Instructions:
1. Pour the contents of bag number 1 in a bowl. Add the whole eggs and the oil. Combine with a whisk.
2. Divide the batter into two batches (one third and two thirds). Add the cocoa powder to the small batch and combine with a whisk.
3. On a silicone mat, arrange a stainless steel square frame 20x20cm and a rectangular frame 20x10cm. Grease the inside of the frames.
4. Pour the chocolate preparation into the small frame and the plain preparation into the big frame. Spread into a thin layer.
5. Bake in a fan-assisted oven preheated at 170°C (gas 4) for 17 minutes.
Take the biscuits out of the oven and set aside to cool.

6. Ganache: Bring the cream to a boil then pour it over the dark chocolate pistoles (chopped with a knife beforehand). Combine with a whisk until the chocolate is completely incorporated and add the butter. Leave to set at room temperature for about 2 hours.

7.Assembly: Remove the first skin on top and divide the plain biscuit in half.
8. Spread 40 grams of chocolate ganache over one of the biscuits, and the rest of the ganache over the chocolate biscuit.
9. Stack the three layers of biscuit with the cocoa biscuit in the centre. Trim all four sides with a serrated knife, making sure not to squash the biscuit.

10. Icing: Dissolve the icing sugar in water. Spread the icing over the biscuit. Sprinkle with chocolate vermicelli over the surface.
