Base recipe:

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. You'll need two baking sheets. Grease them with butter and lightly dust them with flour.
  2. Break the eggs into a bowl, pour in the condensed milk, add salt and beat the mixture with a whisk.
  3. Mix the baking powder with the sifted flour and add it to the egg mixture. Mix thoroughly.
  4. Spread the resulting batter onto the baking sheets to form rectangles. The batter should be the consistency of pancake batter or slightly thinner. The thickness of the spread batter should be approximately 4-6 mm.
  5. Place both baking sheets in the oven for 15-20 minutes. Keep an eye on the cake layers—as soon as they're golden, carefully open the oven and check for doneness with a toothpick. To do this, insert it into the cake layer in several places. If there's no batter left when you pull it out, the base is ready!
  6. Once the pastry is done, remove it and let it cool. Then, cut each base into two or four pieces (depending on how wide and tall you want your dessert) and carefully remove each piece from the baking sheet.

Cream recipe:

  1. Place softened butter and boiled condensed milk in a mixing bowl.
  2. Beat the butter with condensed milk at medium speed with a mixer for about 7 minutes, until the cream becomes smooth and slightly fluffy.

Assembling the cake

Design and decoration:

  1. Place the first layer of cake on a cake plate. Spread the frosting generously over it. Place the next layer of the base on top of the frosting, and then repeat the process with the frosting.
  2. Lay out the remaining cake layers in the same manner. The top layer should be cream. The last, unfinished or broken cake layer can be crumbled in a blender and then sprinkled over the top and sides of the cake. Any remaining crust in the pan can also be used for sprinkling.
  3. Grate the chocolate on a medium grater or finely chop it. Sprinkle the prepared chocolate chips or crumbs over the top of the cake. You can substitute nut crumbs or coconut flakes for the chocolate if desired.
  4. The cake will be even more delicious if it sits for a while. However, if you don't have time to let it sit, you can lightly soak the layers with jam or compote (simply brush each layer with a silicone brush). This way, your layers won't be dry, and the cake will turn out amazing!

If you don't have any boiled condensed milk at home, but you do have sour cream in the fridge, you can substitute the cream with sour cream. To do this, beat the sour cream with sugar or regular condensed milk, to taste. Optionally, add vanilla, and then coat the base as in the recipe. In this case, you don't need to soak the cake layers; the cake will be moist without any additional preparation. Enjoy!
