Butter and flour two square or rectangular cake tins. Heat

follows: sperate the eggs and beat the yolks with sugar until thick and fluffy.
Fold in the flour. Beat the separated egg whites until stiff, fold them into the batter.
Divide the cake batter in two parts. Flavor one part with 2 heaped Tbsp

about 15 min, until the cake separates from edge. Turn out onto a
cake rack and leave to cool.

remove from the heat. Leave to cool, then spread over one of the cakes, sprinkle
with raisins and put the other cake on top.
To make the chocolate cream,
mix the milk with the beaten egg, butter, flour, sugar and cocoa. Heat slowly,
stirring, until thick. Don't let the mixture boil. Leave to cool a bit, then
spread on the top of the cake and leave to rest.
When the cream is
stiff, cut the cake into little squares and pile them up on a dish. Mix the milk
