Ingredients
  

For the cake
  • 4 pieces Eier
  • 150 grams Zucker
  • 1 pack Päckchen Vanillezucker
  • 150 ml Öl
  • 150 ml Milch
  • 200 grams gemahlene Haselnüsse (oder Mandeln)
  • 200 grams Mehl
  • 1 pack Päckchen Backpulver
For the cream
  • 400 ml Schlagsahne
  • 2 pack Päckchen Sahnesteif

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 180 °C (356 °F) using the upper and lower heat function. Line your baking pan (about 30×20 cm or 24×24 cm) with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, and vanilla sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Gradually pour in the oil and milk while stirring until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and ground nuts, then fold this mixture into the egg mixture until no flour remains visible.
  5. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, smooth the top, and bake for 25-30 minutes. Let it cool completely.
Cream preparation
  1. Whip the cream with the cream stiffener and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Optionally, mix in the cream cheese for more stability.
Assembly
  1. Once the cake has cooled, slice it horizontally in half.
  2. Spread half of the cream on the lower half of the cake, then place the top half back on.
  3. Use the remaining cream to cover the top and sides of the cake.
  4. Finish with chopped nuts and a dusting of powdered sugar.

Notes

For best texture, allow the cake to cool completely before cutting. For cleaner slices, chill it in the fridge for 20-30 minutes before serving.
