- Preparation: 45 min
- Cooking: 30 min
- Makes: 1 serving (132 g)
- Difficulty: Hard
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: alcohol, dairy, egg, gluten
Ingredients
- 25 g Flour, all-purpose
- 25 g Butter, unsalted
- 20 g Sugar
- 22 g Eggs, whole, raw
- 1 g Baking powder
- 15 g Milk, whole

Method
- Makes 1 slice; multiply the ingredients by 12 for a whole cake traditionally baked in 6 thin layers. Cream half the butter with the sugar until fluffy, beat in the eggs, then fold in the flour and baking powder.
- Spread thinly in a lined tin and bake at 180 °C (355 °F) for 8-10 minutes per thin layer, repeating with the batter in batches to build up the full stack of layers; cool completely.
- Make the custard: whisk the egg yolk with a little sugar and the cornstarch, pour on the hot milk, return to the pan and cook, whisking, until thick; stir in the vanilla and cool.
- Beat the remaining butter until fluffy, then beat in the cocoa powder and the cooled custard to make a smooth chocolate buttercream.
- Sandwich the sponge layers together with the chocolate buttercream, then spread a thin layer over the top and sides.
- Melt the chocolate and pour it over the top as a smooth, even glaze.
- Chill until the glaze sets, then cut a slice with a warm knife.
