Number Of Ingredients 18

SOFT SPONGE CAKE
200 g butter
200 g caster sugar
70 g almond powder
150 g eggs
200 g flour
5 g baking powder
10 g brown rum
40 g vanilla sugar
PRALINE CREAM
200 g pastry cream
120 g hazelnut paste
1 kg butter cream
ROMIA DISCS
100 g glucose
100 g brown sugar
100 g flaked almonds
100 g butter

Steps:

  • 1. SOFT SPONGE CAKE: In an electric mixer fitted with the paddle, cream the butter with sugar and add the almond powder. Gradually add the eggs, and then the flour, which has been sifted with the baking powder, ten finish by adding the rum and vanilla sugar. Pipe to a height of about 1 cm in the base of a sheet of "Flexipan" tartlet moulds and bake in a fan forced oven at 180C for about 10 minutes.
  • 2. PRALINE CREAM: Stir the pastry cream to smooth, then work in the hazelnut paste and finally the butter cream.
  • 3. ROMIA DISCS: Soften the glucose over low heat in a saucepan, immediately adding the brown sugar then the almonds and butter. Do not cook this mixture. Next, pour onto a sheet of "Silpat", spread with a metal spatula and allow to cool and firm a little, then shape into small rolls of 2 cm diameter and refrigerate. Cut into small discs of about 5 mm thickness and arrange in the base of the shapes of a sheet of Flexipan for small pastries of 4 cm diameter. Bake in a fan forced oven at 180C for about 10 minutes.
  • 4. TO ASSEMLE AND GARNISH: Remove the cooled soft sponges from the moulds and use a piping bag with a star tip (#6) to pipe the tops with praline cream. Place a piece of edible gold leaf onto the Romia discs, and place the discs on top of the cream.
