Old family secret recipe with lots of marzipan and liqueur

For the base, separate the eggs and beat the egg whites until stiff. Gradually add 150g of sugar. Beat the egg yolks with softened butter, 100g sugar, salt, and vanilla sugar until fluffy. Carefully stir in the egg whites and sifted flour. Cut five circles (28cm in diameter) from baking paper, place them on baking sheets, and spread the batter on top. Bake at 200°C fan/convection oven or 250°C top and bottom heat for approx. 5-10 minutes until golden brown; they must not become too dry. Allow to cool. For the filling, mix all the ingredients until smooth. Cut the bases to 26cm in diameter and fill with the marzipan mixture. Cover the cake with the marzipan and cover with the chocolate coating. Decorate with melted chocolate coating, if desired. The cake tastes best when left to mature for at least 4 days.
