I made a plain version, so I tried making a chocolate version as well ( O ).

In Step 7, I used Miyaki's © mixing technique fromas a reference; using a hand mixer to mix the flour after adding it in is extremely easy to do . It might be better to use heavy cream that has 30~35% milk fat . It solidifies easily when chocolate is added. For 27x27 cm [10.6x10.6 in] or 30x3cm cake pa. Recipe by Rearea cheese
