Almond sponge
1
Egg yolk mixture
Preheat the oven to 160 °C fan-assisted. Beat the almond mixture with the egg yolk until fluffy. You can use marzipan instead of almond mixture, replacing 10 % with egg white: 180 g marzipan and 20 g egg white.

2
Beaten egg whites
Whisk the egg white with the sugar until stiff, then alternately fold in the beaten egg whites and the sifted flour.


3
Baking
Fill about 75 g into each silicone mould and bake the bases for about 30 minutes. Let them cool on the cake rack for 15 minutes.
Vanilla cream
1
Cook
Bring milk (part 1) to the boil with sugar and vanilla seeds. Whisk egg yolks, cream powder and milk (part 2), add about a third of the hot milk, then return everything to the pan and cook, stirring, until it thickens into a firm pudding.
2
Chill
Cover the pudding directly on its surface with cling film and chill for at least 6 hours.
3
Whip
Smooth the pudding with a hand mixer, whip the cream until stiff and fold it in. Fill into a piping bag.

So gelingt es garantiert
Sift the flour
Sifted flour does not clump, and the sponge stays light and airy.
Equalise the temperature
Add one third of the hot milk to the egg yolks first, so they do not curdle when you bring it to the boil.
Prepare
Cook the vanilla custard the day before, so it is ready when you bake the sponge layers.
