Instructions

Working time approx. 45 minutes; Rest time approx. 1 hour; Cooking/baking time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 2 hours 15 minutes

Preheat the oven to 180°C (top/bottom heat). Separate the eggs and beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. In a mixing bowl, cream the butter, sugar, and vanilla sugar until fluffy. Gradually stir in the egg yolks. Sift the flour, baking powder, and cocoa powder and add them to the batter in portions. Then gradually stir in the coffee and whiskey. Finally, carefully fold in the beaten egg whites. Line a baking tray with baking paper and pour the batter onto the baking tray. Spread evenly. Bake the cake on the middle rack for approx. 20-30 minutes. Let the cake cool. For the glaze, mix the icing sugar with the Bailey’s. The glaze should be thick and runny. Add more icing sugar or Bailey’s if necessary. Spread the glaze over the cake and sprinkle with chocolate sprinkles. Let the finished cake cool completely until the glaze is firm.
