Preparation

Unlike other recipes, where the dough for cakes is first prepared, for the cake "Spartacus" we will prepare a cream first. We grind the eggs with flour to the maximum uniformity, and then introduce milk and condensed milk, stirring with the help of a whisk, and put it on a water bath. Warm the mass, continuing stirring, until thickened, and then remove from heat and let it cool down completely at room conditions. After that, put soft butter of room temperature into a bowl and start beating with a mixer. In the process, we add the cooked cooled cream in small portions and achieve a homogeneous, smooth texture.

Then continue the preparation of the cake "Spartacus" and make a dough for the cakes. Mix in a bowl of chicken eggs with sugar, honey and soft butter and place on a water bath. Warm the mass for seven minutes, stirring, and then add the soda and heat for another seven minutes, without stopping the stirring. After that we sift into the mixture flour, cocoa powder and baking powder and make a kneading of soft dough in texture like plasticine. We roll a ball out of it and put it in a refrigerator in the bag for one hour.

After a lapse of time, we divide the com test into seven to eight equal parts and roll each one on a separate section of the parchment, covering it with a food film. Bake cakes until ready for about three to four minutes. For this preheat the oven in advance to 180 degrees.

While hot, shift carefully the cakes to a new parchment, promazyvaya immediately their surface with cream, avoiding the edges, in order to avoid excessive razmokaniya and trimming if necessary edges.

Divide visually the cream into the required number of parts and apply each of them alternately to prepared cakes, except the top. Let the product cool in the refrigerator for several hours.

After that, melt the chocolate, mix it with cream until smooth and cover the cake "Spartacus" with the glaze. We decorate the dessert to your liking.
