Preparation time: 2 hours
Number of servings: 15

Necessary ingredients:

For the base:
- 5 eggs
- 5 tablespoons of sugar
- 2 tablespoons of flour
- 7 tablespoons of ground walnuts
- a pinch of baking powder
- a pinch of salt

For the cream:
- 1 packet of vanilla cream Dr.Oetker
- 3 tablespoons (heaped) of sugar
- 250 ml of milk

For the syrup:
- 400 ml of water
- 6 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 tablespoon of rum essence

Step by step: Preparing the cake

1. Preparing the base:
Start by separating the eggs. Whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt in a large bowl until you achieve a firm foam. Gradually add the sugar while continuing to mix until the foam becomes glossy and firm. Then, gently integrate the yolks, one at a time.

Add the baking powder, flour, and ground walnuts, mixing with a spatula to avoid losing air in the composition.

Grease a round baking pan with butter and dust it with flour to prevent sticking. Pour the mixture into the pan and place it in the preheated oven at 180°C for about 30 minutes. Check if it is baked by inserting a toothpick; if it comes out clean, the base is ready.

2. Preparing the syrup:
In a saucepan, combine the water with the sugar and bring to a boil. Boil for 5-10 minutes, then remove from heat and add the rum essence. Allow the syrup to cool.

3. Preparing the cream:
In a bowl, mix the vanilla cream powder with cold milk and sugar using a mixer. Blend until you achieve a creamy consistency. Some of this cream will be used to fill the cake, so keep a small amount for decoration.

4. Preparing the whipped cream:
Whip the liquid cream with a mixer until it thickens. This will add extra delicacy to your cake. Place the whipped cream and cream in the fridge to chill well.

5. Creating marzipan flowers:
Cut small pieces of marzipan and add a few drops of food coloring. Knead well with your hands to achieve an evenly colored mass. Use decorative tools or your fingers to shape flower petals. You can create flowers, leaves, or anything your imagination desires. Use gloves, as marzipan can be a bit sticky.

6. Assembling and decorating the cake:
Once the base and syrup have cooled, cut the base in half. Soak both halves with the cooled syrup, then add a layer of vanilla cream between them. Place the top of the cake on, then cover it with whipped cream. Use the marzipan flowers and decorative candies to create a festive and attractive look.

Helpful tips:
- Ensure that the ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing, especially the eggs.
- You can add additional flavors to the cream, such as vanilla or almond essence, to give it an even richer taste.
- The cake will stay fresh and delicious for a few days if kept in the fridge.
- If you want a moister cake, you can double the amount of syrup.

Nutritional benefits:
This cake contains walnuts, which are an excellent source of healthy fats and antioxidants. The milk and cream add a portion of calcium, while the vanilla cream provides a delicious taste without compromising health.

Frequently asked questions:
- Can I use other types of nuts? Sure! Pecans or almonds are delicious options.
- How can I make the cake less sweet? Reduce the amount of sugar in the cream and syrup.
- Is it possible to use another type of marzipan? Yes, you can experiment with chocolate marzipan or flavored ones.

Combine this cake with a flavored coffee or a fruit tea for a complete culinary experience. I would even add vanilla ice cream as a perfect contrast to the cake's textures.
