Instructions

Working time approx. 40 minutes; Total time approx. 40 minutes

Make a batter with the 3 eggs and the following ingredients up to and including 200g of butter. (First, add the dry ingredients; then a well and the wet ingredients.) This batter is for a baking sheet approximately 30x33cm. Bake for approximately 15 minutes on the lowest rack of an oven preheated to 200°C (400°F). Allow the sponge cake to cool slightly. Make a glaze from the ingredients, from powdered sugar to kirsch, and pour it evenly over the lukewarm sponge cake. (Note: Make the glaze while the sponge cake is baking.) Sprinkle the desiccated coconut (a little more or less, depending on your preference) over the glaze while it is still liquid. Cut the almost cooled sponge cake into equal cubes. Serves approximately 10-12 people.
