Chef's Note

This cake improves if you let it "age" for 2-3 days in the fridge so that the flavors develop.

It should be kept cold until served.

"Maria" biscuits are called for in the recipe, but you can substitute any dry cookie. They should be round to create the stylized flower shape.

- 250 ml / 1 cup strong coffee

Method
  1. Cream the egg yolks with the sugar and butter. Refrigerate.
