For the chocolate sponge cake: 240 g flour, 1 sachet of baking powder, 250 g sugar, 50 g cocoa powder, 130 ml sunflower oil, 6 eggs, 180 ml cream, 1 pinch of salt.
For the caramel: half a glass of brown sugar, a tablespoon of butter at room temperature, 2 tablespoons of cream.
For the cream filling and topping: 1 bar of dark chocolate (70%), 1 bar of white chocolate, 1 knob of butter at room temperature, 1 tub of mascarpone cheese, 2 tablespoons of cream.

- Separately separate the egg whites (reserve) from the yolks. Beat the last one with the sunflower oil and cream.
- Integrate both edits and booking.
- On the other hand, we beat the egg whites gradually incorporating the rest of the sugar until we achieve a tight and shiny meringue.
- Add the first mixture in a rolling motion.
- Pour into a round mold that we have previously floured and bake in a preheated oven for about 35 minutes at 180C. Let it cool first face up and then face down on a wire rack before unmolding.

- For the topping and filling: Heat the dark chocolate and the white chocolate in a bain-marie (play with the proportions to achieve a more or less intense coverage). Add a knob of butter and cream. Mix well. Once the chocolate has melted and incorporated with the rest of the ingredients, remove the bowl from the bain-marie and add the bowl with the mascarpone cheese. Mix until you get a cream with a homogeneous texture.
- Base: open it Biscuit in the middle and spread each of the inner parts with caramel. Then, on the bottom half, place the chocolate and mascarpone cream, reserving a portion to cover the cake.
