Preparation Steps
- Method for the base:- Sift together the flour and baking powder.
Cream together the sugar and butter and add the vanilla extract.
- Combine the flour mixture with the butter mixture quickly with cold hands or a fork.
- Press the mixture into a greased 10 inch springform tin.
- Method for the filling:- Beat together all of the ingredients excluding the cocoa powder and ground cardamom until it has thickened.
Kurma suggests not to overmix this.
- Place half of the mixture into a separate bowl and add the cocoa powder and cardamom powder.
Combine thoroughly.
- Place the white layer of filling over the uncooked base and finally the chocolate filling over the white layer.
- Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 1 hours until set (I left mine for 1 hour because my fan oven cooks things a little quicker).
- Allow to cool and refrigerate for day.
You will just have to resist the temptation of diving right in!.
