Add the flour to the egg/sugar mixture, then the eggwhites, finally the melted butter. Draw 5 circles on parchment paper. Divide the dough into 5 equal parts, and spread inside the circles. Bake for about 5 minutes at 200C (390F). Then peel the paper off. Mix wine, sugar, cornstarch, egg yolk and liquor in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Add to pudding. Cream butter and shortening. Knead almond paste with a little bit of milk, until soft. Mix with butter/shortening, then add pudding mixture little by little. Mix until nice and fluffy. When the cake layers have cooled off, put cream between all layers, as well as on top and around the cake. Then glaze the whole cake with chocolate.
