This variant is perfect for bringing a touch of joy to any occasion, whether it's a celebration or a simple gathering with friends. Total preparation time: 1 hour and 30 minutes Number of servings: 12 Ingredients For the base: - 300 g walnuts (mixed with some hazelnuts) - 6 egg whites - A pinch of salt - 6 tablespoons sugar - 4 tablespoons ground hazelnuts - 4 tablespoons breadcrumbs - 1 tablespoon flour - 1 packet baking powder - Favorite Spekulatius cream (or Nutella, as preferred) For the cream: - 6 egg yolks - 6 tablespoons sugar - 6 tablespoons sweet milk - 100 g dark chocolate (high quality) - 250 ml whipping cream - 1 tablespoon vanilla powdered sugar - 1/2 packet gelatin (optional) - 50 ml sweet milk - Petit Beurre cookies (or any cookies you prefer) For the glaze: - 100 g dark chocolate - 50 ml liquid cream Preparation Step 1: Preparing the base 1. Start by toasting the walnuts in a dry pan over medium heat. Stir frequently to avoid burning. Once they turn golden and begin to emit a pleasant aroma, let them cool slightly, then chop finely. 2. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Line a 20x30 cm baking tray with parchment paper and evenly spread the toasted walnuts on the bottom of the tray. 3. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Gradually add the sugar and continue mixing until the mixture becomes glossy and very dense. 4. In another bowl, mix the ground hazelnuts, breadcrumbs, flour, and baking powder. Pour this mixture over the egg white foam in two batches, gently folding with a spatula. 5. Pour the mixture over the walnuts in the tray and level it gently. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, doing the toothpick test. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready. 6. Remove the cake from the oven, turn it onto a platter, and carefully remove the parchment paper. While it is still warm, spread the Spekulatius cream (or Nutella) on top and let it cool completely. Step 2: Preparing the cream 1. In a saucepan, combine the egg yolks with sugar and milk. Heat over low heat, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens, similar to a pudding. 2. When the cream is ready, add the broken dark chocolate and stir vigorously until completely melted. Let the cream cool. 3. In another bowl, whip the cream with the vanilla powdered sugar until stiff. 4. Hydrate the gelatin in 50 ml of warm milk and, after it has dissolved, add it to the cooled cream. Then, gently fold in the whipped cream. 5. Pour the cream over the walnut base in the tray and level it. Arrange the Petit Beurre cookies on top, side by side, and let the cake chill for 2 hours. Step 3: Preparing the glaze 1. In a small saucepan, combine the broken chocolate with the liquid cream. Heat over low heat and stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the glaze is smooth. 2. Let the glaze cool slightly, then pour it evenly over the chilled cake. Level with a spatula and return to the refrigerator until serving. Serving and suggestions This Deliciu cake is served cold, cut into portions. It pairs perfectly with a cup of aromatic coffee or a fruit tea. Additionally, a scoop of vanilla ice cream or simple whipped cream would perfectly complement this decadent dessert. Useful tips: - If you prefer a gelatin-free version, you can omit it, but the cream may be softer. - Replacing the Spekulatius cream with Nutella is an excellent option for chocolate lovers. - You can experiment with different types of cookies for a personalized taste.
