Cook Time	35 mins
Total Time	4 hrs
Course	Dessert
Cuisine	Bulgarian

Ingredients

Eggs – 5 pcs.
Sugar – 300 g (according to the recipe 420 g, but this is for a sweet tooth)
Walnuts – 200 g
Butter – 170 g
Cocoa powder – 5 tablespoons
Coconut flakes – for decoration

Instructions

Prepare all the ingredients for the Garash cake.
Separate the yolks from the whites, try not to get the fat of the yolk into the protein, otherwise, they will not foam up.
Place the butter in a bowl suitable for a water bath. Add half the sugar and cocoa powder.
Place the bowl in a water bath, heat until the sugar dissolves.
Then add the yolks and stir constantly until thickened.
Remove the chocolate cream from heat and chill slightly.
Place the walnuts in a blender and chop finely.
Beat the whites with a mixer or in a food processor until they are firm. Add the remaining granulated sugar and beat again until the sugar dissolves.
Spoon the walnuts into the whipped egg whites.
Put parchment paper on a baking sheet, grease it with oil and place 2 tablespoon. tablespoons of protein mass, spreading it thinly (0.5-0.7 cm), in the form of a cake layer of the desired size.
Bake the meringue cake in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for 5-7 minutes, until lightly browned. It will be slightly sticky on top.
Remove the meringue cake from the parchment and brush immediately with chocolate cream.
So bake all the cakes (I got 6 pieces with a diameter of 18 cm), laying one on top of the other directly hot, pressing each one a little with your hands.
After placing the last cake layer, coat the entire Garash cake with the remaining cream, sprinkle with coconut, and refrigerate for 3-5 hours.
Airy meringue nut cakes, rich chocolate cream – “Garash” cake is ready!

Enjoy your meal!
