Step 1. Beat the egg whites with the sugar until stiff. Gradually add the egg yolks. Next, incorporate the sifted flour, cocoa, and baking powder. Mix well, add the chopped chocolate, and combine.

Step 2. Pour the batter into a pan measuring about 11 x 7 inches, lined with baking paper. Bake in an oven preheated to 350°F for 35 minutes.

Step 3. Dissolve the jelly in a bowl with hot water. Mix well and let it cool. In a separate bowl, mix the whipped topping with cold milk. Add the cooled jelly and combine using a mixer.

Step 4. Cut the cooled sponge cake into two parts. Spread half of the lemon cream on the first half, followed by a layer of butter cookies and caramel cream.

Step 5. Add another layer of butter cookies, spread the remaining lemon cream, and place the second sponge cake layer on top. Cover with the whipped heavy cream and powdered sugar mixture, and sprinkle with grated chocolate. Chill, preferably overnight. Enjoy!
