Go to Edeka to buy cake ingredients.

Select chocolate cake mix and icing ingredients.

Return home to start baking the cake.

Measure 200 grams of cream and add it to a mixing bowl.

Crack 3 eggs into the bowl and add them to the mixture.

Mix the cake batter, being careful not to overmix to avoid activating gluten.

Preheat the oven while preparing the baking pan.

Fill the baking pan with the batter, making sure to grease it with butter and line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Fold the parchment paper to create a perfect circle for the bottom of the pan.

Cut the parchment paper and place it in the pan, then add butter to ensure it doesn't stick.
