DRUM CAKE

Ingredients:

- 8 eggs
- 150g of sugar
- 200g of flour
- and 4 tablespoons of sugar

Filling:

- 6 eggs
- 250g of butter
- 4 to 5 bars of chocolate for cooking

Icing:

- 24 tablespoons of sugar
- a little butter

Preparation:

Whisk 8 egg yolks with 150g of sugar. Add 200g of flour and gently stir with a spoon. In a separate vessel beat 8 egg whites gradually adding 4 tablespoons of sugar and beating for another 10min. Mix this with egg yolks to combine and stir gently. Bake 8 to 9 layers from this mixture. Turn the baking pan upside down and bake the cake layers on a greased surface of the pan lined with a circle of baking parchment. 
Filling - beat 300g of sugar with 6 egg yolks, add 250g of butter and beat until light and fluffy. Finally, melt 4 to 5 bars of chocolate for cooking and add it to the previous mixture. 
Spread the filling over each cake layer and top the last layer with melted sugar.
How to prepare melted sugar: melt 24tbsp of sugar on low heat. We don`t want the icing to crack after cutting so we add just a little bit of butter after the sugar is melted. Mix it well. 
Top this icing quickly over the warm cake and use the warm knife to mark the pieces on the icing so that the cake can be easily cut after it cools down.
