  1. 1

    Put 200 grams of honey in a mixing bowl and heat it in a water bath. Add lukewarm fat and stir until frothy. Stir in six eggs bit by bit and whip until creamy. Dissolve the coffee in two tablespoons of hot water and stir into the foam.

  2. 2

    Mix two tablespoons of cocoa, hazelnuts, flour and baking powder and stir into the foam. Spread on a greased baking tray. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ gas: level 3) for 20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Let it cool down on a cake rack. For the cream, soak gelatine in cold water. Separate remaining eggs. Mix egg yolk, remaining honey, cream cheese, quark, vanilla pulp and liqueur. Squeeze the gelatine, dissolve and stir into the cream.

  4. 4

    Whip cream and egg whites separately until stiff. As soon as the cream begins to gel, fold in one after the other. Place aluminium foil as a border around the cake base. Spread the cream on the cake base, refrigerate for two hours.

  5. 5

    Then cut into diamonds (ten centimetres long). Dust the tips with remaining cocoa. Results in 40 pieces.
