Ingredients

Preparation procedure

  • Sponge batter In a bowl, whip the butter with the sugar until light and creamy. Beat in the yolks one at a time. Sift the flour with the cocoa and baking powder into the mixture and gently stir with a wooden spoon.
  • Whipped egg whites Whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt to stiff peaks and gently fold them into the batter.
  • Baking Spread the batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (30 × 40 cm). Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C (fan 160 °C) for 18–20 minutes, until the surface is slightly browned. Let cool.
  • Nut filling In a bowl, mix the ground nuts with the powdered and vanilla sugar. Gradually add the rum to form a moist, not too runny filling. Spread it evenly over the cooled sponge.
  • Chocolate glaze Chop the chocolates into small pieces, place them in a bowl over a pot of boiling water (double boiler) or briefly heat in the microwave at low power. Stir in the coconut butter until a smooth, glossy glaze forms. Pour it immediately over the filling and spread.
  • Finishing Allow the glaze to set at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Cut the sheet into squares or strips as desired.
