    Equipment

    • cake pan 24 cm (9-inch)

    Ingredients

    • 100 g flour
    • 30 g potato starch
    • 120 g sugar
    • 190 g bitter cocoa
    • 4 large eggs
    • 250/300 gr. strawbererrie

    For the chocolate cream:

    • 200 ml milk or cream
    • 2 egg yolks
    • 40 g sugar
    • 8 g corn flour
    • 100 g 50% dark chocolate
    • 10 g butter

    Instructions

    • In a bowl mix the eggs with the sugar, whisk until the mixture is thick and frothy (it will take about 8/10 minutes).
    • Preheat the oven to 160 °.
    • Grease and flour a 24 cm cake tin.
    • Sift the flour, starch and cocoa twice.
    • Mixing with a spatula from the bottom up, add the flour, taking care to mix it gently so as not to deflate the eggs.
    • Pour the mixture into the pan and level the surface.
    • Bake for about 30/35 minutes or until the cake is cooked (try the toothpick).
    • Let it cool in the cake tin for 10 minutes then transfer it to the wire rack.

    For the Filling:

    • Beat the eggs with the sugar and the cornstarch with the electric mixer.
    • In a saucepan, heat the milk or cream. When it is hot, pour it a little at a time into the eggs and put everything back on low heat. Cook until the cream has thickened, stirring constantly.
    • Reduce the chocolate flakes and add it to the cream, stirring until it has melted, turn off and add the butter, stirring constantly. Let it cool down.
    • Wash, dry and cut the strawberries into wedges, keeping some of them aside for decoration.
    • Cut the sponge cake in two, spread half the chocolate cream and complete with the strawberries. Overlap the other disc, spread the remaining cream and decorate with the remaining strawberries.
