For 10 portions

Ingredients

80 g all-purpose flour
20 g cocoa
3 egg yolks
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
55 g granulated sugar
1/4 tsp salt
50 g vegetable oil
100 g milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 egg whites
60 g granulated sugar
1/2 tsp lemon juice

Ingredients for the cream:

300 g water
40 g cornstarch
350 g milk
200 g granulated sugar
50 g cocoa
1 tsp agar powder
150 g butter

Preparation procedure

Preparation of the base: In a bowl, beat the egg yolks with 55 g of sugar until foamy, add the oil, milk, salt and vanilla extract. Add the sifted flour with cocoa, baking soda and baking powder and mix into a smooth batter. Whip the egg whites, lemon juice and 60 g of sugar into stiff peaks, then gently fold them into the cocoa mixture. Pour into a cake pan, tap the pan on the table a few times and bake in an oven preheated to 160 °C for about 40–50 minutes. After baking, let the cake base cool completely.
Preparation of the cream: Dissolve the cornstarch in 300 g of water. In a saucepan, heat the sugar, cocoa and milk and add the agar. Stir until the agar dissolves, then slowly pour in the starch mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. Finally, stir in the butter and let it cool partially.
Assembling the cake: Cut the cooled cake base into 3 layers, trimming the top if necessary. Spread some of the cream on the bottom layer, top with the second layer, spread again and finish with the third layer. Coat the top and sides with the remaining cream. Refrigerate to set for at least 3 hours. Then remove the plastic wrap, finish smoothing the cake and serve.
