Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 20-25 minutes
Total time: 55 minutes
Servings: 8-10
Necessary ingredients:
For the base:
- 3 eggs
- 60 ml warm water
- 100 g sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons cocoa
- 7 tablespoons flour
- A pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons ground nuts
For the cream:
- 500 ml milk
- 3 tablespoons nescream
- 250 g sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 100 ml whipped cream
For the glaze:
- 100 g dark chocolate
- 50 ml whipped cream
Preparation:
Step 1: Preparing the base
1. Start by preheating the oven to 180°C. Make sure you have a cake pan (about 22-24 cm in diameter) greased with butter and dusted with flour to prevent sticking.
2. In a large bowl, add the egg yolks and warm water. Mix for 2 minutes until you get a frothy mixture.
3. Add the sugar and continue mixing for 5 minutes until the mixture becomes airy and creamy.
4. In another bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt, and ground nuts. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
5. Gently fold the dry ingredient mixture into the egg mixture using a spatula, being careful to retain the air in the base.
6. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until foamy and gently incorporate them into the base mixture. This step will make the cake even fluffier.
7. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Step 2: Preparing the cream
1. In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat without bringing it to a boil.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the sugar with the cornstarch and tablespoons of nescream. Gradually add the warm milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
3. Place the mixture over heat and stir continuously until the cream thickens. Once thickened, remove from heat and let it cool completely.
4. Once the cream has cooled, fold in the whipped cream gently to achieve an airy texture.
Step 3: Assembling the cake
1. Cut the cooled base into two equal layers. Place the first layer on a platter and soak it with a simple syrup (you can use boiled water and sugar) or with coffee for a more intense flavor.
2. Spread half of the nescream cream over the first layer.
3. Place the second layer on top and repeat the process, adding the remaining cream.
Step 4: Preparing the glaze
1. Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in a saucepan with the whipped cream. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly until the chocolate melts completely and you achieve a smooth mixture.
2. Pour the warm glaze over the cake, allowing it to flow gently over the edges for an elegant look.
3. Decorate the cake as you wish – you can add ground nuts, grated chocolate, or coffee beans for a sophisticated look.
Serving:
Let the cake sit in the refrigerator for at least an hour before cutting, so the cream has time to set. This nescream cake pairs perfectly with a cup of fresh coffee or a fragrant tea, adding extra flavor to the moment.
Useful tips:
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for the best results.
- You can personalize the cream by adding vanilla essence or a bit of coffee liqueur for a more sophisticated note.
- Instead of nuts, you can try using ground walnuts or almonds to vary the textures and flavors.

Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I use duck eggs instead of chicken eggs?
Yes, but keep in mind that duck eggs are larger and richer, so adjusting the proportions may be necessary.
2. How can I keep the cake fresh longer?
You can keep it covered in the refrigerator, but it is recommended to consume it within 3 days to enjoy the optimal consistency and flavor.
3. What can I do with the leftover cream?
If you have leftover cream, you can use it to fill croissants, éclairs, or as a topping for pancakes.
