Milk Slice Deluxe

Ingredients for 2 servings:

• 5 eggs
• 1 egg yolk, use the egg white for something else
• 70 g sugar
• 10 g vanilla sugar, homemade, alternatively 8 g vanilla sugar
• 90 g wheat flour, type 405
• ¾ tsp baking powder
• 25 g cocoa powder, heavily deoiled
• 250 g cream
• 40 ml coconut syrup (bar syrup), but e.g. caramel or hazelnut syrup or grenadine and many more also work
• 3 tsp gelatin fix

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 45 minutes

1. First, beat the eggs and egg yolks in a bowl for several minutes until frothy; the volume should triple. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees fan/convection oven. 2. Mix the sugar and vanilla sugar and then stir into the egg mixture. Continue stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. 3. Now mix the cocoa powder, wheat flour, and baking powder and sift into the egg mixture, then fold everything in and place on a well-greased baking tray. Bake for 12-15 minutes. 4. After baking, remove the still-hot sponge cake from the baking tray. To do this, place baking paper on the still-hot base and place a second baking tray or a roasting pan on top. Then rotate the trays so that the hot tray is on top. Remove the top tray and let the batter cool. 5. In the meantime, mix the cream with the syrup and gradually stir in the instant gelatine until everything is perfectly mixed. The cream is then whipped until stiff. 6. Trim the dry edges of the sponge cake, which is then divided in half. Spread approximately 90% of the stiffly whipped syrup cream on one layer and then cover with the second layer. Any gaps around the edges are filled with the remaining 10% cream. 7. The milk slice is then refrigerated for at least 3 hours and then cut into any desired shape. Tip: As described above in the ingredients, simply replace the coconut syrup from the video with other flavorings. If possible, please use bar syrup, i.e., syrup used for mixing cocktails, as these have a higher concentration of flavors. Have fun baking! Naturally Delicious
