Despite the fact that there are many steps, the cake is prepared very easily. The most important thing is to soak the agar in advance, so as not to wait for it to infuse. Perhaps some will be confused by the amount of sugar in the souffle, I was personally confused, but I was afraid to reduce it, in the end the cake turned out very tasty and not at all cloying, the glaze of dark bitter chocolate played well, it sets off the sweetness of the souffle.
