This classic non-bake birthday cake caused a sensation in Germany, especially from the 1950s to the 1970s. This cake is mostly known by the name "Kalter Hund / Cold Dog". However, some also know it as “Cold Snout” or "Cellar Cake". This cake is said to have its origin in the 1920s, when a well-known German biscuit manufacturer published the recipe of a cold chocolate cake from his so-called "cakes", i.e. his shortbread biscuits, as an advertising measure. Many people know this cake from grandmother's time with baking cocoa powder, coconut fat and sometimes eggs. We present the noble variant with two types of couverture and cream.
