Malakoff Cake

First, make the refining sugar. To do this, briefly boil the granulated sugar with water and rum and allow to cool.

For the cream, whip the yolks, milk, rum, almonds and powdered sugar until thick and fluffy. Whip the cream until stiff, stir the gelatine into the yolk-milk mixture and carefully fold in the whipped cream.

Place a springform ring around a cake base (24 cm). Dip the biscuits in the liqueur sugar.

Cover the bottom of the cake tin with sponge balls and spread some of the cream on top of the sponge balls. Dip the biscuits again in liqueur sugar and place them on top of the cream. Spread another layer of cream on top.

Repeat the process until the cream is used up. The last layer should be the cream. Refrigerate the cake for at least 3 hours

For the glaze, loosen the springform ring, whip the whipped cream until stiff and spread it all around the cake.

Decorate the Malakoff Torte with biscuits, almond flakes or candied cherries as desired.

Preparation Tip:

Malakoff cake can also be prepared without rum. Instead, for the taste possibly use rum flavoring.
