If it comes out clean, the biscuit is finished.

Let the sponge cake to rest for half an hour to cool down and then cut it in the same size pieces.

Melt the chocolate with butter, milk and sugar to get a sauce. Stir continuously until ingredients integrate being careful that the chocolate doesn’t burn. Remove from heat.
