For Fill:

Preparation:

Bark:

Whisk 6 egg yolks with 6 tablespoons of sugar. Whisk the egg whites well in solid snow. Add the ground walnuts and carefully mix both masses with the addition of 2 tablespoons of flour.
Pour the mass into a greased pan (butter and flour) and bake at 200 degrees, check with a toothpick if the crust is ready.
Remove the crust and wrap the crust in some napkin or clean cloth and leave to cool.

Fill:

Beat 4 eggs with 250 g of sugar. Steam Bain Marie mixture.
Add the whole margarine to the warm mass, mix well to melt and combine the mass.
Then divide the filling into 2 parts.
In 3/4 of the filling with which the inner part of the cake filled, add another 125 g of ground walnuts, which you have fried before.
Then another 150 g of sugar that has been previously fried and ground on a walnut machine, and whisk everything together.
The remaining part of the filling 1/4 is used to decorate the cake. While it is still warm, add 2 bars of chocolate and stir until it melts well.
When both fillings prepared and cooled, the cake filled.
Roll out the wrapped dough and spread it with the first filling and roll it all up again. Coat the rolled roll with another filling.
Decorate the cake to look like a tree crust with strokes from the top of a fork.
Serve cold.
