MAKE THE CAKE:

inch round cake pan with melted butter, dust with flour
and put aside in a cool place. Mix the sugar and
the softened butter,
adding one pinch of
salt and then one red egg after the other. Keep away
the white portion of eggs (dont throw away it!) Stir
until the batter is soft and clear. At
this point, mix the baking powder to the
flour and cocoa powder and start sifting this mixture
into the batter. Add the heavy cream
and milk. Mix well, until the batter comes easily
off the spoon. If necessary, add some milk or
flour to reach the right consistency. Beat
(shake) white eggs until you are a white soft but firm
mass (like snow !). Mix gently beat eggs with the batter
Pour the batter
into the pan and bake it in preheated oven for 20-30
minutes (180 °C -
350 F). To make sure that the cake is thouroughlly
baked, insert toothpick: if the
toothpick comes out dry, the cake is ready. Cool
off, turn into a platter and wait until cake is cool.

DECORATION:

cooking paper some irregular spots and put the paper
spots on the cake. Dust the top with confectione's sugar,
remove the paper spots and enjoy! This cake is at best
