- 120g granulated sugar

Instructions
- Heat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Blend the eggs, sugar, and salt until the mixture is uniform. Beat in the milk and vegetable oil.
- Carefully sift the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder into the wet ingredients, mixing until you have a smooth batter.
- Line a round skillet with baking paper or lightly oil. Pour the cake batter in and evenly spread it. Bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool, then slice it horizontally to create two even layers.
- Prepare the gelatin by mixing it with lukewarm water, then melt it in a double boiler or microwave. Stiffly whip the cream with condensed milk, then add the prepared gelatin, and mix gently.
- Transfer one biscuit layer to the mold, add the chocolate mousse mixture, and place the second biscuit layer atop. Cool it in the fridge for 1-2 hours.
- Craft the topping by melting the chocolate into the lukewarm cream and spreading it over the top of the chilled cake.
- Gently unmold and top with the chocolate cream sauce. Refrigerate until the sauce sets.
