  • Piping bag
  • Butter paper
  • Otg/oven
  • Microwave

Instructions

Method for sponge:

  1. Preheat the oven at 180 (otg mode: upper rod + lower rod + fan). Grease and line two 6-inch aluminium tins with oil and butter paper.
  2. Now sieve all the dry ingredients in a bowl, ie. Flour, sugar, cocoa powder and salt. 
  3. In another bowl, collect all the liquid ingredients, i.e., milk, vinegar, oil and vanilla essence. 
  4. Now mix dry ingredients into liquid ingredients gradually and form a batter.  

  5. Pour the batter equally into two 6-inch greased tins and bake it at 180c (otg mode: lower rod only) for 35 -40 mins until the toothpick comes out clean.  

Method for Soaking Syrup:

  1. Mix all the ingredients to make syrup.

 

Method for Mousse:

  1. Melt the chocolate in the microwave.
  2. Warm cream and coffee together in the microwave.
  3. Mix the cream and melted chocolate together to get a smooth ganache.
  4. Beat whipping cream till you get soft peaks. Now, fold the ganache into the whipping cream to make the mousse. 

Method for Roasted Almond Flakes:

  1. Take a baking tray lined with a silicon mat.
  2. Spread some almond flakes on the mat and bake them in the oven at 200C (preheating mode) for 5-8 minutes or until they turn golden brown.

Assembly

  1. Demould the cake and divide them into two layers.
  2. Take the cake board on the turntable and put some mousse on the centre of the board.
  3. Place a layer of the sponge and soak it with the soaking syrup.
  4. Now, pipe the mousse and smooth it out with the help of a palette knife.

  5. Place a 2nd layer of sponge and repeat the same process as above with the remaining sponge layers.
  6. Now, pipe a thin layer of mousse on top and the sides of the cake to crumb coat it. Let it set in the fridge for 15-20 minutes.
  7. Now, frost the cake properly from the top and sides.
  8. To decorate it, stick the roasted almond flakes on the sides.
  9. Lastly, give a wavy pattern with a serrated knife on the top and place coffee beans randomly.

Notes

  • Do not overbake the sponge, as that will make the cake chewy and may have a burnt taste.
  • You may use milk compound chocolate in place of couverture.
  • If you like a more dense chocolatey flavour, you can use dark couverture /compound in the mousse. It will change the flavour and colour (overall look of the cake) as per dark chocolate.
  • You can skip adding rum to soaking syrup if you do not wish to use alcohol. Or, you can use a few drops of rum essence too.
  • Use the whipping cream cold, but ensure it has been thawed well from the freezer. It should be beaten in cold bowls, and after a few minutes of beating, the cream starts to form peaks.
  • Once peaks appear, tilt the bowl to check if there is no loose cream left and if it’s all beaten. Do not over-beat the cream as then the cream may appear grainy.
  • When adding ganache to whipped cream, it should be very lightly warm. Since whipped cream is cold, it may seize the chocolate into small grains if the ganache is not warm.

“I achieved 10% of my short-term manifestation before my target date”
Before this program I knew a little about manifestations, but as I discovered during the program, I had a lot of limiting beliefs that kept me from fully embracing and accepting myself as a manifestor.
During this program I became more aware of what manifestation is and how powerful I am. I become more aware of my guides, of my highest self and that I can pull the best of my highest self into my present. Since this program I no longer wrestle with trying to convince myself that what I desire will happen. I know that it has happened, it is done and it is mine, here and now. I achieved 10% of my short-term manifestation before my target date, my eyesight has improved and I no longer need glasses for distance vision, only for reading, I gave myself a make-over as part of my commitment to my renewal and I began to de-clutter my space.

“My professional and personal life has seen significant positive changes”
Joining “The Art of Manifesting” was a life-changing decision for me. This is now the third time going through the quest and focusing on different areas of manifestation.
Regan is a powerful guide and she walks the talk.
This 28-day journey was a blend of practical techniques and profound energetical activations. I learned to visualize my goals clearly, expand my possibilities, and overcome the limitations holding me back from living a life i desire. The quest’s unique approach to identity hacking helped me align my inner self with my aspirations, making the manifestation process more effective and authentic.
The biggest takeaway for me was the acceleration of manifestation by bending time and tapping into the highest frequencies. The techniques taught in the quest enabled me to see results much faster than I expected. My professional and personal life has seen significant positive changes, and goals that once seemed unattainable are now within reach.
I’m beyond grateful for the wisdom and tools I’ve gained from this quest and Regan. It’s not just about manifesting; it’s about transforming your entire lifestyle. I highly recommend “The Art of Manifesting” to anyone looking to turn their dreams into reality.

“This course and listening to Regan’s podcasts gave me the tools to acknowledge my blocks and mindsets around drinking”
I have so enjoyed this journey with Regan, I am a new person as a result of this quest. I now have new beliefs & mindsets that I keep working on daily, hourly. A kinder and more compassionate version of me has emerged over this journey, and I love her!
This quest has resulted in me finding the lost me, the me that has been hidden under the voices of doubt, fear or just lack of awareness that I get to run my life not the other voices in my head or family and people around me. When we wire ourselves to the future version of us, then we make different choices and we are already a different person!
Thank you Regan, thank you Mindvalley, thank you tribe!!!! ❤❤, I love you all and wish you a magical Christmas and hope our paths may cross one day at Mindvalley events.

“My family’s net income unexpectedly increased while I was taking the quest”
Before taking this Quest I believed that the prerequisites of success were hard work, long hours, timing and a degree of luck; “1% inspiration and 99% perspiration” was my mantra. Trying to achieve success with this mindset was exhausting, frustrating and unsustainable.

 

I then discovered The Art of Manifesting … and was blown away.

 

The foundational teaching of focusing on your inner world to achieve has been transformative in the way I live my life. I now know that cultivating the feeling of already being in possession of that which you want, accelerates the manifestation of what you desire.

 

My family’s net income unexpectedly increased while I was taking the quest, and have discovered a path to manifest greater abundance in the year to come. But perhaps the biggest shift I experienced during this quest now knowing that I am worthy and deserving of abundance. Regan, I am eternally grateful to you, thank you :-)

“Now, my manifestation is showing up right before my eyes in ways I hadn’t even considered”
Before this program, I believed somewhat in manifestation but never knew how to do it, or if it was real, and the little bit I did know ended up being completely wrong! This Quest has not only taught me how to manifest and put me on the path to doing it the right way, but I was actually able to manifest what I had set at the beginning.
I never thought it would actually come true, but I committed myself to the process and gave it 100% every day. And now, my manifestation is showing up right before my eyes in ways I hadn’t even considered. It’s truly blowing my mind.
I had a financial goal for the end of the Quest, and different opportunities for selling my artwork started coming up, and the deals are coming out almost to the exact number I had set.
Not only that, but I have truly transformed into a better version of myself in these short weeks, more than I had in the last few years, that my spouse has even noticed.
I’m so excited for what’s to come next and so grateful for this program. Thank you.

“I have written a 50,000-word book, that is now in design”
I joined Mindvalley on New Year’s 2023. I am excited to share how life has significantly changed in the first 90 days of the year. Beginning with the Silva Method, I envisioned and transformed a dysfunctional personal relationship, into a loving, caring separation, allowing me the peace and serenity to follow my path, and my partner to choose his. In February while on the Art of Manifesting Quest I listed my intent to have a book written by May 2023, and have a speaking engagement booked by December 2023.
I have written a 50,000-word book, that is now in design, and a journal for Women seeking a deeper connection with themselves, also in design. Both will be uploaded via KDP Amazon self-publishing by May 1st.
I have booked a speaking engagement for May with the intent of having published books with me for sale.
Most importantly – this morning I changed my profile from ‘Document writer’ to ‘Author.’
Gratitude abounds!!!
