– 100g Granulated Sugar
– 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
– 100ml Sunflower Oil
– 100ml Milk
– 200g All-Purpose Flour

For the Cream:
– 2 Large Eggs
– 120g Granulated Sugar
– 70g Corn Starch
– 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
– 800ml Milk
– 40g Unsalted Butter
– 2 tbsp Nutella
Method
1. Prepare the Nuts:
Toast the walnuts in a dry pan for 5 minutes. Once cooled, pulse them in a blender until finely ground.
2. Make the Sponge:
In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and sugar until light and airy. Stir in the vanilla extract, followed by the sunflower oil. Sift in the flour and baking powder, then fold in the ground nuts. Pour the batter into a lined baking tray and bake at 180°C (356°F) for 30 minutes.
3. Create the Cream:
Whisk eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and corn starch in a pot until smooth. Gradually add milk and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the butter until fully incorporated.
4. Assemble the Cake:
Once the sponge is cool, slice it horizontally into two layers. Spread Nutella on the bottom layer, followed by a generous layer of the prepared cream. Top with the second sponge layer, spread more Nutella, and sprinkle with crumbled sponge edges.
Serve this Nutty Delight Cake and watch it become the highlight of your gatherings. Bon appétit!
