How to Prepare the Ingredients

Starting the preparation of dessert, I advise you to take care in advance to cool the bowl in which you will whip the egg whites. In addition, eggs and cream should be cooled. But the butter should be left for about 30 minutes at room temperature to soften.

How to bake protein cakes

For the cake, we need 2 cakes, so we use 10 eggs. Separate the cooled whites from the yolks and beat until the mass turns white. After that, we continue to beat, gradually adding the sugar put according to the recipe. Beat egg whites with sugar until stiff peaks form.

Cover the baking dish with parchment, preheat the oven to 150 degrees and spread the meringue evenly on the parchment, leveling with a spatula. Bake at 150 degrees for 40 minutes. Readiness can be checked with a toothpick or a wooden stick (when piercing the cake, it should be dry). Allow the cake to cool and carefully transfer to a dish, then remove the parchment. I bake two protein cakes at the same time. If you do not have such an opportunity, then beat only the amount of proteins (5 pcs.), Which is necessary for baking one cake. Beat the whites for the second cake just before baking it.

How to cook butter cream on yolks

Beat 10 yolks with 100 grams of sugar. Beat until the mass increases in volume. Add milk to the mixture and put on a small fire. Cook the mixture while stirring constantly. Don't let her boil. As soon as the cream on the yolks thickens, immediately remove from heat so that it does not curdle. Let cool.

Add 100 grams of softened butter to the cooled cream, mix. Add 100 grams of cream and beat with a mixer.

Grind hazelnuts into small crumbs and add to the yolk cream. I used a blender, but if you don't have one, you can grate the nuts on a grater.

Chilled cream intended for decorating the cake, whip with a little sugar (3 tablespoons).

How to decorate a royal cake

Assembling this meringue cake is very easy. Layers alternate in the following order: protein cake, 1/2 part of nut cream on yolks, 1/3 part of whipped cream, berries and meringue cake again.

Cover the top protein layer with the rest of the nut cream. Gently spread the whipped cream on top and smooth the sides of the cake with it. It remains just to decorate a light dessert with fresh blueberries and hazelnuts. As I said, berries and nuts can be any - to your taste.
