Ingredients

For the chocolate sponge:

  • 2 eggs

  • 15 g sugar

  • 100 ml vegetable oil

  • 200 ml milk (room temperature)

  • 250 g all-purpose flour

  • 60 g cocoa powder

  • 10 g baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda (optional)

Pan size: 30 × 22 cm


For the chocolate cream filling:

  • 280 ml condensed milk

  • 200 g chocolate

  • 300 ml heavy cream (unsweetened)


For soaking the sponge:

  • 150 ml hot milk

  • 30 g chocolate

  • 1 tablespoon condensed milk


For decoration (optional):

  • Crushed sponge cake crumbs

  • Candy sprinkles

  • Feuilletine or crushed biscuits


Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the chocolate sponge

In a bowl, beat the eggs with sugar until the mixture becomes pale. Add the oil gradually while mixing, then add the milk.

In a separate bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients and mix gently. Add the lemon juice mixed with baking soda if using.

Line the baking pan with parchment paper, pour in the batter, and smooth the surface.

Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 25–30 minutes. Let cool completely.


2. Prepare the chocolate cream

In a saucepan, heat the condensed milk with chocolate over very low heat, stirring until melted.

Add the heavy cream and bring gently to a boil. Remove from heat and cool the mixture quickly by placing the bowl over ice water.


3. Prepare the soaking syrup

Mix the hot milk with chocolate until melted. Add the condensed milk and stir well.


4. Assemble the dessert

Trim the edges of the sponge cake. Cut it horizontally into two equal layers.

Soak the first layer generously with the chocolate milk mixture. Spread a layer of chocolate cream evenly on top.

Place the second sponge layer on top, soak it, and cover the entire dessert with the remaining chocolate cream.


5. Decorate and chill

Use crushed sponge cake crumbs and feuilletine to decorate the sides and top. Add candy sprinkles if desired.

Refrigerate for at least 5 hours (overnight is even better) to allow the dessert to set properly.


6. Slice and serve

Cut into neat squares using a clean knife, wiping the blade between cuts for a clean finish.


Tips for Best Results

  • Always cool the sponge before assembling

  • Chill long enough for clean slices

  • Use low heat when melting chocolate

  • The longer it chills, the better the texture
