The recipe can be found online. For example:

- While stirring, add 2 eggs, 1 pinch vanilla-sugar, 1 pinch salt.
- Mix 1 package powder for instant vanilla-pudding with a dash of milk. Whisk until creamy. Stir into dough.
- Mix 250g flour and 1 pinch of baking soda. Stir into dough. Add a little bit extra flour if the dough is too soft.

- 15-20 minutes at ~180°C.

Cover one side in dark chocolate icing and the other side in sugar-icing (lemon juice + fine icing sugar).
