Ingredients

Servings: 1
  • 250 g Butter or margarine
  • 250 g Sugar
  • 1 package Vanillin sugar
  • 3 Eggs (size M)
  • 1/4 l Milk
  • 25 g crushed almonds
  • 500 g Flour
  • 50 g Cocoa powder
  • 1 package Baking Powder
  • 7-10 Tbsp Fat and breadcrumbs
  • 50 g Dark chocolate coating
  • 250 g white couverture
  • 30 g whole almonds
  • 40 g Chashew kernels
  • 25 g Brazil nut kernels
  • 8-10 Hazelnut kernels
  • 50 g Pistachio kernels
  • 60 g Walnut kernels

Directions

  1. 1

    Cream fat, sugar and vanillin sugar. Gradually stir in the eggs until the mixture is well creamy. Add milk and almonds and mix. Mix flour, cocoa and baking powder and stir in briefly.

  2. 2

    Grease a box form (approx. 30 cm long) and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Fill in the dough and smooth it down. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 175°C / gas: level 2) for approx. 60 minutes. Cover at the end of the baking time if necessary.

  3. 3

    Let the cake cool down on a cake rack. Cut the top of the cake straight, then cut the cake diagonally lengthwise. Fold the cake in such a way that the cut surfaces face outwards as a sloping roof.

  4. 4

    Melt the dark chocolate coating on a hot water bath. Spread both halves thinly with it and glue them together. Cool briefly. In the meantime melt the white couverture as well. Cover the cake evenly and let it dry a little.

  5. 5

    Press the nuts into the moist icing at will and decorate the house with them. Results in about 15 pieces.
