Ingredients & Recipe Details:
Biscuits:
(for a springform pan with a diameter of 22 cm)
4 chicken eggs
180g sugar (approx. 1 cup)
160g flour (approx. 1 cup + 1 heaping tablespoon)
3 Tablespoons Cocoa
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
A pinch of salt

Instructions:
Pour into the prepared form and bake for about 50 minutes at 165-170 degrees Celsius. Do not remove the finished sponge cake from the oven immediately. Switch off the oven and let the cake rest for another 10 minutes. Turn the cake out, remove the base and run a knife along the edge of the tin. Allow the finished cake to cool completely on a cake rack. Then wrap it in cling film and let it rest for 8-12 hours. This will make it firmer and easier to cut.

FOR THE CHOCOLATE CREAM:
300 g cream (33-35% fat) (approx. 1 ¼ cups)
350 g cream cheese (approx. 1 ½ cups)
50g powdered sugar (approx. 2 heaping tablespoons)
150 g dark chocolate (70% fat) (approx. 1 ½ standard bars)

Instructions:
Then combine the cream and chocolate. In another bowl, mix about a third of the cream with the chocolate. Beat with a mixer for 15-20 seconds. Do not beat for too long. Next, add another portion of cream to the same bowl with the chocolate mixture and then add another portion of the chocolate mixture. Mix everything well, smooth the edges with a spatula and let the cream cool briefly.

For the chocolate icing:
Melt 80–100 g of milk chocolate (approx. 1 standard bar).
Add 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.

Buttercream to decorate:
100 ml cream (33% fat) (approx. ⅖ cup)
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
7g whipped cream stabilizer (approx. 1 standard sachet)

Decorate the cake as you wish.
