Ingredients

Step cooking

Biscuit

1. We beat 5 eggs into a deep bowl and beat them with a mixer until a thick stable foam for 5-6 minutes.
   
2. Add 125 g of sugar to the eggs and a pinch of salt and beat for 2-3 minutes until dissolved.
   
3. Sift into a mass of 125 g of flour and 1 tbsp. l cocoa.
   
4. Mix with a mixer at low speeds or manually using a spatula / whisk.
   
5. The bottom of the form (in the recipe is used with a diameter of 20 cm) is pre-covered with parchment paper. Fill our dough and send to the oven preheated to 180ºС for 30-35 minutes.
   
6. We check the readiness with a wooden stick - it should come out of the finished biscuit dry, without the rest of the dough.
   
7. Let the biscuit cool for 1.5-2 hours, and then just take it out of the form and carefully remove the parchment paper.
   

Cream

1. Separately, beat 200 g of butter and 200 g of boiled condensed milk.
   
2. We combine the ingredients and sift in them 50 g of cocoa powder.
   
3. Mix thoroughly with a mixer. You can also add ground nuts, cinnamon, or citrus zest.
   
4. In the process of mixing with a thin stream, pour 10 ml of vegetable oil.
   
5. The cream is homogeneous, with a smooth texture.
   

Impregnation

1. To create an impregnation, we send 1 glass of sugar and 1 glass of red wine to a pan with a thick bottom. It is important that the glasses are of the same volume.
   
2. We put the pan on medium heat and mix the wine with sugar a little, so that the latter dissolves.
   
3. We give the mixture to boil for 20-25 minutes so that the excess alcohol disappears, and the impregnation thickens and becomes like a syrup.
   

We collect and decorate the cake

1. Cut the biscuit into 3 cake layers along, turning the knife first in a circle, and then inside.
   
2. Set the serving dish and a little grease the cream so that the cake does not slip.
   
3. We spread the first cake and grease liberally with impregnation.
   
4. After that, put a thick layer of cream.
   
5. We repeat the manipulation with the second cake, and the last one is wetted only by impregnation and put down on the previous cake.
   
6. With the remaining cream, completely cover the outside of the cake.
   
7. Grind the nuts in a blender (they can be any: walnuts, cashews, peanuts, almonds, etc.) into medium crumbs and sprinkle the whole cake with them.
   
8. We leave the cake for 3-4 hours in the refrigerator so that it is soaked. It would be ideal to leave it for the night. Before you eat a cake, take it out of the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes, so that it warms up.
