Ingredients

Biscuit Ingredients

6 large eggs
1 cup vegetable oil (without aroma)
1 cup sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
10 grams baking powder
1 cup boiling water

Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Biscuit

Start by preheating your oven to **180°C (350°F)**. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together **6 large eggs** and **1 cup of sugar** until fluffy. Gradually add **1 cup of vegetable oil** while continuing to mix. Make sure your mixture is smooth and homogenous.

Next, sift in **2 cups of all-purpose flour**, **3 tablespoons of cocoa powder**, and **10 grams of baking powder**. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until just combined. Finally, stir in **1 cup of boiling water** to create a batter. Be careful, as the batter will be quite liquid.

Pour the batter into a greased baking pan and bake for about **30 minutes**. Check the readiness by inserting a toothpick in the center of the biscuit. If it comes out clean, the biscuit is done. Remember not to overbake, as we want it to stay moist!

Step 2

Make the Chocolate Cream

While the biscuit is baking, it’s time to prepare your rich chocolate cream. In a saucepan, gently heat **2 cans of sweetened condensed milk** with **300 grams of milk**. Stir frequently to avoid scorching on the bottom.

As the mixture warms, add **300 grams of good quality dark chocolate** and about **40-50 grams of unsalted butter**. Continue to stir until everything is melted and blended smoothly, but do not let it boil. Your chocolate cream should be glossy and thick.

Step 3

Assemble the Cake

Once your biscuit has cooled down, carefully slice it in half horizontally to create two layers. Place the bottom layer on your serving platter and spread a generous layer of the chocolate cream over it.

Gently place the second layer of the biscuit on top and finish by spreading the remaining chocolate cream over the top and sides of the cake. For a little extra flair, feel free to decorate with chocolate shavings or fresh fruits.

Let the cake set for a bit before serving. Enjoy every bite of this rich chocolate biscuit cake!
