- In an electric mixer, beat the butter until pale, then gradually add the sugar and continue beating.
- Separate the egg yolks from the whites; add the yolks one at a time, then add the vanilla and lemon zest and beat.
- Begin adding the flour and milk alternately—one time flour, the next time milk—until the quantities are used up.
- Whip the egg whites in a separate bowl until stiff; fold the whipped egg whites into the first mixture with a spatula or spoon, folding gently from top to bottom until the light fluffy cake batter is uniform.
- Pour the cake batter into a buttered pan with a dusting of flour, then place it in the oven on the middle rack at 180°C for 45 to 50 minutes depending on the oven.Timers: 50 min
- Meanwhile prepare the topping sauce by mixing the white sauce ingredients together.
- Prepare the chocolate coating: mix the cocoa with the butter well, then add the sugar and hot water and mix thoroughly.
- Let the light fluffy cake cool before pouring the white sauce and chocolate coating over it, then serve.
