Decadent Layered Mould Cake

Ingredients

  • 500 g all-purpose wheat flour
  • 200 g butter
  • 5 egg yolks
  • 1/3 cup sugar (or more if you prefer sweeter)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 5 egg whites
  • 180 g sugar (I used less)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 350 g currant jam (sugar-free for me)

Instructions

  1. Beat the egg whites until stiff, gradually adding sugar, then add cornstarch and mix only until combined.
  2. Combine and knead the dough ingredients (I did it in a stand mixer with a dough hook). Shape the dough into a ball.
  3. Divide the dough into three equal parts (reserve 1 light and dark part in the freezer). Add cocoa powder to one part and mix until smooth.
  4. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper. Press one light part into the bottom of the pan. Pre-bake it for 10 minutes at 170°C (340°F).
  5. Spread the jam over the pre-baked base, then grate the dark part of the dough over it.
  6. Next, spread the beaten egg white meringue and grate the remaining light part of the dough.
  7. Bake for about 45 minutes (180°C/350°F).
  8. Do not open the oven for 30-40 minutes.
