- Pour 110 g of flour, 15 g of cocoa powder and 1.5 tsp into a sieve. baking powder. Sift the dry mixture into the egg mass in 2-3 approaches, each time gently knead with a spatula or spoon. The dough should not fall and should come out airy and light.

- Now let's prepare the custard. Pour 0.5 liters of milk into a saucepan and put on fire.
- While the milk is boiling, prepare the rest of the cream. Pour 2 yolks into a bowl and start beating with a mixer. Gradually add sugar and vanilla sugar to the yolks and beat until whitened and the mass increases in volume. Pour starch (potato or corn) into the yolk mixture and add 3 tbsp. flour.

- Cooking chocolate icing for the cake. Put 100 g of dark or milk chocolate broken into pieces in a bowl and add 70 g of butter to it. We put everything in a water bath and drown from time to time stirring. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate and make sure that no water or condensation gets into it. When most of the chocolate has melted, remove it from the water bath and continue stirring until the chocolate and butter are completely melted.
- We let the chocolate icing cool to about 25 degrees so that it is not very pouring. Pour the slightly cooled icing on top of the cake with a spoon.
