Ingredients
For the Layers:
- 3 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons of sugar
- 2 tablespoons of honey
- 50 g ground nuts
- A pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- Flour as needed (approximately 300 g)

For the Cream:
- 500 ml whipping cream
- 50 g powdered sugar
- 200 ml liquid cream
- 150 g ground nuts
- 1 vanilla essence

Decoration:
- Glaze of your choice (chocolate, caramel, or plain)

Steps to Prepare
Step 1: Prepare the Layers
1. In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar and honey using a mixer until the mixture becomes creamy and light in color.
2. Add the ground nuts, salt, and baking soda, mixing well to combine the ingredients.
3. Start adding flour gradually, mixing with a spatula or wooden spoon until you get a suitable dough that does not stick to your hands.
4. Divide the dough into four equal parts. Roll each part out on a sheet of parchment paper to form thin layers.
5. Preheat the oven to 180°C and bake each layer for about 10 minutes or until they become lightly browned. Let them cool.

Step 2: Prepare the Cream
1. In a deep bowl, whip the cream with the powdered sugar until fluffy.
2. Gradually add the liquid cream and continue mixing until the cream reaches a firm consistency.
3. Fold in the ground nuts and vanilla essence, mixing gently to avoid losing air in the mixture.

Step 3: Assemble the Cake
1. Place the first layer on a flat surface and spread a third of the cream on top.
2. Repeat this process with the other layers, placing cream between each layer.
3. Once you finish assembling the cake, place a heavy object (a thick book or a tray) on top to help even out the layers. Let it cool in the refrigerator for a few hours, preferably overnight.

Step 4: Decorate the Cake
1. After the cake has set, you can glaze it with melted chocolate or leave it plain, as desired.
2. Cut into servings and enjoy!

Practical Tips
- Nuts: Choose fresh nuts for a more intense flavor. You can use roasted nuts for an extra aroma.
- Cream: Make sure the cream is well chilled before whipping to achieve perfect consistency.
- Vegan Option: You can replace the eggs with a mixture of mashed banana or applesauce and the cream with a plant-based alternative.
- Glaze: Experiment with different glazes - a dark chocolate glaze will give an elegant touch, while a caramel glaze will add a delicious contrast.
