  • 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

  1. Whisk the eggs and half the sugar until thick and pale, then fold in the flour to make a light sponge batter.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Spread any remaining buttercream around the sides, chill briefly, and serve in a thin slice.
