Step 1
First, you need to prepare the sponge cakes. Start by melting the butter over low heat and adding milk to it. Now take a bowl for preparing the batter, add the eggs and whisk until a white foam forms. Add sugar and mix well. Then add flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, and vanilla sugar. Mix thoroughly, then pour in the previously prepared butter and milk mixture. Divide the batter into two layers, each approximately 23-25 cm in diameter. Pour the batter into baking pans lined with parchment paper. Bake in the oven at 170 degrees Celsius for 40 minutes. Remove the cakes from the pans 15 minutes after baking and let them cool for another 10 minutes until they reach room temperature.
