Ingredients

Servings: 12
  • 2 Eggs (size M)
  • 80 g Sugar
  • 40 g Flour
  • 25 g Cornstarch
  • 1/2 TEASPOON Baking Powder
  • 750 g Whipped cream
  • 1 package Vanillin sugar
  • 3 packages Cream stabiliser
  • 150 g ground hazelnuts
  • 100 g Whole milk couverture
  • 10 g Coconut oil
  • 15 Hazelnut kernels
  • 50 g Dark chocolate coating
  • 50 g white couverture
  • baking paper
  • 7-10 Tbsp extra strong aluminium foil

Directions

  1. 1

    Separate eggs. Beat the egg whites and 1 1/2 tablespoons of water until stiff, adding 50 g sugar. Stir in egg yolks. Mix flour, starch and baking powder and fold into the mixture. Line half of the baking tray with baking parchment, fold a bar of aluminium foil and place in front of the baking parchment. Spread the mixture evenly on the laid out half.

  2. 2

    Bake the sponge cake in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: level 3) for approx. 8 minutes. Remove and let cool off. In the meantime, whip cream until stiff and allow vanilla sugar, 30 g sugar and cream firming agent to trickle in and carefully fold in the ground hazelnuts. Put the nut cream in a cool place. Remove the sponge cake from the baking paper and place on a large board. Cover with a baking frame if necessary. Spread the cream mixture on top and smooth it down. Chill the cake for 1 hour. Coarsely chop the milk chocolate coating and melt it with coconut oil over a warm water bath and let it cool slightly. Spread the couverture, except for 1 tablespoon, on the cake, smooth it down with a pallet and refrigerate for 1 hour. Pull the hazelnuts through the rest of the couverture and place them on a small plate lined with baking paper and chill.

Coarsely chop the milk chocolate coating and melt it with coconut oil over a warm water bath and let it cool slightly. Spread the couverture, except for 1 tablespoon, on the cake, smooth it down with a pallet and refrigerate for 1 hour. Pull the hazelnuts through the rest of the couverture and place them on a small plate lined with baking paper and chill. Chop the dark and white couverture and melt each over a warm water bath. Place alternating strips on a marble board, spread thinly and chill. When the couverture is just firm, use a spatula to remove rolls. Place in a cold place. Take the cake out of the fridge, cut it into pieces and decorate with the coated hazelnuts and chocolate rolls
