1. Grind the peeled almonds into crumbs using a blender. Eggs are divided into squirrels and yolks. We pour sugar to the yolks, beat the dobel. Sieve the flour and starch into the resulting mass, leave without agitation.

2. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt into a strong foam, add the 1/3 part to the bowl with yolks and dry ingredients, gently mix with a silicone spatula.

3. Put cocoa powder and almond crumbs into the resulting mass, gently mix. Then we introduce the remaining whipped proteins into the dough, mix them with neat movements from the bottom up.

4. We line the bottom of the detachable shape with parchment, lay out the dough. Send the tin to the oven heated to 180 degrees, bake for 35 - 40 minutes. After the specified time, we are in no hurry to remove the finished bark, let it cool a little and only after that we remove it on a lattice.

5. Beat mascarpone with a mixer until fluffy. Break white chocolate into pieces, melt in a water bath or microwave. Combine melted chocolate with mascarpone, beat. It turns out a delicate cream with a dense consistency.

6. Put the softened butter in parts into the cream, without stopping whipping. Then pour lemon juice, agitated.

7. Cut the bark into two using a long bread knife. We apply half of the cream to one part, level it, cover it with the second part. We cover the surface of the cake and sides with the remaining cream, carefully straighten. The surface should be perfectly level.

8. We divide the mastic into parts, paint the large one in blue, and two manshii in brown and pink. Thoroughly knead so that the dye is evenly distributed. We roll out the blue mastic into a thin layer, cover the surface of the cake with it, smooth it well, cut it off unnecessarily.

9. We form branches and a rim for cake from brown mastic. We cut out small delicate flowers from pink. We decorate the cake with prepared decor. In the recipe, the decor is supplemented with mastic butterflies, they can also be made or bought in a specialized store. We send the cake to the refrigerator for an hour, after which you can serve on the table. Nice tasting!
