A special treat during the pre Christmas times here in Germany are Dominos. The base is Lebkuchen , topped with a fruit jelly and either marzipan or an other wíth cream layer. They are covered in dark or milk chocolate. Since I hate marzipan, I looked for the different ones and found some.
I never thought that kind of sweet treat is good for baking. The different layers prevent that- so I assumed. But I was wrong. In one of the womens magazines - " Freundin" or girlfriend, I found this recipe.
Since I bought a new bundt cake tin just 3 weeks ago, I was ready to start.
Use a standmixer.
recipe:
150 g dark chocolate dominos, 75 g 60% chocolate, 150 g canned or frozen cherries
4 eggs, 175 g sugar, 250 g soft unsalted butter
350 g flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp baking powder, pinch of salt
50 g ground almonds, 125 ml Irish Mist or any other kind of Whisky liqueur
100 g compound chocolate for the decor later
Cut the dominos in halves, drain the cherries. Combine sugar and butter until fluffy, add eggs one after an other, beating in between.
Mix flour, almonds, salt, soda and baking powder and add in 2 stages to the mix.
Take out the paddle and and use a scraper to clean the sides of the bowl. Now follow with liquid, chopped chocolate, cherries and dominos. Use a well sprayed bundt cake tin and put the batter in.
Bake for 60 min, depending on your oven. When the cake has completely cooled down, melt the couverture and add a little coconut oil and brush the top of the cake.
