STEP 1: Preheat the oven to 170C/150C convection/gas 3 and line a 20x30cm rectangular cake tin with baking paper.
STEP 2: Whisk the egg yolks with the powdered sugar and then gradually whisk in 5 tablespoons of hot water.
STEP 3: Mix all the dry ingredients and add tablespoonfuls, alternating with the oil, to the egg yolks. Beat the egg whites until stiff and gently fold them into the cake mixture.
STEP 4: Pour batter into pan and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool.
STEP 5: For the cream, beat the butter, soft cheese, and sugar until smooth and spread evenly over the cooled sponge.
STEP 6: For the glaze, melt the chocolate with the butter in a heatproof bowl over a pot of just simmering water, making sure the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Pour the glaze over the surface of the custard. Let set in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
