Step-by-step directions

Prepare the sponge cake:
1/preheat oven to 180°.
2/mix the yolks with sugar and flour.
3/beat the whites until stiff peaks form.
4/add the melted butter and then the beaten whites.
5/divide the batter in two and put in a 12/16 frame and bake.
6/when removed from oven let cool outside the frame because you will need to bake the second batter for 10' as well
7/the 2nd batter will cool in the frame.
*during this time prepare the butter cream.
8/the butter must be soft and mix it with the egg yolk and coffee flavoring then add the icing sugar, mix well and work it with a fork to dissolve the sugar well.
I have been doing this for 40 years and have never failed. thank you grandma lol.
8/once the sponge cake in the frame has cooled, spread the butter cream on top +- 1cm place the second sponge cake on top and press down a little.
9/run a knife all around the frame and remove it.
10/cut into 4/4cm pieces making 12 pieces.
with a knife "level" the 4 sides of your square and coat them in the praline, do the same with all of them.
do the same on top and sprinkle with praline and garnish with a chocolate coffee bean.
Bon Appétit.
