Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer or whisk
  • Cake mold
  • Spatula
  • Cooling rack

Ingredients

  • 5 eggs
  • 5 tbsp sugar
  • 5 tbsp flour
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp bitter cocoa powder
  • 1 sachet yeast (about 1 tsp)
  • Butter to grease the pan
  • 200 g cold heavy cream
  • 4 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 3 drops vanilla essence (optional)

Instructions

  • Start by whipping up the chocolate cream filling. Beat the cold heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form, then add cocoa powder and vanilla essence.
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease the cake mold with butter. Whisk the eggs and sugar together until pale and foamy.
  • Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, bitter cocoa, and yeast, folding gently to incorporate. Pour the batter into the prepared mold and bake for 20–25 minutes.
  • Let the cake cool completely before slicing it horizontally into two layers.
  • Spread the chilled chocolate cream over the bottom layer, then place the top layer back on. Frost the outside with more cream, if desired.

Notes

To enhance flavor, let the assembled cake rest in the fridge for an hour before slicing. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. For longer storage, freeze individual slices for up to one month. Use high-quality cocoa powder for a richer flavor.
