Preparation

Bake the cake base

1
Preheat the oven to 160°C convection oven. Beat the butter, sugar and vanilla sugar until fluffy.
2
Gradually add the eggs and mix in.
3
Mix flour and baking powder, sift and fold into the mixture alternately with the almond flakes.
4
Pour into a round cake tin with a diameter of approx. 15cm (e.g. Lurch Flexiform cake tin set of 3) and bake for 20 minutes. Leave to cool on a rack.

Prepare the cream filling

1
Soak the gelatine. Mix the coconut milk, quark, mascarpone and sugar to a cream.

Warm the gelatine in a saucepan with a small amount of the cream (a few tablespoons). Remove the saucepan from the heat, stir in another part of the cream and then pour the contents of the saucepan back into the remaining cream and fold in.

Whip the cream until stiff and fold into the coconut cream. Slightly moisten the hemisphere mould and line with cling film. Pour in the coconut cream.
