Making delicious slices at home that taste even better than from a pastry shop isn’t difficult, even though this recipe requires a bit more time. The resulting caramel, lemon and chocolate dessert is also worth the effort. What will you need for the delicious slices?
- 12 eggs (whites and yolks separately)
- 12 tablespoons of sugar
- 8 tablespoons of flour
- 3 tablespoons of cocoa
- 2 packets of vanilla sugar
- A pinch of salt
How to proceed?
For the cream you will need 500 grams of dark chocolate with at least 80% cocoa, 500 milliliters of whipping cream, 150 grams of sugar, rum aroma and grated orange zest. Prepare the cream first, since it must rest in the refrigerator for two hours. Break the chocolate into a pot, add the sugar, cream and orange zest and heat until the chocolate melts. Then put it in the fridge and after two hours whip the cream.
Beat the yolks with the sugar, vanilla sugar and a pinch of salt. Then slowly add the flour and cocoa. Finally gently fold in the beaten egg whites. Pour the batter into a greased pan and bake for about twenty minutes at 180 °C. Meanwhile prepare the glaze. Caramelize 250 grams of sugar with 250 milliliters of water and a little rum essence.
Syrup at the end
Then take another 500 grams of sugar and 250 milliliters of water and cook into a syrup. Add 3 tablespoons of honey and 2 tablespoons of cocoa and finally 4 squares of dark chocolate. Stir until they melt. Divide the baked cake into two parts. Spread the bottom part with caramel, then spread a generous layer of cream on it and top with the second part of the cake, which you previously dipped in the caramel.
Put the whole dessert in the fridge for an hour so the cream and caramel set. Then spread the chocolate glaze on it. Once it cools and hardens, you can start cutting and serving. Cut the slices into small squares and, to taste, decorate for example with whipped cream. We guarantee that these slices will wow any guest.
