Start with the flourless chocolate cake, that's made from egg, butter, chocolate, and sugar!!!
Top with chocolate cream, which adds a creamy texture to our cake.
Cover with rich chocolate sauce and finish with a thick layer of cocoa powder to level up the bitterness.
The taste of this cake will depend on the chocolate that you use. If you love the bitter taste of chocolate, I suggest 70% but for many people, 57-60% is quite good.
If you want the cocoa powder to stay beautiful, sprinkle it over the cake just before serving.
We have so many problems in Thailand ^^", but I hope that everything will be better soon.
