COFFEE CAKE MIX

75g invert sugar

160g clarified butter

At the same time, beat the egg whites with the sugar.



Then combine the two mixtures while gradually adding the potato starch.



Bake in a frame in a convection oven at 150°C (300°F) for approx. 20 minutes.

05

COFFEE SYRUP

335g espresso
165g sugar

Use the coffee and sugar to make a syrup, then set aside.

Assembly and finishing

Use the tempered BAHIBÉ 46% couverture to mold Classic Ornament halves (Ref. 12435). Use a fluted cutter to pierce each side of the half-ornaments. Spread out the Shortbread Mixture (to a thickness of approx. 2.5mm) then cut out strips of 2 x 18cm. Store in the freezer. Use the Shortbread to line 5.5cm rings. Bake the Shortbread circles for approx. 15 minutes at 150°C (300°F) on a micro-perforated baking mat. Store in a dry place. Cut up the Coffee Cake into cubes then soak them in the Coffee Syrup for a few minutes. Melt a portion of the Namelaka so that you can drizzle some onto the plate. Put the Shortbread ring in place and fill it with 40g of Namelaka. Put the half-ornament in place. Make a 30g droplet of Namelaka inside the molded half-ornament. Put 5 cubes of Coffee Cake in place and add a quenelle of Coffee Bean Ice Cream. Finish off with a square of gold leaf.
