Method

1

Combine the eggs, sugar, butter, and honey in a saucepan and stir constantly until the sugar completely dissolves, heat for another 1-2 minutes, then add the baking soda and continue heating the mixture while stirring for 1 more minute.

2

Remove from heat and gradually fold in the flour pre-sifted with cocoa powder in 3 additions.

3

Divide the dough into portions and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

4

Roll out thinly, trim with a ring cutter, and bake for 5-6 minutes at 180°C (350°F).

5

Combine all the frosting ingredients in a mixer bowl and whip to stiff peaks.

6

Assemble the cake by spreading frosting between each layer, and reserve some of the baked layers to crush into crumbs.

7

Wrap the cake in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3 hours, then coat the outside with the crumbs.

8

For the glaze, melt the chocolate and stir in the butter until smooth, then drizzle over the cake.
