Directions

  1. 1

    Separate eggs. Beat the egg whites with 1 pinch of salt until stiff, adding 20 g of sugar little by little. Cut 1/2 vanilla pod lengthwise and scrape out the pulp. Beat egg yolks, icing sugar and vanilla pulp until fluffy. Mix flour and cocoa powder and pass through a sieve. Carefully fold the beaten egg white and the flour mixture into the egg yolk mixture alternately

Dust the sponge cakes generously with icing sugar and bake in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ circulating air: 150 °C/ gas: see manufacturer) for 12-14 minutes. Then take them out and let them cool down

  3. 3

    Wash the currants and remove from the stalks. Cut the remaining vanilla pod lengthwise and scrape out the pulp. Bring the pulp, 100 g sugar and red wine to the boil in a pot and simmer for about 5 minutes. Stir starch with 2 tbsp. water until smooth and thicken the stock. Bring to the boil once, add currants and pour into a bowl to cool
