Ingredients

Servings: 12
  • 75 g Dark chocolate
  • 4 Eggs (size M)
  • 130 g Sugar
  • 2 packages Vanillin sugar
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 100 g Flour
  • 2 TEASPOONS Baking Powder
  • 15 g Cocoa powder
  • 12 pre-cooked chestnuts
  • 1/2 Pomegranate
  • 250 g Whipped cream
  • 7-10 Tbsp Cocoa
  • 12 Paper sleeves

Directions

  1. 1

    Roughly chop the chocolate and melt over a warm water bath. Let it cool down a little. Separate the eggs. Beat the egg whites and 4 tablespoons of cold water until stiff with the whisk of the hand mixer, adding 100 g sugar, 1 packet of vanilla sugar and salt. Stir in the egg yolks one after the other.

  2. 2

    Stir in melted chocolate. Mix flour, baking powder and cocoa. Sieve portions onto the egg cream and fold in. Line the hollows of a muffin tray (12 hollows) with paper sleeves and put about 1 tablespoon of mixture in each mould. Place 1 chestnut in the middle of each mould and cover with the remaining mixture. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: level 2) for 15-25 minutes. Let the cake cool down briefly, then remove from the tin and let it cool down on a kitchen grid. Break apart the pomegranate and remove the seeds from the white skin. Whip the cream until half firm, while allowing 1 sachet of vanilla sugar to trickle in.
