- 1 tsp, heaped nut nougat cream
- 1 tbsp pistachios, chopped
Furthermore:
- Fat for the springform pan
- n.B. flour or semolina or breadcrumbs for the springform pan
Preparation:
- Preheat the oven to 170 ° C, grease a 26 cm springform pan and crumble out.
For the dough:
- Mix the flour, cornstarch and baking powder in a small bowl. Put the sugar, vanilla sugar, poppy seeds and salt in a large bowl and beat well with the eggs using a mixer. Add the milk and butter. Gradually sieve in the flour mixture and mix well.
- Then fill into the mold and bake on the middle shelf for 35 - 45 min. Don't forget the stick test. When the cake is ready, let it cool in the mold.
- Loosen the edge of the mold and divide the bottom horizontally into two parts. Lift off the top piece. The best way to do this is with two wide knives that are pushed between the layers.
For the cream:
- Remove a small portion of the milk to mix the pudding powder and sugar. Bring the rest to the boil with the marzipan and the ground almonds. It is best to cut the marzipan into small pieces, then it will dissolve better in the milk. Add the mixed powder and bring to the boil again until a thick pudding has formed. Remove the saucepan from the heat, stir the hot mass well and slowly sprinkle the gelatin powder.
- Put the marzipan pudding mixture directly hot on the bottom shelf and put the top shelf back on. Press down gently.
For decoration:
- Chop the chocolate and melt in the water bath with the nut nougat cream. Put on the cake and quickly decorate with the chopped pistachios while the chocolate is still thick.
