Preparation method

How do you make this?

Biscuit:

Preheat the oven to 175°C.

Put all the ingredients for the biscuit in a bowl and mix well for 5 minutes until you have a smooth light mixture.

Pour the batter into 2 greased, floured springform pans.

Bake for 40 minutes and let cool on a rack.

Popcorn:

Heat the oil in a tall pot, stir in the corn kernels and place the lid on. Let it pop.

Shake the pot regularly while popping so that the kernels do not burn.

Mix in the honey and salt and let cool.

Icing:

Put all the ingredients in a bowl and mix vigorously for 5 minutes.

Stick the first layer of biscuit onto a plate with some icing and spread icing all around.

Place the next biscuit on top and spread icing all around again.

Repeat this with the last 2 biscuits.

Scrape off the excess from the biscuit with a spatula to achieve a 'naked' effect.

You can also just leave it as is if you prefer.

Place the popcorn in a pile and press down a bit.

Tips

First divide the popcorn on the plates before you cut 😉 It is not a dough that comes up. That is why I like to have a lot of layers on top of each other, and everyone can enjoy it in the classroom. That makes me happy! With this recipe you make 2 biscuits. I made it double for a higher cake.
