We start from the top: beat the egg whites until stiff, then gradually add sugar, continuing to mix until a hard and shiny meringue is obtained.
In a separate bowl, mix the poppy seeds, flour, coconut shavings and baking powder, then pour this mixture over the meringue and gently mix with a silicone spatula.
We pour the resulting composition into a baking sheet covered with baking paper, and place the baking sheet in a preheated oven on low heat. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top passes the toothpick test.
For the cream, mix the yolks with starch and sugar, pour in warm milk and cook the cream until the consistency of pudding. After the cream has cooled slightly, add the moistened gelatin and stir until it is completely dissolved. When the cream cools down enough, we also add whipped cream, homogenize.
For the syrup, caramelize the sugar, being careful not to burn it, then add the water, cook the syrup until the caramel melts, then remove from the heat and add the rum essence. Allow the syrup to cool completely.
Assembly: spread the vanilla cream evenly over the baking sheet. On top of the cream layer, place the syrup-soaked cookies nearby.
Melt the chocolate together with the liquid cream in a steam bath, mix until smooth, then evenly glaze the cake.<img src=”https://www.kiloretete.ro/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/tosca-1-e1586251338626.jpg” />
We put the cake in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, after which it can be portioned.
