Finely chop 75 g chocolate coating. Melt over a warm water bath. Cream fat, sugar, vanillin sugar and salt. Stir in the eggs one after the other. Mix flour, starch and baking powder, stir into the fat-egg mixture.
Halve the dough. Stir the white wine into one half and the liquid chocolate and spice into the other half.

Roast the almonds in a pan without fat until golden brown, take them out and let them cool down. Finely chop 225 g chocolate coating, melt with coconut oil over a warm water bath.
