Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla sugar for 6-8 minutes until frothy.
  3. Mix together the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder, then fold into the egg mixture. Stir in the milk briefly.
  4. Pour into a prepared baking pan and bake for about 25 minutes. Let cool completely.
Making the Cream
  1. Melt and cool the milk chocolate.
  2. Beat the mascarpone with powdered sugar until smooth, then stir in the melted chocolate.
  3. Whip the heavy cream with whipped cream stabilizer until stiff and fold into the mascarpone mixture.
Assembling the Cake
  1. Cut the cooled cake horizontally into three even layers.
  2. Place the first layer on a serving plate, spread half of the cream on top, add the second layer, and spread the remaining cream on it, then top with the third layer.
Making the Ganache
  1. Heat the cream, add the chopped dark chocolate, let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  2. Spread the ganache over the top layer and sprinkle with chocolate shavings.
Chilling and Serving
  1. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, then cut into even slices and serve.

Notes

For the lightest cream, ensure that your heavy cream is very cold before whipping it. Use high-quality chocolate for both the cream and ganache for the best flavor. Consider adding a splash of espresso for a richer taste. Store slices in an airtight container in the fridge for freshness.
