One serving has 459 kcal and 7 g protein, and at least a fifth of a woman's daily need of copper (32%), selenium (32%), vitamin A (31%), riboflavin (25%), choline (22%) and manganese (21%). Ready in 50 minutes.

- Preparation: 30 min
- Cooking: 20 min
- Makes: 1 serving (120 g)
- Difficulty: Hard
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: alcohol, dairy, egg, gluten
Ingredients
- 20 g Flour, all-purpose
- 30 g Eggs, whole, raw
- 28 g Sugar
- 25 g Butter, unsalted
- 6 g Cocoa powder
- 10 g Sugar, powdered
- 1 g Vanilla extract
Method
- Whisk the eggs and half the sugar until thick and pale, then fold in the flour to make a light sponge batter.
- Spread thinly on a lined tray and bake at 200 °C (400 °F) for 5-6 minutes until just set; make several thin layers this way, or bake one layer and cut it into thin rounds once cooled.
- Beat the butter with the powdered sugar, cocoa and vanilla until light and fluffy to make a chocolate buttercream, then spread it between the layers of sponge, stacking them back up.
- Melt the remaining sugar in a dry pan until it turns to a light caramel, then quickly pour it over the top layer and smooth it out before it hardens; score into portions while still warm.
- Spread any remaining buttercream around the sides, chill briefly, and serve in a thin slice.
