\ud83d\udc68\u200d\ud83c\udf73 Preparation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Prepare the Dough
    Ingredients: Mix the fat\/butter, sugar, eggs, honey and milk.
    Knead: Mix the baking soda into the flour, then add the wet ingredients. Knead the dough quickly.
    Division: Divide the dough into two parts.

    Keep one part white (approx. $400 \\text{ g}$).
    Knead the cocoa powder into the other part (approx. $350 \\text{ g}$).
    Baking white sheets: Divide the white dough into two equal sheets. Roll them out and place them on the back of a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Bake in a preheated $180^\\circ\\text{C}$ oven for about $10-12 \\text{ minutes}$ (until light). While still warm, cut both sheets into 3 equal strips.
    Baking cocoa bars: Roll out the cocoa dough into about 12 equal, long bars (the same size as the sheets). Place them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and bake for about $10-15 \\text{ minutes}$.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Preparing the Cream
    Cooking the Pudding: Boil the pudding powder, sugar and milk until thick. Let it cool completely (to room temperature).
    Buttercream: Cream the soft butter\/margarine with the powdered sugar.
    Mixing: Gradually stir the cooled pudding into the buttercream. You should have a silky, smooth cream.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Assembly (Building the Roof)
    You will build two separate roofs, each using 3 white sheets and 6 cocoa bars.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Place a white strip on a tray or board. Spread a thick layer of cream on it.
    Place 3 cocoa bars on it lengthwise (with a gap of about $2-3 \\text{ mm}$).
    Spread the bars with cream, filling the gaps between the bars. Place 2 cocoa bars on top.
    Spread the 2 bars again with cream. Place 1 cocoa bar on top.
    Smooth the remaining cream on the top and sides of the bars, forming a triangle shape.
    Attach the remaining two white stripes to the creamy sides, as if they were the two sides of the roof.
    Refrigerate: Place in a cold place, ideally overnight, so that the sheets soften and the cream sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Finish
      Glaze: The next day, melt the dark chocolate with the cooking oil over steam or in the microwave. Smooth the glaze over the top of the cake.
      Sprinkle: Sprinkle generously with coconut flakes while the chocolate is still firm.
      Slice: Once the glaze has hardened, slice with a sharp knife.
