Instructions

1. For the dough, stir together the sugar and eggs until frothy. Add butter and stir. Add the vanilla sugar. Mix the flour and baking powder, pour into the mixture through a sieve and stir. Weigh in the cocoa powder and continue to stir.
2. Heat the milk or whipped cream in a saucepan and melt the chocolate (I always use 100 g whole milk and 100 g dark chocolate) in it. Add the melted chocolate to the batter and stir well. Place the dough on a small baking sheet or in a loaf pan (greased or lined with baking paper).
3. Bake in a hot oven at 180 ° C top / bottom heat (approx. 160 ° C hot air) on the middle rack for approx. 20 - 30 minutes, depending on the oven and shape. Take out the cake and let it cool down
4. For the glaze, prepare 200 g chocolate or couverture and 70 ml milk or whipped cream as above and pour over the cake. Smooth everything out nicely and let it cool down.
5. Shape biscuits as a fence for the construction site decoration. Chop the duplos and fill the fences. Filling small construction site vehicles with Smarties. Halve the children`s bars and stack them.
6. The construction site can be designed according to your own interests. I baked this cake with my little niece. That`s why he`s a little crooked, but individual.
