Instructions:

For the chocolate cake, first prepare the mixture. Beat the butter with the powdered sugar, couverture, vanilla sugar and salt with a hand mixer (beaters) until creamy. Beat in the yolks one at a time.

Whip the egg whites, gradually add the sugar and beat until stiff. Add the beaten egg whites to the butter mixture, sift in the flour and fold in with a wooden spoon.

Place a variable heart frame (24 cm Ø) on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Pour in the mixture and smooth it down.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (top/bottom heat or 160°C hot air). Put the tray in the lower half of the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes.

Cut the cooled cake in half 2 times.

Whip the cream with cream stiffener and spread on the cake base.

Place the second cake layer on top and spread with half of the jam. Assemble with the remaining cake plate.

Spread the cake with the remaining jam and place on a cake rack.

Mix the glaze with whipped cream and glaze the cake with it.

Use pearls to decorate a heart in the glaze while it is still soft. Fill the whipped cream into a piping bag with a 6 mm Ø nozzle and pipe dots.

Decorate the chocolate cake with sugar hearts and Dr. Oetker decorating flowers, for example.
