The story behind this recipe
I found this recipe in a cookbook (that’s where you find the best recipes, not on the internet). I tweaked the sponge a little, but I promise I didn’t ruin anything. You need a little patience while the pandișpan cools down, but otherwise, it’s a PIECE OF CAKE!
For 8 servings, you need:
For the Pandișpan ⬇️
6 eggs
6 tablespoons sugar
5 tablespoons flour
6 tablespoons oil
6 tablespoons water
5-6 tablespoons coconut flakes
1 sachet baking powder
Vanilla
A pinch of salt
For the chocolate crust ⬇️
400 grams of whichever chocolate you prefer. I used 52% cocoa.
To make the pandișpan, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and the sugar, adding it gradually. Continue by adding the oil, coconut flakes, water, and vanilla. Once uniform, add the sifted flour and the baking powder. Pour the mixture into a tray lined with parchment paper and bake for 20 minutes at 180 degrees. When the sponge is ready, wrap it in plastic wrap and let it cool undisturbed overnight. The next morning, portion the bars. The size is optional. You can cut smaller pieces and dip them in chocolate on one side only. This is where your imagination comes in. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Take each piece one by one and cover it completely with the glaze. Keep it in the fridge until you choose to eat them. They last for a week, but from personal experience, I assure you that you’ll 'get rid' of them in just a few hours.
