Instructions:

For the beetle bean tart with pomegranate jelly, first beat eggs with sugar and a pinch of salt for about 10 minutes until foamy. Carefully fold in the flour and pour the mixture into a prepared cake tin. Bake at 180 °C in a preheated oven for about 20 minutes.

Beat the eggs with sugar and rum until foamy. Soak the gelatine leaves in cold water. Process the beetle beans with the mixer to a puree. Stir the grated chocolate and beetle bean puree into the egg mixture. Squeeze out the soaked gelatin, melt it over a mild heat and then stir it into the mixture as well. Whip the whipped cream until stiff and finally fold into the mixture.

Cut the cooled cake base in half with a knife or a cake harp. Return the bottom half to the cake pan and cover evenly with half of the beetle bean mixture. Top with the top half of the cake layer and spread with the rest of the beetle bean mixture. Refrigerate the cake until the beetle bean mixture is firm.

Meanwhile, boil the pomegranate juice with sugar and stir in the gelatin leaves, also previously soaked in cold water. Allow the jelly mixture to cool to room temperature and carefully pour over the beetle bean mixture. Refrigerate the beetle bean tart with pomegranate jelly for a few more hours.
