The legendary German cake reimagined as a composed plated dessert. Rich dark chocolate mousse sits atop a thin crisp tuile base, surrounded by a sharp kirsch-cherry foam, whipped mascarpone cream, and shards of almond-meringue crisps. Every component honours the original, but plating and technique elevate it to theatre.
