🍰 Chocolate Cake Layer

Preheat the oven to 170°C.
Line and grease a 25–30 cm pan.
Separate 4 egg yolks and 4 egg whites. Keep the whites cold in the fridge.

Mix 4 egg yolks with 50 g sugar and a pinch of salt.
Add 70 g warm milk and 45 g oil, and mix gently.
Sift in 120 g flour, 30 g cocoa powder, 2 tsp baking powder, and 1 tsp vanilla in two stages.
Mix until smooth.

Meringue:
Beat the 4 egg whites until foamy.
Add 70 g sugar in three additions.
Beat to stiff peaks.

Final mixing:
Add the meringue to the yolk mixture in three stages.
First addition: loosen the batter.
Second & third additions: fold gently to avoid deflating.

Baking:
Pour into the pan and bake 30–35 minutes at 165–170°C.
Cool 5 minutes in the pan, then cool completely on a rack.
Once cooled, grind the cake and sift it.
(You may replace this step with ready‑made chocolate cake powder.)

🍳 Cooking the Crepes

Heat a 25 cm pan until hot.
Lightly grease (no excess oil).
Reduce heat to low and pour the batter in the center.
Swirl to spread evenly.
Keep the crepe thin and avoid letting it climb the sides.
Cook 2 minutes on the first side, 30 seconds on the second.
Let cool, then fill immediately so they don’t become rubbery.
