Method of preparation:
To prepare the sheets:
- In a bowl, mix the eggs with the sugar and a pinch of salt until the sugar melts.
- We gradually add the milk, oil, sodium bicarbonate mixed with vinegar and 100 g of flour, in which we also incorporated baking powder.
- Mix well, then divide the resulting dough into two equal parts.
- We add the vanilla essence and about 350 g of flour to one side, and to the other side we put the rum essence, cocoa and 300 g of flour.
- We knead both sides separately and let them rest for 15 minutes.
- Divide each dough in two and spread 2 white sheets and 2 brown sheets.
- We bake each sheet separately, on the back of a tray of the mentioned size, for 3-4 minutes, at a temperature of 180 degrees Celsius.
To prepare the cream:
- We mix the eggs with the sugar and a pinch of salt until they become foamy.
- Gradually add 100 ml of milk and flour, mixing continuously.
- Pour the remaining hot milk over the mixture, stirring continuously.
- Boil the cream over low heat until it becomes thick like a pudding.
- Melt the chocolate together with the butter, then add them to the hot cream, mixing well.
- Let the cream cool.
After the cream has cooled, we grease the sheets and assemble them, then place a weight on top of the cake and let it sit overnight before cutting it. We serve the cake sprinkled with powdered sugar on top for an even more delicious look!
