Ingredients

  • 10 egg whites
  • 1 cup caster sugar
  • 200 g (7 oz ) hazelnut meal
  • 250 ml (8 fl oz) cream
  • ½ tsp instant coffee powder
  • ½ tsp cocoa powder

Directions

1

Preheat oven to very hot—about 230°C (450°F).

2

Whip egg whites with electric mixer to soft peaks. While whipping, very gradually add the caster sugar, and continue whipping to stiff peaks.

3

Gently fold hazelnut meal into the beaten egg whites.

4

Line a 40 x 25 cm (16 x 10- inch ) baking pan with foil. Spread mixture evenly into tray. Do not bang the tray—it is important to keep as much air in the cake as possible.

5

Once cake is in oven, immediately turn temperature down to 180°C (350°F). Bake for 20 minutes, or until cake is sealed and springs back when touched lightly with finger.

6

Allow cake to cool in the tray. It should only be about 1 inch high.

7

Once cooled, cut cake into 3 equal sections to be stacked on top of each other.

8

In a bowl, dissolve coffee and cocoa into cream. Once dissolved, whip cream to stiff peaks.

9

Layer cream between the sections of cake to make a log. Decorate top with extra cream.
