Chocolate Baumstamm

Step 1

Whisk the whole egg with the sugar and salt until the mixture is firm. Sieve the wheat flour with the cocoa powder and mix into the egg mixture together with the cocoa flavouring. Spread the mixture onto a 30 x 40 cm baking tray lined with baking paper and bake.

Baking time: 10 - 15 minutes, baking temperature: 180 °C

Step 2

Melt the white chocolate coating and lightly whip together with the cream cheese and vanilla paste. Carefully fold in the whipped cream and chill until ready to use.

Step 3

Beat the butter until fluffy, stir in the cocoa powder and rum flavouring . Then gradually add the pudding, continuing to beat vigorously.

Structure

Spread the vanilla cream over the chocolate sponge and roll up the sponge. Cut off about 1/3 of the roll and place it back on the side at a slight angle to form a branch. Now decoratively pipe the chocolate buttercream lengthways using a star-shaped nozzle to create the look of a tree trunk. Then garnish as desired.
