🍴 Chocolate custard cake, the recipe for which I will tell you in detail today, is a surprisingly tasty combination of air chocolate layers made of sponge on egg whites and a delicate custard cream.

In addition to nuts, dried fruits can be used to layer the cake, prunes or dried apricots are best suited.

Note that during the preparation of the cream, the custard base and butter should be approximately the same temperature, otherwise the cream may flake. on 🍲 Niftyrecipe.com
