First preheat the oven to 200 degrees top and bottom heat (180 degrees circulating air). Separate the eggs thoroughly. Using a hand mixer, beat the egg whites with 5 tablespoons of cold water until fluffy. Then gradually drop in about 60 g of the sugar. Continue to beat the mass continuously.

Now mix the egg yolk with the remaining sugar and a pinch of salt until a thick cream has formed.

Pour the specified flour through a sieve into a bowl and mix it with baking powder, starch and cocoa. Pour the whole thing through a sieve into the egg cream and fold in. Now fold in 1/3 of the egg whites and work until a fluffy dough has formed.

Grease a square baking pan and pour in the batter. Bake the whole thing for 25 minutes on the middle rack.

Meanwhile, pour the cold whipped cream into a chilled bowl. Mix the powdered sugar with the whipped cream. Whip the cream with the hand mixer and gradually add the icing sugar mixture until a firm cream forms. Fold about 40 g of the grated chocolate into the cream. Refrigerate the whole thing.
