Preparation
Beat the eggs and hot water for 5 minutes. Add the sugar, vanilla sugar, orange blossom water and a few drops of almond extract and mix with an electric mixer.
In another container, mix the ground almonds, breadcrumbs, baking powder and grated chocolate. Gradually add this mixture to the first mixture, beating until homogenized.
Pour the mixture onto a mold covered with baking paper and place in a preheated oven (2 1 0°C) until cooked.
Remove from the oven and turn out onto a sheet of baking paper sprinkled with icing sugar and peel off the top sheet.
Cook the jam and orange blossom water and spread the top of the cake. Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie (see page 26) with the butter and spread it evenly over the cake. Cut the cake into small squares and decorate them with flaked almonds.
