* PREPARATION OF THE CAKE
* Prepare a buttermilk, for that we must mix the milk with the lemon juice.
* Combine the eggs and sugar separately in a bowl, cream with the mixer until it has a creamy consistency and then add the oil little by little.
* When the mixture looks homogeneous, add the essence and continue beating.
* Combine the previously sifted dry ingredients: flour, cocoa and baking powder.
* Little by little add the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the mixture, alternating them with each other and then beat until you obtain a smooth mixture without lumps.
* Add 100 g of melted chocolate.
* Pour the mixture into two previously greased 20 cm molds with waxed paper on the bottom.
* Bake at 160°C for approx. 45 minutes.
* ARMED
* Once both cakes are ready, place the first one and fill it with the chocolate cream.
* When the cream has expanded evenly, proceed to place the other cake on top.
* Finally, cover the entire cake with the chocolate cream.
* TRONCHA TORO CREAM
* Place all the previously blended or beaten ingredients in a pot (strain to avoid lumps).
* Bring to medium heat, mixing with a paddle or hand mixer until it has the consistency of thick cream.
