Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 180-200°C (top/bottom heat). For the batter, beat the egg yolks with the sugar and vanilla seeds until creamy. Stir in the grated orange zest and rum. Sift the baking powder over the ground almonds, mix both, and add to the egg yolk mixture. Blend everything into a dough that should barely stick. Add ground almonds if needed until the dough reaches the desired consistency. Roll out the dough on a work surface dusted with ground almonds to a thickness of 1/2 cm. Cut out hearts and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes. For the glaze, mix the powdered sugar with the rum until thick. Brush the hearts with it while they are still warm. To avoid questions: no flour is used!
