Instructions

  1. Prepare all the ingredients for the Garash cake.
  2. Separate the yolks from the whites, try not to get the fat of the yolk into the protein, otherwise, they will not foam up.
  3. Place the butter in a bowl suitable for a water bath. Add half the sugar and cocoa powder.

  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. Remove the meringue cake from the parchment and brush immediately with chocolate cream.
  13. 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.
