- 3 eggs, separated
- 150 grams (approx.) cream cheese
- 200 grams (approx.) chocolate cream (any chocolate hazelnut spread)
- (Optional for decorating): extra chocolate cream, fresh raspberries, crushed pistachios
- Prepare the Egg Whites
-
- Separate the egg yolks from the whites.
- Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form and set aside.
- Mix the Base
-
- In a separate bowl, mix the egg yolks with the cream cheese.
- Add the chocolate spread and mix until fully incorporated.
- Combine the Mixtures
-
- Gently fold in half of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture. It’s okay if the mixture isn’t fully smooth yet.
- Add the remaining egg whites and fold gently until the batter is uniform and fluffy.
- Prepare for Baking
-
- Line a round cake pan with baking paper and pour in the batter.
- Place this pan in a larger tray, pour in hot water to create a bain-marie (water bath) for gentle baking.
- Bake
-
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for about 30–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the tray for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a serving plate and remove the baking paper.
- Decorate (Optional)
-
- Spread a thin layer of chocolate cream on top.
- Garnish with fresh raspberries and crushed pistachios.
