Steps:
- In the heatproof bowl of an electric mixer set over a saucepan of simmering water, combine the egg whites and sugar. Cook, whisking constantly, until sugar has dissolved and the mixture is warm to the touch (about 160 degrees).
- Attach bowl to the mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat the egg-white mixture on high speed until it holds stiff (but not dry) peaks. Continue beating until the mixture is fluffy and cooled, about 15 minutes.
- Switch to the paddle attachment. With the mixer on medium-low speed, add the butter several tablespoons at a time, beating well after each addition. (If the frosting appears to separate after all the butter has been added, beat on medium-high speed until smooth again, 3 to 5 minutes more.) Beat in vanilla. Beat on lowest speed to eliminate any air bubbles, about 2 minutes. Stir with a rubber spatula until frosting is smooth.
CHOCOLATE FUDGE CAKE WITH DULCE DE LECHE, CHOCOLATE FUDGE FILLING AND CHILE PEPPER SWISS MERINGUE BUTTERCREAM
Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and lightly flour three 6-inch round cake pans.
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, espresso powder and salt in a mixer bowl until well combined. Add the milk, oil, eggs and vanilla to the flour mixture and beat on medium speed until well combined. Reduce the speed to the lowest setting and carefully add 1 cup boiling water. Increase the speed to medium-high and continue to beat, about 1 minute (see Cook's Note).
- Divide the batter among the prepared cake pans and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool in the pans on a rack for 10 minutes, then turn out onto racks to cool completely.
- For the dulce de leche filling: Whisk together the dulce de leche and heavy cream until well combined and smooth.
- For the chocolate fudge filling: Combine the condensed milk, evaporated milk, cocoa powder and vanilla in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and place in the refrigerator to cool and thicken.
- For the chile pepper Swiss meringue buttercream: Meanwhile, place the egg whites, salt and 1 cup of the sugar in a heatproof mixer bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Whisk gently and constantly until the sugar is dissolved and the egg whites are hot, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat. Beat with a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment at medium-high speed until thick and cool, about 5 minutes. Beat in the butter until the buttercream comes together.
- Boil the chile peppers and remaining 3/4 cup sugar together for 10 minutes. Let the peppers cool slightly, then peel and remove the seeds. Pulse the peppers in a food processor until smooth, then press through a strainer to remove any chunks. Mix about 8 tablespoons of the pepper puree into the buttercream, or more to taste.
- To assemble: Level off the tops of the cake layers with a serrated knife. Place one layer on a cake plate and spread with the dulce de leche filling. Top with another cake layer and spread with the chocolate fudge filling. Top with the remaining cake layer and frost the outside with the chile pepper buttercream. Serve immediately or let stand at room temperature for up to 2 hours.

Tips:
- Use good quality chocolate. The quality of the chocolate you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your cake. Opt for a high-quality Swiss chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake at the right temperature. The ideal temperature for baking a Swiss chocolate cake is 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If the oven is too hot, the cake will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
- Serve the cake at room temperature. This will allow the flavors to fully develop.
Conclusion:
Swiss chocolate cake is a delicious and classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make a perfect Swiss chocolate cake that will impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give Swiss chocolate cake a try!
