Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preparing the Layers
1. Start by preheating the oven to 180°C. Prepare a 25 cm round cake pan, greased with a little oil and lined with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until frothy. Gradually add the sugar, continuing to mix until it becomes a firm, glossy meringue.
3. Carefully fold in the ground nuts and flour, mixing with a spatula to keep the air in the mixture.
4. Spread the mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing it out. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes or until the layer is lightly golden. Repeat the process for the other two layers.

Step 2: Preparing the Chocolate Cream
1. In a bowl, place the chopped chocolate together with the butter. You can melt the mixture over low heat or in a double boiler, stirring constantly until you achieve a smooth consistency.
2. Once melted, divide the cream into three equal portions to spread between the layers.

Step 3: Preparing the Nesquik Cream
1. In another bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar until they lighten in color. Gradually add the flour and milk, mixing well to avoid lumps.
2. Place the mixture over low heat or in a double boiler, stirring continuously until the cream thickens. Once thickened, remove from heat and add the Nesquik powder. Allow to cool.
3. In another bowl, beat the soft butter with the sugar until creamy. Gradually add the cooled Nesquik cream, mixing until smooth. Divide the cream into three equal portions.

Step 4: Preparing the Whipped Cream
1. Whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar until it thickens. As before, divide the whipped cream into three portions.

Step 5: Assembling the Cake
1. Place the first layer of cake on a serving platter. Spread a portion of chocolate cream, followed by a portion of Nesquik cream. Place the second layer of cake on top and repeat the process: chocolate cream, Nesquik cream.
2. Place the last layer of cake and cover everything with whipped cream. Decorate with Nesquik powder or chocolate balls, as desired.

Chef's Tip
For an extra flavor boost, you can add vanilla extract to the whipped cream or make a chocolate sauce to drizzle over the cake before serving. Also, when serving, this cake pairs perfectly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a cup of hot coffee.
