Makes 6 cakes

Cakes:
175 g mixed nuts, such as hazelnuts and almonds
3 egg whites
175 g sugar
100 g dark chocolate, chopped

Strawberry Whipped Cream:
300 g strawberries
50 g powdered sugar
2 1/2 dl whipping cream

6 steel rings 8 cm in diametre
300 g berries for decorating the cakes, such as strawberrries, raspberries, and currants
A bit of dark chocolate for decoration

 

Preheat the oven to 160 C.

Process the nuts in the blender until they’re roughly chopped. It’s important they aren’t blended all the way down to flour.
Beat the egg whites very stiff. Add sugar, and beat until the whites are completely stiff and form tops.
Grease the steel rings and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Divide the batter among them and bake for ca. 25 minutes.
Wash the strawberries, sprinkle with powdered sugar, blend. Beat the cream to a thick whipped cream and fold with the blended strawberries. Pour into a pastry bag with a star tip.
Carefully loosen the cakes from the forms. Pipe strawberry whipped cream on the cakes, and garnish with berries and chocolate shavings.

If you wish, the cake can be baked in a large form, such as a 20 cm springform.
Fold in the nuts and chopped chocolate.
