Whip the eggs together with the caster sugar, until you reach a clear, frothy mixture in a separate bowl.
Add the milk and vanilla extract in your mix from step #5.
Add the flour, cocoa and yeast to the above mixture, which was previously sieved.
And finally, add the butter and continue mixing.
Pour the mix into the cake pan and bake for 30 minutes or until a wooden skewer in the middle is clean.
Let it cool down completely before stuffing with the cream of your choice.
