HOW TO DO IT?
Vanilla cake:
Mix the butter ointment with the sugar, salt and scraped vanilla. Add the tempered eggs, then the sifted flour and baking powder, finish with the tempered liquid cream.
Cocoa cake:
Mix the butter ointment with the sugar and salt. Add the tempered eggs, then the sifted flour, baking powder and cocoa, finish with the tempered liquid cream.
The Light Syrup:
Bring the water and sugar to the boil and stop the heat.
The Icing Rock:
Roast the chopped almonds in the oven at 150°c for 15/20 minutes.
Melt the chocolate, then add the grapeseed oil and finally add the roasted chopped almonds.
The Marbled Cake:
In a buttered and floured cake tin, poach the vanilla cake machine then the cocoa cake machine and finish with the vanilla cake machine until you reach the 3⁄4 of the tin. Marble the cake with the tip of a knife by plunging it into the mould and forming a zig zag along its entire length.
Bake for 35-40 minutes at 160°c.
Soak the marbled cake with a brush as it comes out of the oven. Once the cake is cold, cover it with rock icing (place the cake on a rack, cover it with icing preheated to 35°, and wait for the icing to set before placing it on a baking dish).
