Briefly beat the eggs with the sugar and vanilla sugar. Add 6 tablespoons of hot water and beat for 5 minutes until frothy. Mix the flour with the cocoa and baking powder and carefully fold in with a whisk by hand. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread about 2/3 of the batter onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper and bake on the first rack from the bottom for about 15 minutes. Pour the remaining batter into a 24 cm springform pan lined with baking paper and bake for about 15 minutes. Let cool. For the filling, whip the mascarpone with the sugar and cold coffee. Whip the cream with the cream stiffener until stiff and fold in. Cut the round base in half, spread a little mocha cream on one base and place the springform pan rim around it. Cut the rectangular plate into 5 lengthwise strips and spread with the mocha cream (reserve about 5 tablespoons for the top). Roll up one strip, place it in the center of the round cake, and wrap the remaining strips around it in a spiral until they reach the edge of the springform pan. Spread the remaining cream on top and cover with the second sheet. Refrigerate for about 4 hours. For the frosting, melt the chocolate coating with oil, pour it onto a baking sheet, let it set, scrape off the chocolate shavings, and roll into rolls. Cover the cake with chocolate glaze and dust with cocoa powder. Decorate with the chocolate shavings and rolls and dust with powdered sugar.
