  • The cake has three parts: the choux pastry base, a cream filling, and a chocolate glaze. 1. For the pastry, add the sugar and softened butter to the milk and bring to a boil. Add the flour, then beat in the eggs, mixing quickly; once it gathers into a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pot, the dough is ready. 2. Transfer the dough to a piping bag and pipe lengths onto a baking sheet; bake in a medium oven for 15 minutes. 3. Pour the milk into a saucepan and set it over the heat; once it boils, add the cocoa and sugar. Stir and add the flour. When the cream has cooled a little, beat in the remaining butter. 4. Melt the chocolate over a water bath and start assembling the cake. 5. Dip each pastry finger in the cream and stack them in layers on a dish, then decorate the top with chocolate. Refrigerate overnight to soak, and the next day your dessert is ready!
