- Prepare the Dough: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder, folding gently until fully combined. Spread the batter evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20 minutes or until the wafer is firm to the touch. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Make the Cream Filling: In a saucepan, whisk together the milk, flour, starch, powdered sugar, and eggs until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and stir in the softened butter and vanilla sugar. Blend with a hand mixer for a smooth consistency. Let the mixture cool to room temperature. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled pudding mixture. Cut the cooled wafer into two equal layers. Spread half of the cream over one layer, sprinkle with crumbled wafer edges, and top with the remaining cream. Smooth the top and refrigerate until set.
- Prepare the Chocolate Icing: Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chopped milk chocolate, stirring until completely melted and smooth. Allow the icing to cool slightly before pouring it over the chilled wafer cake. Spread evenly and refrigerate until the icing sets.
Slice and serve this heavenly chocolate wafer cake at your next gathering, and watch it disappear in minutes! Enjoy the perfect balance of textures and flavors in every bite.
