Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 40 minutes
Total time: 1 hour and 10 minutes
Number of servings: 12

Ingredients:

For the base:
- 1 package of margarine (approximately 250 g)
- 250 g sugar
- 4 egg yolks
- 3 tablespoons of cocoa
- 300 g flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder

For the meringue:
- 4 egg whites
- 300 g powdered sugar

For the glaze:
- 3 tablespoons of sugar
- 3 tablespoons of boiling water
- 3 tablespoons of cocoa
- 1 tablespoon of margarine (or butter)

Instructions:

1. Start by preparing the base. Preheat the oven to 180°C. In a large bowl, mix the softened margarine with the sugar until you get a creamy and homogeneous mixture. This step is essential for ensuring a fluffy texture of the base.

2. Add the egg yolks one by one, continuing to mix. Make sure each yolk is fully incorporated before adding the next.

3. In another bowl, combine the flour with the cocoa and baking powder. These dry ingredients will give the base that intense chocolate flavor. Sift them to avoid lumps.

4. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the margarine mixture, gently mixing with a spatula. Avoid overmixing to prevent a dense base.

5. Pour the batter into a baking tray lined with parchment paper (recommended size: 30x20 cm) and place it in the oven. Bake for about 20 minutes, until the base is firm to the touch but still moist inside.

6. Meanwhile, prepare the meringue. In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with a mixer on high speed until foamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue mixing until you achieve a shiny and firm meringue. A well-beaten meringue will give your cake a crunchy texture.

7. Once the base has risen, remove it from the oven and spread the meringue evenly on top. Put the cake back in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the meringue turns golden and crunchy.

8. For the glaze, in a small pot, combine the sugar with boiling water, cocoa, and margarine. Simmer on low heat, stirring constantly, until the glaze becomes smooth and shiny.

9. After the cake has completely cooled, pour the glaze on top and let it set. You can decorate it with chocolate flakes or chopped nuts for added texture.

10. Cut the cake into squares and serve it with a cup of coffee or tea. This "Black Tooth" cake is perfect for enjoying in the company of loved ones or as a quick dessert for a family evening.

Helpful tips:
- You can replace margarine with butter for a richer taste.
- If you want a less sweet version, reduce the amount of sugar in the meringue or glaze.
- Add a little vanilla essence to the batter for an extra flavor.
