Cream fat and sugar with the whisk of the hand mixer. Stir in eggs bit by bit. Mix flour, starch, baking powder and almonds. Stir into the fat and sugar mixture. Fill the dough into a greased fruitcake tin (22 cm Ø) and smooth it down.
Bake in the preheated oven (electric oven: 200 °C/ gas: level 3) for about 20 minutes. Let it cool down a little bit and turn out of the tin. Let the base cool down. In the meantime, chop the chocolate coating roughly.
Heat 1 cup of whipped cream and couverture at medium heat while stirring until the couverture has dissolved. Leave to cool for 2-3 hours in the refrigerator. Whip chocolate cream and remaining cream separately.
Spread the chocolate cream on the cake base and smooth it down. Spread the rest of the cream cloudy with a tablespoon. Place the cake in the refrigerator for another 1 hour. Dust with cocoa before serving.
Makes 12 pieces.
