Ingredients
For the sponge cake
90 g (½ cup + 1½ tbsp) All purpose flour
40 g (¼ cup + 1 tbsp) Unsweetened cocoa powder
1½ tsp Baking powder
150 g (¾ cup) Sugar
3 Egg yolks
4 Egg whites
130 g (½ cup + 1 tbsp) Warm milk
70 g (⅔ stick) Butter
For the Chantilly whipped cream
400 g (14.5 oz) Cold heavy cream
½ tsp Vanilla
3 tbsp Sugar. You can add more to your taste.
For the chocolate ganache
200 g (7 oz) Chocolate

Method
For the sponge cake
In a clean glass or metal bowl beat the egg whites, with ½ tsp of lemon juice. Once foaming, add the sugar one tablespoon at a time, and whip egg whites until stiff peaks.
In another bowl mix the cocoa powder with the hot melted butter. Add the milk and the egg yolks. Add the dry ingredients.
Gently combine both mixtures together without deflating the egg whites.
Heat a lightly greased skillet over low medium heat and cook the pancakes. Form into taco shapes while they’re still warm (check video).
Allow to cool completely.
For the Chantilly whipped cream
Whip together the cold cream, vanilla and sugar.
For the chocolate ganache
Break the chocolate into small pieces.
Bring the heavy cream to a simmer and pour over the chocolate. Stir until the chocolate has fully melted.
To assemble
Spoon the various fillings into the taco shells, as shown in the video.
