   ***Preparation***

   ***Sponge cake layers:***

   1. Beat the egg yolks with condensed milk and melted unsalted butter.
   2. Add sifted flour with salt and baking powder, mix. Knead a not very thick dough.
   3. Draw an 18-cm circle on the parchment paper. Flip the parchment upside down. Pour half of the batter into the middle of the circle and spread into a thin layer. Bake for about 7 minutes(180C), or until the middle is baked through. Repeat the process for the second cake layer.
   4. Cool the cakes.

   ***Soufflé:***

   1. Soak the agar-agar in water (150g).
   2. Take condensed milk and butter out of the refrigerator and let it stand at room temperature.
   3. Beat the condensed milk with the butter and vanilla extract to a smooth paste, and set aside in the bowl at room temperature.
   4. Begin to beat the egg whites until firm and shiny meringue is obtained.
   5. Bring the agar-agar to a boil over medium heat.
   6. Pour the sugar into the agar-agar and boil until ready. Bring mixture to the temperature of 110C. Check if the syrup is ready using the “thread” method. A thin thread should hang from a spoon dipped in the syrup.
   7. Pour hot syrup into the egg whites in a thin stream, beating constantly. The paste will immediately grow several times bigger.
   8. Beat to a thick consistency. Agar-agar will thicken as it cools.
   9. Add the butter and condensed milk mixture, and once again mix on a low speed to smooth paste.The soufflé is ready!

   ***Assemble the cake:***

   1. Put the first cake layer into the center of a 20-cm cake ring.
   2. Immediately pour half of the soufflé onto the first cake layer. Spread evenly to fill all the gaps.
   3. Place the second cake layer onto the soufflé.
   4. Pour the entire second half of the soufflé into the cake ring and smooth the top with a palette knife.
   5. Put it in the refrigerator to chill.

   ***Dark Chocolate Glaze:***

   1. Melt the chocolate and heavy cream in a double boiler. Stir.
   2. Take the cake from the fridge and remove the cake ring.
   3. Pour the glaze onto the chilled cake. Tilting the cake, distribute the glaze on all surfaces.You can leave a round space in the middle.
   4. Put it in the refrigerator to chill.
   5. Decorate with buttercream swirls, micro flowers and greens.
