Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 30 minutes
Total time: 50 minutes
Number of servings: 12
Ingredients:
For the white cake:
- 7 eggs
- 7 tablespoons of oil
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1 cup of flour
- 1 cup of ground walnuts
- 1 tablespoon of cocoa
For the pudding cream:
- 500 ml of milk
- 1 packet of cocoa pudding
- 3 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 tablespoon of Finetti (or similar chocolate spread)
Step by step for a perfect result:
1. Preparing the pudding cream:
Start by preparing the pudding cream. Take a bowl and mix the contents of the pudding packet with cold milk and sugar. Make sure the ingredients are well integrated, then transfer the mixture to a saucepan. Place the saucepan on the stove over medium heat and stir continuously. It is important not to let the mixture stick to the bottom of the pan, so don't forget to stir! Once it starts to boil, reduce the heat and continue stirring for another 1-2 minutes until the cream thickens. Finally, add the tablespoon of Finetti and mix again. Let the cream cool slightly, but do not let it harden.
2. Preparing the white cake:
In a large bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually add the sugar and continue mixing until the sugar crystals completely dissolve. In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the oil until you obtain a homogeneous mixture, similar to a thin mayonnaise. Pour the yolk mixture over the egg whites and fold gently with a spatula, using up-and-down motions. This will keep the air in the egg whites, giving the cake a fluffy texture.
3. Adding flour and walnuts:
Sift the flour over the egg mixture, adding it gradually to avoid lumps. Gently mix until the flour is completely incorporated. Divide the mixture into two bowls. In one, add the tablespoon of cocoa and the ground walnuts, mixing until homogeneous.
4. Baking the cake:
Prepare two loaf pans with parchment paper. Pour the white mixture into the first pan and the black mixture into the second. Preheat the oven to 180°C and bake the cakes for about 30 minutes. You can check if they are baked using the toothpick test: insert a toothpick into the center of the cake, and if it comes out clean, it's ready!
5. Assembling the dessert:
After the cakes have completely cooled, cut each cake into slices about 1 cm thick. Then, take a slice of white cake, followed by a slice of black cake, and continue alternating the slices. Between each slice, add a portion of warm pudding cream. For a more attractive appearance, reserve a little cream to decorate the top of the dessert, and finally, sprinkle ground walnuts for a crunchy and aromatic finish.
Practical tips:
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature, especially the eggs, to achieve a more homogeneous mixture.
- If you want a more intense flavor, you can add a few drops of vanilla essence to the pudding cream.
- This recipe is flexible: you can replace walnuts with almonds or hazelnuts to vary the flavors.
Nutritional benefits:
This black and white cake with walnuts is a source of energy, thanks to the proteins from the eggs and the healthy fats from the walnuts. Walnuts are known for their high content of Omega-3 fatty acids, which contribute to heart health. Additionally, the chocolate pudding adds an extra boost of antioxidants due to the cocoa.
Frequently asked questions:
- Can I use other types of flour?
Yes, you can experiment with whole wheat flour or gluten-free flour, but the texture will differ.
- How can I keep the cake longer?
Wrap it in plastic wrap and store it in a cool, dry place to avoid drying out.
Serving suggestions:
This black and white cake pairs perfectly with a cup of coffee or tea, and for a special moment, you can add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top.
Now you are ready to delight everyone with this delicious cake! Enjoy every slice and the joy that a dessert made with love brings!
