preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees (top / bottom heat), grease the baking tin and dust with flour.
  2. I always take this gugelhupfähnliche form on the grooves as the individual pieces are marked. You can also bake it in a box mold or Gugelhupf. Then it starts:
  3. Beat the margarine with 175 g of sugar and the orange peel until fluffy, and separate the eggs.
  4. Gradually stir in the yolks, add the flour and baking powder and stir. Then mix in the almonds, chocolate and spices and then, alternately, rum, milk and the orange juice.
  5. Finally, beat the egg whites with the remaining sugar until stiff and fold in.
  6. Put the dough in the mold and bake for about 30 minutes. He always needs me at least 45 minutes. Please take care of yourself and make a stick sample. After cooling, glaze with dark couverture and enjoy.

Please be sure to note that with the Eiertrennen, I once made it out of laziness and so the cake was a disaster.

Good luck and good appetite!
