60 min
medium
6 servings
Servings4
300g spelt flour
3 whole eggs
75g icing sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
100g Greek yogurt
30g seed oil
1 sachet baking powder
vanilla and coffee butter cream to taste
Alchermens to soak to taste
icing sugar to taste
fresh raspberries to taste
1

Put the eggs in a planetary mixer (or use a large bowl and beat the eggs with an electric whisk).

2

Beat the eggs for about 1 minute, then add the icing sugar and beat at maximum speed, until the mixture doubles in size.

3

Add the seed oil, Greek yogurt, and vanilla, mix everything at low speed for another 30 seconds.

4

Incorporate the spelt flour mixed with the baking powder, all sifted in 2 steps, mixing delicately with a spatula from the bottom up so as not to deflate the mixture.

5

In a cake pan with a sheet of baking paper at the base, level the mixture and bake in a preheated static oven at 150/160° for about 45 minutes.

6

Once the spelt bread is cooked, let it cool well, then remove the upper crust with a saw knife, cut the spelt bread lengthwise, and recompose the two bases.

7

Place a heart-shaped paper template on top of the spelt bread, remove the excess to form a heart shape.

8

Cut the internal part in the shape of a heart.

9

Sprinkle the various halves with the Alchermens and fill with the two butter creams (vanilla and coffee).

10

Complete the garnish with fresh raspberries and icing sugar.
