Christmas tree cake with nut aroma

6 servings
1 hour

To begin with, melt chocolate and butter in a water bath.

We wait for the mass to cool down at room temperature.

Beat the eggs with sugar until fluffy, while beating, add honey a little.

Mix egg mass with chocolate mass. Carefully, with slow movements, we do all this using a silicone shoulder blade or you can use a spoon. The mass should remain lush.

Sift cocoa and dough baking powder into flour.

Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ones. We intervene them with a shoulder blade until any lumps disappear completely.

Add roughly chopped almonds or any other nuts to taste (such as cashews, walnuts or hazelnuts).

Lubricate the surface of the form with butter and spray with flour. Then we shift the dough here and send it to an oven heated to 170 degrees for 30 minutes.

If the biscuit fails, bake the dough at a higher temperature. Or you can first bake it for 10 minutes at a temperature of 200 ° C, then reduce the temperature to 170 ° C and oven until cooked. Everyone has different ovens, so you need to make sure that the biscuit does not burn. And if it is burnt, carefully cut off the top with a saw knife.

I shift the cooled pastry onto a wooden plate, I sprinkled it with icing sugar. I decorate the surface of the Christmas tree with whipped cream. I put multi-colored candy with chocolate filling on top of the creamy layer - this is our Christmas tree toys. In addition, I decorate the Christmas tree with pastry sprinkles in the shape of cute stars so that our pastries shine with festive lights.

A simple recipe for an interesting bright cake for the New Year's table. You can bake such a cake every year and it will never get tired. : )
