I hope you agree with my praises for this recipe - let's start preparing the chocolate cake)

I would like to point out right away that I really recommend the chocolate custard used for this sponge cake, and here’s why: they are simply made for each other! But if you like a thicker butter version, you can always “dilute” the custard with an additional portion of butter and chocolate. Or even make condensed butter cream – it will also be very tasty)

  • sugar – 250 gr.,
  • cocoa – 130 gr.,
  • baking powder – 11 g.,

Pour in 500 ml of milk (you can use cream) and cook very quickly - 5 minutes and it’s done), I added half a bar of chocolate (I directly threw the pieces into the hot pudding) when the pudding was already cooked. Mix the chocolate pudding mixture and leave it to cool under the lid in the same container that you used to cook it. Then I added 250 grams of soft butter and beat it with the pudding into a cream. This simple and very tasty cream turns out to be, by the way, naturally custard to taste)))
