Gourmet recipes - Home made chocolate cake

Every body likes chocolate I suppose. Our gourmet nature is like that. Even people who are on strict diets prefer to eat the dish that is tastier than one which is not. From my book of gourmet recipes this time I selected a chocolate cake that is not supposed to be eaten by people who are on a diet.
(more of my cake gourmet recipes)

1st layer:

3 eggs
150 g sugar
100 g flour
0.1 g vanilla

2nd layer:


3 eggs
150 g sugar
90 g flour
15 g powdered cocoa
0.1 g vanilla

For the cream:

90 g natural chocolate
200 ml cream(I used “Hopla”)
200 ml none-fat milk

For the syrup:

200 ml none-fat milk

For the glaze:

90 g natural chocolate
80 g milk chocolate
8 tablespoons sugar
6 tablespoons water
30 g butter

Method of cooking:

(For one layer) Beat the whites of egg with the half of the sugar to snow. Beat the egg yolks with the other half. Mix and stir with spoon. Sift the flour in the mixture. Add vanilla and stir well. Pour in a cake pan which bottom is covered with baking paper. Bake in preheated to 180 degrees Celsius(356 degrees Fahrenheit) oven for 20 minutes(You can check whether is ready using skewer). Bake the second layer the same way as the first but mix the cocoa and the flour and sift it onto the egg mixture. Slice the layers lengthwise using thread.
Melt the chocolate in water bath. Add milk. Leave to cool down. Beat the cream using pulverizer. Add 2/3 of the mixture and stir until homogeneous.

Putting together the cake:

Put one of the halves of the white layer in the cake pan. Cover with the half of the cream. Put the other white layer and push slightly. Pour the rest of the melted chocolate. Put one of the black halves of the black layer onto the others. Pour the half of the milk over the cake. Put the rest of the creame. Put the last half of layer above. Pour the rest milk. Leave the cake aside covered for 12 hours so the layers will not dry. Put the glaze.

For the glaze:

Melt the chocolate in water bath. Add butter and the boiled mixture of water and sugar. Stir until homogeneous mixture is obtained. Pour in the middle of the cake. Leave the mixture to flow along all sides of the cake. Make the surface smooth. Leave aside for a few hours so the glaze can dry. Decorate with cream spray.
