Preparation
Making the Batter
Beat the egg whites, salt and water, add sugar and vanilla sugar and beat until stiff. Mix the egg yolks with a little water and add to the egg white mixture.
Mix the flour, starch, cocoa powder and baking powder, sieve and carefully fold into the mixture.
Pour the dough into a rectangular springform pan and bake for about 30 minutes in a preheated oven at about 180 °C. Let the base cool and cut into 20 bars.
Making the Black Forest Dessert
Mix the cherry juice, 20 g of the cherry purée, sugar to taste and the agar-agar, let it steep briefly, bring to a boil and then cool. Then mix it into a homogeneous mixture. Mix the cherries with the rest of the purée and sweeten with a little sugar if necessary.
Whip the Oldenburger Whipping Cream with the vanilla sugar and kirschwasser and spoon it into a piping bag with a round nozzle. Spray the kirschwasser cream onto the bars. For each serving, join two bars like a sandwich and put them on their sides on a plate.
The Final Touch
Decorate with cherries and cherry purée and serve garnished with mint.
