How to Make Filling Chocolate Cake

Ingredients:

250 g chocolate
180 g butter
375 g powdered sugar
3 eggs
200 g flour
40 g bitter cocoa
250 ml hot water
100 g soft butter for filling
100 g dulce de leche
100 g chocolate melted in a water bath
100 g whipped cream
2 tablespoons instant coffee
Bitter cocoa for sprinkling

Directions:

Melt the chocolate with the butter in a double boiler, ensuring the water does not touch the container. Place in a bowl and add the sugar, eggs (one at a time), flour, and cocoa, mixing gradually. Add the hot water and incorporate well.
Pour into a greased mold dusted with bitter cocoa and bake in the oven for about half an hour, checking doneness by shaking the mold; it should remain still if done. Let cool and unmold.
For the filling, mix all the filling ingredients gently until a cream forms.
Cut the cake in half or into three layers as desired and fill with the prepared cream.
Place the cake on a serving plate and cover the surface with the same cream or sprinkle with bitter cocoa. Decorate with meringues and white chocolate balls if desired.
