Instructions
- In a medium metal mixing bowl, whisk together whipping cream, cocoa, sugar, and salt.
- Chill the mixture for 1 hour. While cream is chilling, lightly toast the blanched slivered almonds in a skillet over medium heat till golden and fragrant. Reserve.
- Take a room temperature chocolate bar and turn it so the thin edge is facing upward. Use a vegetable peeler to shave the chocolate bar into thin shavings. Shave the bar about halfway down.
- Chop the chocolate shavings into small pieces, about the same size as the slivered almonds. Reserve. If it's a hot day, store them in the refrigerator to keep them from softening or melting.
- When the cream is chilled, before you take it out of the refrigerator, place your angel food cake on a serving plate.
- Slice the cake in half horizontally and remove the top half of the cake, so that you have two rings of cake.
- Run a knife around the bottom half of the cake, cutting a ring about 1/2 inch from the edge (wall) of the cake. The knife should cut in no further then 1/2 inch from the bottom of the cake.
- Cut another ring about 1/2 inch from the center edge (hole) of the cake. Again, the knife should cut in no further then 1/2 inch from the bottom of the cake.
- Scoop out the middle of the cake, between the two cut lines, to create a cavity ring all the way around the cake. Feel free to nibble on the cake pieces that you scooped out-- chef's treat. I won't tell.
- Take the chilled cream mixture out of the refrigerator. Whip it with an electric mixer till stiff peaks form and the mixture is spreadable, but still smooth.
- Fill the cavity in the angel food cake with the chocolate whipped cream to create a filling for the cake.
- Sprinkle the cream filling with a thin layer of the almonds.
- Replace the top of the cake.
- Spread the entire outside of the cake with an even layer of chocolate whipped cream.
- Sprinkle the exterior of the cake evenly with chocolate slivers and the chopped shaved chocolate pieces.
- Chill the cake for 2-3 hours before slicing and serving.
