Ingredients

  • egg whites
    10 unit
  • caster sugar
    1 cup
  • (7oz) hazelnut meal
    200 g
  • (8 fluid oz) cream
    250 ml
  • instant coffee powder
    ½ teaspoon
  • cocoa powder
    ½ teaspoon

Method

1
Pre-heat oven to Very Hot.
2
Beat egg whites with electric mixer till stiff. During mixing, add caster sugar in small amounts to make sure it dissolves into egg.
3
Once mixture forms stiff peaks, gently fold in the hazelnut meal.
4
Line a lamington or slice tray (approximately 40cm X 25cm) with foil. Spread mix evenly into tray. Do not bang the tray - it is important to keep as much air in the cake as possible.
5
Once cake is in oven, immediately turn temperature down to 180°C (350°F). Bake for 20 minutes, or until cake is sealed and springs back when touched lightly with finger.
6
Allow cake to cool in the tray. Cake should only be about an inch high.
7
Once cooled, cut cake into 3 equal sections to be stacked on top of each other.
8
In a bowl, dissolve coffee and cocoa into cream. Once dissolved, whip cream until stiff.
9
Layer cream between the sections of cake to make a log. Decorate top with extra cream.
