The recipe won't take much time. 1. Preheat the oven to 160‑180 °C. 2. Prepare a cake pan by lining it with parchment paper. 3. Mix the flour with cocoa powder and salt. 4. In a separate bowl, thoroughly beat the yolks with 2/3 cup of sugar. Add vanilla and the dry mixture (step 3). 5. Gradually add the room‑temperature butter and mix with a mixer. 6. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt and the remaining sugar until airy, then gradually fold them into the batter. 7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30‑50 min (depending on the pan’s height). Check doneness with a knife. For the glaze: 1. Heat the cream over medium heat, add the chocolate and let it melt. While the cream is warm, use it as a glaze. 2. Refrigerate the cake overnight.
