Preparation:
  1. Turn on the oven to heat to 200 °C.

  2. Beat the egg whites with the addition of sugar.

  3. Stir until the sugar has dissolved.

  4. Then add ground walnuts and flour and lightly mix everything together.

  5. Put baking paper in the oven tray, under which we coated the tray with oil. (the painting)

  6. Shake the mixture and bake for 15 minutes.

  7. Immediately wrap the baked crust in a wet cloth and leave to cool.

  8. You will bend easily because the crust is really soft.

  9. Steam the egg yolks and sugar.

  10. Cook for about 15 minutes.

  11. Remove, then add the chocolate and stir until melted, then leave to cool.

  12. During that time, melt the sugar (those 50 g), then add the walnuts and shake everything on a greased baking sheet and leave to cool. (the painting)

  13. The walnuts will cool down quickly, so it is necessary to grind them on a fine grid, to be finely ground.

  14. Beat the margarine with the powdered sugar, then add the cooled chocolate cream and mix.

  15. Add ground caramelized walnuts at the end and mix everything.

  16. Unroll the crust and apply 3/4 of the filling, wrap the roll and spread the rest of the filling around.

  17. Optionally decorate.

  18. Keep the stump cake in the fridge for 2 hours so you can serve it.


Buon appetito!

NOTE:
  • The cake is very strong, so one small piece for 2 days is enough. You can sprinkle a little grill around the stump, imitating sand / earth. If you have coconut flour, sprinkle it to mimic moss.
