Cake
Mix eggs and sugar in a saucepan on the low heat. Do not boil or let it get too hot. We just want the sugar to dissolve and the eggs to be warm for beating.
Transfer the eggs and sugar mixture into your stand mixer and beat on medium/low speed for about 10 minutes.
Sift both flours and coco powder together. Make sure all is well
combined. Sift half of the dry ingredients to the beaten eggs. Foldin very gently and then sift the remaining part and fold again. It isvery important to do it gently because we don't want to deflate thebatter.
Transfer the batter into your 9 in cake pan sprayed with a non stickspray and lined with a parchment paper. Bake in preheated oven to 180Degrees Celsius for 40 minutes. Let it cool completely before cuttinginto 3 layers. Make sure all the layers are equally thick.
Cream
Combine cold heavy cream, icing sugar and whipping cream stabilizer and beat
until stiff picks.
Crush Orio's cookies and fold in the cream.
Syrup
Mix the coco powder and icing sugar in a mug and pour hot water. Mixwell and let it cool down before spooning over the cake.
Cut your cake in three even layers. Cut a circle a bit smaller thanyour cake out of cardboard. It will help with moving the cake aroundfor decorating.
Set the first layer on the circle and then spoon around 1/3 of yourcoco syrup on in. Put half of whipped cream on top and spread evenly.Cover with a second layer and repeat the process with syrup andremaining cream. Cover with a third layer and spoon the remainingsyrup. Put in refrigerator and prepare your chocolate glaze.
Heat up the heavy cream in a saucepan until almost boiling. Put yourchocolate chips in a heat proof mixing bowl. Add corn syrup and pourhot cream over and let it stand for couple of minutes, then stir untilall is very well combined, smooth and glossy.
Set a bowl upside down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (easier to clean up later). Set your cake on the bowl. Make sure it isstable. Pour your chocolate glaze over the cake evenly and let it setbefore decorating ( half an hour in the fridge should be enough).
Decorate to your liking and leave overnight in the fridge.
