Ingredients

• Sugar: 275 g
• Chicken egg: 4 pc
• Wheat flour: 100 g
• Baking powder: 1 tsp
• Cocoa powder: 40 g
• Ice cream: 500 g
• Water: 4 tbsp

Cooking steps

1. Grease a ring-shaped mold (diameter 24 cm) with oil. Whisk the eggs and 175 grams of sugar into a strong foam. Mix the flour, baking powder, and cocoa.

   Required ingredients:

   • Chicken egg: 4 pieces
   • Sugar: 275 g
   • Wheat flour: 100 g
   • Baking powder: 1 teaspoon
   • Cocoa powder: 40 g

2. Sift and gently fold into the egg mixture. Fill the mold. Bake at 180 degrees for 30 minutes. If the sponge is ready, it will spring back to its original shape when pressed with a finger.

3. Cool for 5 minutes in the mold. Remove and cool further on a rack.

4. Cut the lid with a thickness of 1 cm. Wash the mold and line it with food film. Place the biscuit and remove the crumb from the center - this will create a groove with wall thickness of about 1 cm.

5. Mix the ice cream and fill the groove. Smooth it out, cover tightly with a biscuit lid. Cover the form with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer.

6. For the chocolate sauce, heat the remaining sugar and water until the sugar is completely dissolved.

   Required ingredients:

   • Sugar: 275 g
   • Water: 4 tablespoons

7. Break the chocolate into pieces and add it to the sugar syrup in portions.

   Required ingredients:

   • Dark chocolate: 175 g

8. Then add the butter in portions, not allowing it to boil. Add the juice.

   Required ingredients:

   • Butter: 25 g
   • Orange juice: 4 tablespoons

9. Remove from the heat. If the sauce is too thick for your taste, add more juice. If the sauce is used later, reheat it over very low heat before serving.
