Amandine

Amandine is a cherished Romanian chocolate layered cake that exudes indulgence. It boasts a delightful mix of chocolate, caramel, and fondant cream, with almond cream occasionally making an appearance. Amandine can be enjoyed as charming single-serving mini cakes or as an impressive large cake.

The magic starts with layers made from a caramel syrup, flour, cocoa, and an egg-based batter, all enhanced with a hint of rum or rum essence. These layers are then soaked in a caramel and rum essence syrup, ensuring every bite is moist and flavorful.

Between these delectable layers, you'll find a rich chocolate buttercream and fondant filling. The cake is constructed in alternating layers: cake, cream, cake, cream, cake. To finish, it's topped with a glossy glaze made from fondant, chocolate, and additional rum essence.

A classic Amandine is adorned with a dollop of cream and a diamond-shaped piece of thin chocolate on top. These cakes are a staple in Romanian sweet shops, celebrated for their rich, decadent flavors that elevate any occasion.
