For the sponge cake, beat 6 eggs with sugar and water until frothy, mix the flour and baking powder and stir in. Bake in a springform pan at 175 degrees Celsius for 30-40 minutes. Once cooled, cut the sponge cake crosswise so that one third remains for the base. Cut the remaining two-thirds into small cubes (about 2 cm x 2 cm). For the filling, vigorously mix the milk with sugar, 2 eggs, vanilla sugar and 30 g butter, bring to a boil while stirring, boil for 1 minute and let cool. Beat 220 g butter until frothy and gradually stir in the cooled mixture, adding 8 tablespoons of rum. Carefully fold in the sponge cake cubes. Line a dome-shaped pan or a round bowl with foil, pour in the mixture and press firmly, then place the cake base on top as a lid. Let it rest in the refrigerator for a while, then turn it out and cover the dome with chocolate icing. For decoration, place halved rum balls on top and sprinkle desiccated coconut over the chocolate glaze. This cake is very moist, tastes delicious, and the slices look very interesting (like marble). None of your guests will guess how it came about.
