Ingredients:

• 5.30 OZ (150 grams) flour
• 5.30 OZ (150 grams) potato starch.
• 3 eggs
• 5.30 OZ (150 grams) sugar
•  ½ teaspoon of baking powder
• 7 OZ (200 grams) of dark chocolate
• 8.80 OZ (250 grams)  whipping cream or  Dolceneve Paneangeli
• 2 tablespoons colored sugar to decorate
• 1 stick of marzipan
• 2 tablespoons icing sugar

Time: 45 min
Oven: 350 ° F

Before preparing the cake think the word you want to dial, count the letters, and accordingly if each letter will be in a square of 2 inch see if there is enough basis or if you need to do more.
I from this base of about about 11 x 17 inch I got 15 squares.

Whip eggs with sugar with the mixer until creamy frothy.
Add the starch and flour slowly, the dough should be smooth enough, if it was too hard to add one or two tablespoons of milk.
Add the vanilla and baking powder.
Cover with wax paper a rectangular  baking sheet  (about 11 x 17 inch )
Spread the mix evenly.
Bake at 350 ° F for 15/20 minutes, must just browning.

Remove from oven and let cool.

Melt the chocolate in a double boiler, meanwhile cut the letters to make the words you want: roll out the marzipan with a rolling pin, helping with icing sugar to prevent sticking. After having obtained a sheet of about 0,40 inch thick and cut out the letters with stencils or with a boxcutter. I did it with the boxcutter and I assure you that it is not difficult. The trick is to cut the first of the squares of about 1,20 inch or the size in which you want the letters and then by squares affect the letters, so they will all be the same size.

Now trimmed the cake so to obtain a rectangle and cut into squares of about 2 inch, place them on a wire rack and cover with dark chocolate.

Whip the cream Dolceneve or whipping cream and a pocket formed many small tufts on a platter.
Decorate with colored sugar.
Place the letters on the squares of cake, the chocolate must not yet have solidified completely, so that the letters remain attached.
Carefully compose the writing on the dish covered with cream and let stand in refrigerator for at least half an hour!
