- 5 eggs (approx. 250 gram)
- 105 gram unsalted butter
- 210 ml water

Preheat the oven to 175°C (convection oven 160°C). Ingredients need to be at room temperature. Put 1kg mixture, 5 eggs, 105 gram butter and 210ml water in a bowl. Mix on low speed for 3 minutes to a thick batter. Add 30 chunks milk, 30 gram chunks dark, 30 grams drops dark, 30 grams drops white, 30 gram melts milk and 30 gram melts white to the batter. Line a baking pan with buttered baking paper and fill with 1/3 of the batter. Bake the brownie in 25 minutes. Let it cool down on a grid. The brownie remains reasonable soggy on the inside due to the addition of the melts. Repeat this two more times until you have three brownies.
Bring 200 ml cream to the boil, remove the pan form the heat. Add all the 400 grams of white chocolate at once. Stir vigorously until there are no lumps anymore. Let it cool down for a night, it should have the thickness of a chocolate paste. Use this ganache as the filling of the cake.
Stack the brownies on each other with a layer of ganache between. Insert three dowels in the cake and cut them to length with the secateurs. This is against sliding.
Cover the top of the cake with a thick layer of ganache and the sides with a thin layer.
Take a decorating bag, cut the top off and insert tip 1M and fill with the ganache. Pipe rosettes along the cake. As finish you pipe a shell border along the bottom.
