Grease a 26cm diameter baking tin with cold butter on the bottom and sides.

Cut out a piece of baking paper the same size as the baking tin and lay it on top.

Melt 100g of dark chocolate in a water bath.

Separate 6 medium eggs into yolks and whites.

Beat the egg whites until fluffy, adding a pinch of salt and half of the sugar until stiff peaks form.

Beat the room temperature butter and add the rest of the sugar until pale.

Add the egg yolks one by one to the butter mixture until smooth.

Mix in the melted dark chocolate until smooth.

Add a small portion of the egg whites to loosen the mixture, then fold in the flour, corn starch, cocoa powder, and baking powder.

Mix in the vanilla extract and gently fold in the remaining egg whites.

Pour the batter into the baking tin and spread it evenly.

Set the oven to 180°C and bake for 50 minutes.

Let the cake cool completely before removing it from the tin and baking paper.

Cut the cake in half horizontally using a cake cutter.

Brush a thick layer of cold plum jam evenly over the bottom half of the cake.

Place the top half back on upside down for evenness.

Warm the plum jam in the microwave and brush it over the top and sides of the cake.

Lay the fondant or marzipan on top of the cake and cut off excess parts to make it even.

Melt dark chocolate in a hot water bath and spread it over the cake evenly.

Decorate the cake with Milka easter chocolate eggs.
