What is better than chocolate? Three types of chocolate. The cake consists of a thin layer of sponge and three light fillings using the chocolates from the BAM collection: dark, milk and white. True, it may seem like a lot of chocolate at first, but I composed the recipe to my own liking and adjusted the quantities so that the cake is not too sweet. If you want a sweeter cake, increase the amount of chocolate slightly.
You can also exchange the classic Sacher cake for a BAM chocolate cake.
Makes: 8 slices.

Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F). Beat the eggs and sugar at maximum speed for 10 minutes. Sift the cocoa and flour on top of the egg mixture and gently fold in with a spatula. Spread the batter evenly in an 18 cm cake pan lined with parchment paper (the bottom), and bake for 15 minutes. Take the baked sponge cake out of the baking tray and cool it on a cooling rack.
- While the sponge is cooling, prepare the sugar solution and fillings (dark, milk and then white). Whip 450 g of whipping cream and refrigerate (150 g for each cream). Melt the dark chocolate with 50 g whipping cream in a double boiler. Soak the gelatin in cold water for 5 minutes. Melt the wrung-out gelatin in the warm chocolate and cool until lukewarm. Fold in 150 g whipped cream with a spatula. Place the sponge on a stand and fit the ring. Moisten with cocoa and spread on the filling. Level out the surface and refrigerate to set.
- While the first layer of filling is cooling, prepare the milk chocolate filling using the same method. Spread it evenly over the dark chocolate filling, level out the surface and refrigerate to set. Prepare the white chocolate filling in the same manner and refrigerate the cake to set the fillings.
- Remove the ring from the cooled cake and decorate as desired.
