Name: Nut cake with Parisian cream: Delicate, moist and irresistibly chocolatey
Yield: 1
Ingredients: 5 eggs; 120 g granulated sugar; 100 g ground walnuts; 100 g all-purpose flour; ½ packet baking powder; 100 ml water; 100 ml oil; 2 tablespoons cocoa; A pinch of salt; 3 tubs whipping cream (33 %) – total approx. 600 ml; 50 g cocoa; 2 tablespoons granulated sugar; 200 g ground walnuts; 100 g sugar; 100 ml rum; Boiled water as needed (approx. 2–4 tablespoons); Grated chocolate or chocolate glaze

Preparation procedure

Base Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt into stiff peaks. Gradually add the sugar and whisk until thick and glossy. In a bowl, whisk in the yolks, water and oil. Add the sifted flour, baking powder, cocoa and ground nuts. Gently fold. Spread the batter on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 180 °C for about 15 minutes. Let cool completely.
Parisian cream (requires resting overnight) Pour the whipping cream into a pot, add the sugar and cocoa. Bring to a boil while stirring constantly and simmer briefly (approx. 1 minute). Let cool completely and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, ideally overnight. The next day, whip into a firm cream.
Nut layer Dissolve the sugar in a little boiled water to create a thick syrup. Add the rum and ground nuts. The mixture should be thick but easily spreadable.
Assembling the dessert Spread the nut layer evenly over the baked base. Layer the whipped Parisian cream on top. Sprinkle the surface with grated chocolate or coat with glaze. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1–2 hours to set.
