Mazarin cake
- Beat the butter and sugar together until well combined and creamy.

- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each egg.

- Bake the mazarin cake in a preheated conventional oven (top and bottom heat) at 190°C for about 35 minutes. If in doubt, press gently on the centre of the cake to check whether it feels as firm as the rest of the cake. If the centre feels softer, give it a little longer.Let the cake cool before removing it from the springform tin and placing it on a plate.
Chocolate topping
- Melt the butter in a saucepan.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the chocolate, - stirring until it is smooth and free of lumps.
- Spread the chocolate over the cake, - letting it drip down over the edges, and let it set slightly before serving the cake.Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature.
