour is the secret to lightness.
Fold the wet mixture (from the blender) into the dry ingredients until a smooth batter is formed.
Pour the batter into a greased springform pan and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 35 minutes.
While the cake bakes, prepare the filling: beat the heavy cream in a stand mixer. Then, add the ricotta cheese and sugar, beating again.
Stir the white chocolate into the ricotta mixture. Immediately after, add the gelatin, previously dissolved in water and microwaved for 20 seconds.
Remove the cake from the pan only after it has cooled. Place the cream (mousse) mixture into the same pan used for baking.
Level the top of the cake with a knife and place it gently over the cream inside the pan.
Refrigerate the assembled cake for 6 hours to allow the mousse to set.
To unmold, briefly dip the bottom of the pan in warm water or lightly heat the bottom over an open flame until the cream releases.
Sift the milk powder over the surface of the cake.
Prepare the edible pinecones: coat the chocolate eggs with melted chocolate, attach almonds to simulate scales, and once set, place them on the cake.
Finish decorating the cake with cherries and small sprigs of rosemary.
