Instructions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar until the mixture is thick and light.
Next, add the butter and mayonnaise and beat until creamy. Then, combine the flour with the baking powder and vanilla sugar, mixing it gradually into the wet ingredients.
Once combined, use a bit of flour on your hands to gently knead the dough until it is soft. Divide the dough into three parts, setting one part aside for later to mix with cocoa powder. Refrigerate the chocolate dough for about 30 minutes.
Step 2
Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F). Roll out the chocolate dough on a lightly floured surface to fit your baking pan.
Bake it for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow it to cool before moving on to the other layers.
Step 3
In a bowl, beat the egg whites and salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks are achieved.
Fold in the roasted peanuts carefully, then spread the meringue mixture over the second layer of rolled out white dough placed on a parchment-lined baking tray.
If your oven cannot bake two sheets at once, divide the meringue mixture and bake each layer separately for 25-30 minutes at 150°C (300°F).
Step 4
For the cream, blend the boiled condensed milk with the regular condensed milk and butter until smooth and well combined.
Step 5
Once all layers are baked and cooled, place the chocolate layer at the bottom and spread a layer of the cream filling on top. Add the meringue layers next, followed by more cream.
For decoration, sprinkle the cake with roasted peanuts, cake crumbs, and drizzle with melted chocolate.
It is best to prepare this cake a day in advance of sharing, letting it sit in a cool place overnight for the best flavor.

Equipment
A sturdy mixing bowl is essential for combining ingredients smoothly. Make sure it’s large enough to allow space for whisking.



An electric mixer will help you achieve those fluffy peaks for the meringue. If you don't have one, a whisk and a lot of elbow grease will work too!



Use quality non-stick or lined baking sheets to ensure your cake layers come out easily without breaking.



This is optional but recommended for decorating your cake, especially when decorating with chocolate or cream!
Variations
If you or your guests have dietary restrictions, you can easily transform this cake into vegan and gluten-free variations! 🌱🍞
For a vegan version, simply replace the eggs with flaxseed meal mixed with water and use a dairy-free butter substitute. You can also opt for almond or coconut flour alongside gluten-free all-purpose flour to ensure every layer is light and fluffy.
Need it to be gluten-free? Ensure you use certified gluten-free flour and double-check your baking powder and any other ingredients used. This way, everyone can enjoy a slice of happiness!
