And best of all: it’s very easy to make!
Ingredients
• 150 g Rausch single-origin chocolate
• 150 g butter
• 150 g sugar
• 3 eggs
• 200 g flour
• 1 tsp baking powder

Here’s how:
1. Prepare the batter: Melt the Rausch single-origin chocolate with the butter. Beat the sugar and eggs until light and frothy, then stir in the chocolate and butter mixture. Add the flour, baking powder and salt and mix everything into a smooth batter.
2. Bake: Pour the batter into a greased cake tin and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (top/bottom heat) for about 25–30 minutes. Then leave to cool.
3. Pumpkin purée & peaches: Spread the cake with pumpkin purée. Cut the peach halves into slices and arrange them evenly on top.
4. Cream layer: Whip the whipping cream with the vanilla sugar until stiff and spoon it over the peaches. Finally, sprinkle the Rausch chocolate pearls on top.
5. Final touch: If you like it particularly autumnal, you can spread a thin layer of pumpkin purée over the cream.
