Punch Slice

Preparation of the white sponge batter:

As the first step, take 8 eggs and separate the yolks from the whites.

Put the whites of 8 eggs into a larger bowl and add a pinch of salt.

Whip the whites into a foam.

Then take 8 yolks, add 8 tbsp of granulated sugar to them and whip a foam.

Gradually add the whipped whites and 8 tbsp of sifted semi-coarse flour to the whipped yolks.

Add 15 g of baking powder.

Mix everything well, gently and with love.

Divide the batter into two halves and pour onto two equal trays.

Bake the batter for 15-20 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius.

Preparation of the red sponge batter:

As the first step, take 6 eggs and separate the yolks from the whites.

Put the whites of 6 eggs into a larger bowl and add a pinch of salt.

Whip the whites into a foam.

Then take 6 yolks, add 6 tbsp of granulated sugar to them and whip a foam.

Gradually add the whipped whites and 6 tbsp of sifted semi-coarse flour to the whipped yolks.

Add 1 tsp of red food coloring to the flour.

Add 15 g of baking powder.

Mix everything well, gently and with love.

Pour the batter onto a tray lined with baking paper.

Bake the batter for 15-20 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius.

Preparation of the syrup:

Add 350 ml of water to a pot.

Add 200 g of granulated sugar, 3 tbsp of rum or rum aroma and 1 tsp of red food coloring to the water.

While stirring constantly, bring it to a boil and turn off the stove.

Assembling the layers:

Take all the bases and cut them in half.

Spread a layer of jam onto the top of the white base.

Place the pink base on the jam-spread white base and pour the syrup over it (carefully, using a spoon).

Place the white base spread with jam onto the pink base, so the jam touches the pink dough.

Place a second tray on top of the slices and add a weight.

Let the slices rest in the fridge overnight.

Glaze:

Sift 300 g of powdered sugar.

Add 50 ml of water + 10 ml of rum aroma to the sugar.

Add 1 tsp of red food coloring.

Blend everything well with a mixer.

Spread the glaze onto the punch slices.

Add decorations on top of the glaze and serve.
