 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
 80      g             Butter
 80      g             Sugar
  1                    Vanilla sugar
  6                    Egg yolks
200      g             Ground almonds
  1      ts            Baking powder
100      g             Half-bitter baking chocolate
  1      tb            Rum
  1      tb            Brandy
  6                    Egg whites
    1/2  l             Whipping cream
100      g             Egg liquer
100      g             Chocolate crumbs

 Cream butter. Add sugar and vanilla sugar little at a time. Mix in
 egg-yolks. Mix almonds with baking powder and stir together with
 the chocolate into the dough. Add rum and brandy. Beat the
 egg-whites until stiff and stir carefully into the dough.

 Fill the dough into a round baking-form covered with baking-paper
 (paper that prevents sticking). Bake it in a preheated oven for
 about 60 minutes at 175 C.

 Let it cool down (or out?).

 Whip cream until stiff and put onto the cooled cake. Pour egg
 liquer over it.

 Decorate the torte with some cream and sprinkle it with the
 chocolate crumbs.

 The original recipe called for 2 envelopes of cream hardener. That
 stuff helps to get the cream get hard more quickly and staying so
 longer. Unfortunately I don't know what it consists of.
