Preparation method

How do you make this?

Beat the eggs and sugar for 5 minutes.

Mix the dry ingredients in one bowl and the wet ingredients in another, including the instant coffee stirred into the coffee.

Add the dry and wet ingredients to the whipped eggs and mix for another minute.

Grease three identical baking pans and optionally place a circle of parchment paper at the bottom. Divide the batter, which will be quite liquid, among the pans.

Bake for 25-30 minutes at 175°C in a preheated oven. Let cool and remove from the pan.

Beat all the ingredients for the icing until creamy and fluffy.

Place the first layer of biscuit on your cake plate, pipe a layer of icing about 1 cm thick on top, and repeat with the next layers.

Pipe the sides and top with the remaining icing and smooth it out. Use a serrated spatula to add texture to the icing.

Finish with toasted hazelnuts and some powdered sugar or cocoa powder.
