in a low heat mix all together while the butter melted and mixture starts bubbling.


 Take off the stove top the mixture and add cacao

Add flour. It will be sticky dough

On floured table divide the dough into 6 peaces 
(If you want you can divide into more peaces, I divided into 6 and after baking I cut each one in half. In fact there were 12 layers)

Roll each peace rectangular shape  (15x10 inch)



Bake each rolled dough 6 minutes



Add the room temperature butter and vanilla to the Custard Cream

Mix with mixer



Cream each layer with Chocolate Custard Cream



melt the chocolate chips and corn oil using water bath and glaze the top and sides of the  cake



Freeze for 15-20 minutes.

Note: If you want the cake to be moist and soft, keep the cake in room temperature for an hour.
The rest of the cake keep covered and refrigerated.
