Ingredients

Cake layers:

125 g sugar

5 eggs

125 g flour

1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Cake cream:

4 eggs

125 g sugar

2 generous spoons cocoa

300 g whipped butter

Top:

8 hazelnuts

1/3 cup sugar

Directions

Beat the yolks with sugar until sugar is completely incorporated (approx. 15 min). Add gradually the flour and the vanilla extract. Separately beat the egg white and add it to the mixture.

Butter and flour round baking pans and set oven at 375F. The mixture will be enough for 5-6 layers of cake. You will have to bake them separately . Spread a very thin layer of mixture (if you want you can divide in advance the mixture in 5) and bake it for 7 - 10 min. You may need to bake it in 2 or 3 series ( I had 3 pans available).

Cool the layers and start on the cream.

Beat the eggs with sugar and cocoa at bain-marie or in a double boiler pan over low heat. You have to keep on beating this mixture until you get the mixture to the consistency of a cream. Do not overcook - you don't want an omelet! Set it aside to cool and keep on beating until cold. Separately beat the butter and add the cocoa mixture 1 spoon at a time.

Alternate the layers with the cream and the last layer set on the side.

Warm 1/3 cup sugar to caramelize it and pour over the last layer. With a knife mark down the slices - it will be easier to cut it.Set the last layer on top of the cake. Drop hazelnuts in the caramel and decorate the cake.

Sounds great, the cake layers sound very delicate and soft as air is incorporated with the egg whites and the cream sounds really good, and easy by the way, thanks for this one Helena!
