Amandine (Romanian: amandină) is a Romanian chocolate layered cake filled with chocolate, caramel and fondant cream.
The original recipe has layers of chocolate sponge cake soaked in rum flavored caramel syrup.
The cream filling is a combination of chocolate buttercream mixed with fondant.
The assembled layers are glazed with a combination of fondant with chocolate and rum or rum essence, poured over the cake while still slightly liquid.
[citation needed] These cakes also have a traditional decoration on top with a little bit of the cream and a diamond-shaped piece of thin chocolate.
