Yield: 12
Ingredients: 3 eggs; 55 g granulated sugar; 55 g semi-coarse flour; 10 g cocoa; 1 tablespoon warm water; 1/4 teaspoon baking powder; 4 eggs; 75 g granulated sugar; 90 g semi-coarse flour; 1 tablespoon warm water; 1/4 teaspoon baking powder; 200 ml Sunquick orange syrup; 200 ml water; 400 ml milk; 1 vanilla pudding mix; 1 packet vanilla sugar; 200 g granulated sugar; 250 g butter; dark chocolate glaze; remaining part of the cream for spreading

Preparation of the sponge layers: Bake two cocoa layers and one light layer. Whip the egg whites into stiff peaks, add the sugar, egg yolks, warm water, flour with baking powder. For the cocoa layers, fold in the cocoa as well. Bake on parchment paper for 12 minutes at 180 °C. Let cool.

Vanilla cream: From the milk, pudding mix, vanilla and granulated sugar, cook a thick pudding and let it cool to room temperature. Whip the butter until fluffy and gradually beat in the cooled pudding. Both components must be at the same temperature so the cream does not separate.

Orange syrup: Mix the Sunquick with cold water, bring to a boil and let cool.

Assembling the slices: Place the first cocoa layer on a tray, spread with half of the cream. Place the light layer on top and pour the orange syrup over it. Then spread the second half of the cream (set aside 2 tablespoons for the top). Cover with the second cocoa layer, gently press, and let firm up in the refrigerator for several hours.
