Ingredients
  

  • 2 packs Dr. Oetker Original Pudding Chocolate
  • 80 g sugar
  • 800 ml milk
  • 100 g chopped dark chocolate
  • 400 g soft butter
  • 120 g sifted icing sugar
  • 4 size M eggs (for the sponge cake)
  • 3 tbsp hot water
  • 125 g sugar
  • 1 pack Dr. Oetker vanilla sugar
  • 125 g plain flour
  • 1 tbsp Dr. Oetker baking powder
  • 50 g cornstarch
  • 6 tbsp apricot jam about
  • 50 g roasted almond flakes about
  • q.s. baking cocoa

Equipment

  • Springform pan (26 cm Ø)
  • Baking paper
  • Mixing bowls
  • Hand mixer
  • Piping bag with star nozzle

Method
 

  1. Cook the pudding powder with sugar and milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Once thickened, stir in the chopped dark chocolate until fully melted. Pour into a bowl, cover with cling film, and let cool.
  2. Beat the eggs with hot water, sugar, and vanilla sugar until frothy. Mix the flour, baking powder, and cornstarch, sift into the egg mixture, and gently fold in. Pour the batter into a lined springform pan and bake for about 30 minutes at 180°C (or 160°C for hot air).
  3. Beat the soft butter and sifted icing sugar until creamy. Add cooled pudding one spoonful at a time, mixing thoroughly. Set aside about 3 tablespoons in a piping bag with a star nozzle.
  4. Cut the cooled cake in half. Place the bottom layer on a plate and spread half of the apricot jam on it. Spread 1/3 of the buttercream, add the middle layer, repeat with remaining jam and buttercream. Top with final layer, cover with remaining buttercream, decorate with piping bag, sprinkle roasted almonds, and dust with cocoa before serving.
