Method

Cake

  1. Whip the yolks with buttermilk cocoa, flour, baking soda, and the sweetener. Whisk the whites with a pinch of salt until stiff. Carefully combine both masses.
  2. Bake the cake at 392°F (200°C) for 35-50 minutes.
  3. Check the readiness with a match (it must be dry). Wrap the cooled biscuit in a cling film and leave it in the fridge overnight.

Jam

Defrost and chop the frozen berries, put them in a saucepan with other ingredients, and cook until thickened.

Filling

Soak hazelnuts in water for 4-5 hours, then peel and roast them in a dry pan until golden.

Frosting

Mix all the ingredients until smooth.

Cake assembling

  • Cut the cooled sponge biscuit into 4 layers
  • Spread the frosting over the first layer, forming the borders, and put the jam in the center.
  • Spread the frosting over the second layer.
  • With the third one, do the same as with the first layer.
  • Decorate the cake with  nuts, and place it in the fridge overnight.

Enjoy!
