Beat butter with sugar and egg yolks very creamy. Beat 125 ml whipping cream to stiff peaks and add the cognac. Fold the cream into the butter.

Place in a not too large springform pan a layer lady fingers so the complete bottom is covered. Spoon in some cream and divide well. Cover with a layer lady fingers and another layer of the cream. Continue till all ingredients are used. End with a topping of crumbled lady fingers.

Place the cake at least 24 hours in the fridge. Beat the rest of the whipping cream with vanilla sugar and "Whip it" to peaks. Coat the sides and use the rest for topping. Sprinkle with grated chocolate powder.

Tip for using the egg whites:

Pavlova

Almond macaroons
