How it's done

Cake mixture

Place the butter, sugar, vanilla sugar and salt in a bowl, mix using the whisk on a mixer. Add the eggs one at a time and continue to beat until the mixture becomes lighter in colour. Mix in the chocolate. Combine the flour, baking powder and cocoa powder, mix in. Transfer the cake mixture to the prepared tin.

Filo pastry

Carefully unfold the pastry sheets, brush with a little butter, gather the edges of the pastry sheets individually, spread on top of the cake mixture.

To bake

Approx. 35 mins. in the lower half of an oven preheated to 180 °C. Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, remove the tin frame, slide the cake onto a cooling rack and leave to cool completely. Dust with a little icing sugar.
