Ingredients
 

  • 350 g Butter
  • 6 Eggs (size XL)
  • 350 g Sugar
  • 200 g Wheat flour type 405
  • 200 g Food starch
  • 2 tsp Baking powder
  • 3 Tonka beans
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1 cube Palm fat - palm oil
  • 200 g Chocolate, bittersweet

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180 ° C.
  • Liquefy the butter on the hotplate, remove it from the stove and let it cool down.
  • Beat the eggs with sugar, salt, lemon zest and the two grated tonka beans until frothy. Sift the flour with cornstarch and baking powder twice and fold in a tablespoon at a time.
  • Brush a sponge cake tin with butter and flour. Since the mass is a little too much, I recommend buttering and flouring a small loaf pan as well.
  • Then put the cake tin in the oven at approx. 180 ° C for approx. 60 minutes.
  • Then do the knitting needle test. if the knitting needle is dry when you pull it out, the cake is baked.
  • Remove from the oven and immediately transfer to a wire rack.
  • Now put water on the stove and bring it to a boil and then switch it off.
  • Crush the couverture, add the grated tonka bean and place in a metal bowl and place in the boiling water and add a cube of palm fat and the.
  • Make sure that the couverture does not get too hot, otherwise the couverture loses its shine and can crystallize out. Do not heat the couverture above 45 ° C.
  • Cover the cakes with the couverture and a little later, when the couverture has set, sprinkle with colorful sugar sprinkles.
