Preparation time: 1 hour
Baking time: 1 hour
Total time: 2 hours
Number of servings: 12

Ingredients

Layer 1:
- 5 eggs (fresh, preferably from a farm)
- 1 tablespoon coconut (for an exotic taste)
- 150 g sugar
- 80 g flour
- 100 g ground walnuts (choose fresh nuts for a more intense flavor)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder (with saffron, for a special aroma)
- A pinch of salt

Layer 2:
- 4 egg whites (make sure they contain no yolks)
- 40 g flour
- 200 g sugar
- 150 g peeled walnuts (you can also use roasted nuts for extra flavor)
- A pinch of salt

Cream:
- 4 egg yolks (of good quality)
- 1 packet vanilla pudding
- 500 ml milk (you can use almond milk for a vegan option)
- 300 g sugar (preferably brown sugar for a more caramelized taste)
- 1 margarine (or butter, if you prefer)
- 1 packet Bourbon vanilla sugar
- A pinch of salt

For decoration:
- 250 ml whipped cream (you can add vanilla sugar for a sweet taste)
- Chocolate (for decoration, you can use dark or milk chocolate)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preparing Layer 1:
Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until you get a firm foam. In another bowl, mix the egg yolks with sugar until they turn into a whitish cream. Add the ground walnuts, flour mixed with baking powder, and coconut. Gently fold in the beaten egg whites using a spatula to avoid losing the air in the mixture.

2. Baking Layer 1:
Grease a detachable cake pan with butter and pour in the mixture. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 30 minutes. Check with a toothpick; if it comes out clean, the layer is ready. Let it cool completely and then cut it in half.

3. Preparing Layer 2:
Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt. Gradually add 100 g of sugar, continuing to beat until you get a glossy foam. Caramelize the remaining sugar in a pan and add the whole walnuts. Let them cool on a damp plate, peeling them off periodically. Crush them after they have cooled. Incorporate the crushed nuts into the egg whites, add the flour, and mix gently. Pour the mixture into the prepared cake pan lined with buttered parchment paper.

4. Baking Layer 2:
Bake at 140°C for 30-35 minutes, checking again with a toothpick. Let it cool.

5. Preparing the Cream:
Mix the egg yolks with the sugar until they lighten in color. In a saucepan, heat 100 ml of milk and pour in the egg mixture, stirring continuously until it thickens. Prepare the pudding according to the instructions on the packet using 400 ml of milk. Once the pudding is ready, mix it with the egg cream and let it cool.

6. Finishing the Cream:
Beat the margarine at room temperature and add a spoonful of pudding cream, mixing gently to achieve a fluffy texture.

7. Assembling the Cake:
On a platter, place half of Layer 1, add half of the prepared cream, the meringue layer, the remaining cream, and finish with the other half of Layer 1. Let it sit in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

8. Decorating the Cake:
Beat the whipped cream until firm and decorate the cake according to your preferences. Add grated chocolate on top for an attractive appearance.

9. Serving:
Let the cake chill in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Serve it with a cup of herbal tea or coffee for a truly special moment.
