Total time: 50-60 minutes
Number of servings: 12

Necessary ingredients:

*For the base:*
- 5 fresh eggs
- 5 tablespoons of sugar
- 5 tablespoons of oil (preferably sunflower or rapeseed oil)
- 5 tablespoons of flour
- 1 packet of baking powder
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar

*For the cream:*
- 300 g of butter (at room temperature)
- 300 g of granulated sugar
- 100 g of walnuts (finely ground)
- 50 ml of rum (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar
- 1 egg
- 50 ml of water

Step by step: Preparing the nut cream cake

1. Prepare the base: Start by preheating the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. In a large bowl, crack the 5 eggs and add the sugar. Mix well with a whisk or electric mixer until the mixture becomes frothy and light in color. It is important for the sugar to completely dissolve to achieve a fluffy base.

2. Add the dry ingredients: Continue by adding the oil, flour, baking powder, and vanilla sugar. Mix with a spatula or spoon, using upward motions to avoid losing air from the mixture. This step is essential for achieving a fluffy base.

3. Bake the base: Pour the mixture into a baking tray lined with parchment paper (25/40 cm), leveling the surface with a spatula. Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the base is golden and passes the toothpick test. If the toothpick comes out clean, the base is ready! Let it cool in the tray.

4. Prepare the cream: In a saucepan, bring the water and sugar to a boil, stirring constantly until a syrup forms. You can check the consistency by placing a drop of syrup on a saucer; if it forms a bead, it’s perfect!

5. Add the egg: Beat the egg in a separate bowl, then quickly pour it over the hot syrup, stirring vigorously to avoid coagulation. Boil the mixture, stirring continuously, until it thickens.

6. Enrich the cream: Once the cream has thickened, let it cool slightly. Add the butter cut into cubes, ground walnuts, rum, and vanilla sugar. Mix well until the butter is fully integrated into the cream.

7. Assemble the cake: When the base has completely cooled, cut it in half horizontally. Spread the warm cream on the first half of the base, then place the other half on top. Make sure the cake is even and beautiful.

8. Final touches: Let the cake cool completely, then dust it with powdered sugar before serving for an elegant and delicious appearance.

Serving suggestions: This nut cream cake pairs perfectly with a cup of aromatic coffee or a fruit tea. You can also add a spoonful of sour cream or whipped cream for extra creaminess.

Useful tips and variations:
- If you prefer a more intense nut flavor, you can also add whole nuts or roasted walnut shells on top of the cream.
- Instead of rum, you can use almond essence for a different flavor.
- Experiment with different types of flour, such as whole wheat or almond flour, to add a healthy twist to your cake.

Calories and nutritional benefits: A serving of nut cream cake has approximately 350 calories, depending on the portion size. Nuts are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, proteins, fibers, and antioxidants, providing benefits for cardiovascular health and brain health.

Frequently asked questions:
- *Can I use another type of oil?* Yes, you can use olive or coconut oil, but make sure the flavors are compatible with the other ingredients.
- *How do I store the cake?* It is recommended to store it in the refrigerator, covered, to maintain its freshness. It can be consumed even after a few days, but it usually disappears quickly from plates!
