I forgot all about Granatsplitter, we had them as kids and they were fantastic, or so I thought.
Then, a couple of weeks ago, when I made this marble-cake, it just would not budge out of the pan. I ended up cutting all around the top to get it out. Very frustrating!
The cake still tasted great and did not look too bad, (one could still recognize that it as a marble cake), but now I had all those cake pieces what I had to cut off the edges of my cake. First I thought a dessert with layers of cake and pudding, but in my frustration I remembered the Granatsplitter.
So, that weekend we had not only marble cake, but I also tried myself on a Granatsplitter. I ended up using the cake pieces, I also had to cut off the ends to have enough crumbs for my trial.
The pastry turned out great. If you have left over pound cake, marble cake or something similar, you should try it.
I will definitely make them again and next time hopefully without having to butcher a marble cake.
It was only half of the recipe and it made about 6 of them. I used a German pudding package, and the whole package called for 500 ml of milk, however I used only about 3/4 of the suggested amount.
Granatsplitter:
750 ml. milk ( 375 ml.)
2 pkg. chocolate pudding, not instant ( 1 pkg )
2 tsp. sugar (1 tsp.)
300 g cake rests, coarse crumbs ( 150g )
dash of rum
round cookies ( I used Butterkekse I know they are square, but it was the only cookie I had at hand. Remember, this was not planned at all. )
Chocolate to cover the Granatsplitter
Cook the pudding with the sugar according to the package directions ( with only 3/4 of the suggested milk ). Let it cool a bit and mix in the cake crumbs and the rum. Mound the " dough "on the cookies and let them rest for a while to set. Then cover the mounds in chocolate. Let the chocolate harden and enjoy.
