Cacao Wafer

This recipe is from the family of my husband. They made it all the time in his childhood. It is one of the easiest dessert I’ve ever made, but the result is a cake that practically eats itself.

The quantities I wrote above is for a 2 cakes, because I only have this recipe for wafer sheets and one package has 4 pieces and I don’t know what to do with the other 2 sheets. But! There is a recipe on the package so it is in plan to try that (and make a new column on the blog about such recipes).

So you can half the quantities of the ingredients. The 7 eggs should be 4 for one cake.
