Melt butter, sugar and cocoa powder in a water bath and mix well. Add the egg and heat while stirring until the mixture starts to thicken. Remove the pot from the heat and then stir in the remaining ingredients. Finally, place the mixture in an ungreased baking pan (20 cm x 20 cm) and press well.

Middle Layer

Mix all ingredients into a slightly creamy mass. Then spread the mixture onto the floor.
