    Separate eggs. Beat the egg whites until stiff, add 1 pinch of salt and 200 g sugar. Stir in egg yolks first, then cocoa briefly. Mix 5 tbsp. flour and baking powder, sieve over the egg cream and fold in carefully. Line the bottom of a springform pan (28 cm Ø) with baking paper. Fill in sponge mixture and smooth it down. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: see manufacturer) for about 35 minutes. Let it cool down and remove from the tin. Wash and dry the mould.

    Whisk the warm butter with the whisk of the hand mixer until white-creamy. Stir the pudding until smooth. Stir in tablespoons bit by bit. Cut the sponge cake base in half horizontally. Place a cake ring around the lower cake base. Spread half of the cream on top and smooth it down. Place the meringue base on top. Spread the rest of the cream on top. Finish with the top, dark cake base and chill for about 2 hours.

    Cut the chocolates in half. Roast the hazelnuts and remaining walnuts briefly in a pan without fat, take them out and let them cool down. Heat cream and coconut oil. Chop the chocolate coating, add to the cream and remove from the heat. After approx. 5 minutes mix to a smooth glaze. Cover the cake with the icing, leaving 2 tablespoons of icing aside. Decorate the cake with pralines, hazelnuts and walnuts. Cover with the rest of the icing in strips. Chill for about 1 hour.
