Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 20 minutes
Total time: 50 minutes
Number of servings: 12

Ingredients:

For the base:
- 6 eggs
- A pinch of salt
- 5 tablespoons of water
- 6 tablespoons of sugar
- 4 tablespoons of oil
- 6 tablespoons of flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder + vinegar
- 2 tablespoons cocoa

For the cream:
- 500 ml cream
- 1 large tablespoon of honey
- 2 sachets of cream stabilizer
- 2 tablespoons of milk

For the glaze:
- 120 g chocolate
- 70 g butter
- 3 tablespoons of milk
- 1 tablespoon of cold water

For the caramel sauce:
- 4 tablespoons of sugar (for caramel)
- 5 tablespoons of nuts (for caramelized nuts)

Preparation Steps:

1. Preparing the base:
Start by separating the egg whites from the yolks. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt using an electric mixer until you achieve a firm consistency. Gradually add the sugar and water, continuing to mix until you form a shiny meringue.

2. In another bowl, cream the yolks with the oil until creamy. Add this mixture over the meringue, gently folding it in using a spatula to avoid losing air from the egg whites.

3. Sift half of the flour, add the baking powder mixed with vinegar, and the remaining flour. Gently mix, then add the cocoa. The mixture will be slightly thicker, but this is normal.

4. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and pour in the base mixture. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 20 minutes, rotating the tray halfway through for even baking. Check with a toothpick; if it comes out clean, the base is ready!

5. Preparing the cream:
In a large bowl, whip the cream with the two sachets of stabilizer and honey until you achieve a firm consistency. Add the milk and gently fold in with a spatula to incorporate well.

6. Once the base has completely cooled, pour half of the whipped cream on top and level the surface. Refrigerate while you prepare the glaze.

7. Preparing the glaze:
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler, add the butter and milk. Mix well until you have a homogeneous mixture. Remove from heat and add a tablespoon of cold water, allowing it to cool slightly. The glaze will thicken, but make sure to stir constantly to avoid crust formation.

8. When the glaze has cooled sufficiently, pour it evenly over the whipped cream. Let it cool until it sets slightly.

9. Preparing the caramel sauce and caramelized nuts:
In a saucepan, caramelize the 4 tablespoons of sugar. Once it turns golden, add the toasted nuts and quickly mix to coat well. Pour the mixture onto parchment paper and allow to cool. Once cooled, chop the caramelized nuts using a food processor or by wrapping them in a plastic bag.

10. Once the chocolate cream has set, add the remaining whipped cream on top, scattering the caramelized nuts over the caramel sauce. Gently press to adhere.

11. Cooling:
Leave the cake in the refrigerator for a few hours, preferably overnight, to set and blend the flavors.

Serving:
Cut the cake into squares and serve it cold, alongside a cup of coffee or tea. If you want to add a touch of elegance, you can serve it with warm chocolate sauce or vanilla ice cream.

Practical tips:
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for an even mixture.
- If you want to add extra flavor, you can replace part of the milk with vanilla essence or coffee.
- The caramel sauce recipe can be adapted; you can add salt for a salted caramel effect or experiment with different types of nuts.

Nutritional benefits:
This cake, although a dessert, contains ingredients that can provide benefits, such as nuts, which are rich in healthy fats and proteins. Honey adds a touch of natural sweetness, while dark chocolate can be an excellent antioxidant.

Frequently asked questions:
- Can I use another type of nuts? Absolutely! You can experiment with hazelnuts, almonds, or pecans.
- How can I store the cake? It is recommended to keep it in the refrigerator in an airtight container to maintain its freshness.
- Can this cake be frozen? Yes, but to preserve the texture of the cream, it is better to consume it fresh.

In conclusion, the Kinder Maxi King cake is more than just a dessert; it is a culinary experience that brings joy and flavor in every slice. Try this simple and delicious recipe and let your imagination run wild, creating your unique version! Enjoy!
