  • PREPARATION

    The day before you bake your cake, make the vanilla
    cake mix and leave it to rest at 40°F (4°C) for 12 hours.
    Make the vanilla Opalys coating and set it aside.
    Make the streusel and push it through a coarse
    mesh sieve to obtain evenly-sized pieces. Bake in a
    fan-assisted oven at 300°F (150°C) for 30 minutes.
    Line and grease the 18 × 4.5 × 4.5cm molds with beurre manié, then fill them with 260g of vanilla cake mix.
    Put a sheet of baking paper and a tray on top,
    so your cooked cakes have a very flat top.
    Bake for approx. 25 minutes at 320°F (160°C).
    Turn out, then freeze.
    Spread the vanilla streusel evenly over a baking tray
    lined with baking paper.
    Melt the vanilla Opalys coating at 105°F (40°C), then use
    a skewer to help you dip the cakes in it upside-down.
    Place the cake on the streusel before the coating sets
    completely.
    Leave to set at 40°F (4°C) before turning the cake over.

  • DECORATIONS

    Spread a fine layer of pre-set Opalys couverture on
    a marble slab and sprinkle it with vanilla powder.
    Before it completely sets, make it into shavings using
    a melon baller.
