• 3 packets of vanilla sugar
• 6 eggs, including the yolk
• 6 tbsp water, 125 ml milk
• 100 g butter

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

Currant slices

Beat the sugar, vanilla sugar, egg yolks, and water until fluffy, then gradually add the melted butter, flour, and milk. Spread the batter finger-thickly onto a greased baking sheet and bake until light golden (approx. 160-180°C for approximately 10-15 minutes). Meanwhile, beat the sugar spoonful by spoonful into the stiff peaks, then stir in the vanilla sugar and currants. Spread the mixture onto the cake and bake at low heat until done (approx. 30 minutes). Once cooled, slice it. The cake is almost done when the topping is still creamy on the inside and lightly brown on the outside, and the currants are beginning to release their juices. (Do not overbake, or the egg whites will become crumbly and the cake will be difficult to slice.)
