Form the baking grease with butter and sprinkle with flour. You can also cover the surface of the mold with parchment paper, but before that, both the form and the baking paper should be covered with a thin layer of creamy or any kind of vegetable oil.

We put in the oven for 35-40 minutes, after 20 minutes you can believe the readiness of the cake with a toothpick or a match (ideally, there should be no traces of the test).

While the cake is in the oven, you can prepare the glaze.

Chocolate cut into small pieces, three on a grater and melt in a water bath or just add them to the liquid of gelatin and cream.

The resulting mass must be homogeneous, without lumps.
