three-colored dessert with a cocoa base, meringue layer and yolk cream is one of those striking sheet desserts that appeal both in taste and visually. If you’re looking for similar creamy layered desserts, I recommend trying fluffy homemade Kinder milk slices – a delicate cocoa base with milk cream, or Pribináček-style sheet cake – a dessert with sponge cake and cream that quickly becomes a favorite in every family.

For 16 portions

Ingredients

Dark cocoa layer:

6 eggs
6 tablespoons granulated sugar
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cocoa
6 tablespoons cold water
1 tablespoon baking powder

Egg-white layer:

6 egg whites
12–16 tablespoons sugar (to taste)
1 tablespoon vinegar

Yolk cream:

6 egg yolks
150 g granulated sugar
50 ml milk
3 packs of vanilla sugar
250 g butter
100 g powdered sugar

To finish:

grated chocolate or chocolate glaze

Preparation procedure

Beat the egg whites until stiff, gradually add the sugar, then the yolks and the water. Finally fold in the flour mixed with the cocoa and baking powder. Spread the batter on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 180 °C for about 15–20 minutes so that the base is half-baked.
Whip the egg whites and sugar into stiff peaks, finally beat in the vinegar. Spread the meringue evenly over the pre-baked base, return to the oven and finish baking at 150 °C for another 15–20 minutes. Let cool completely and then cut the base horizontally into two parts.
Heat the egg yolks, sugar, milk and vanilla sugar in a double boiler until thickened. Let cool completely. Beat the butter with the powdered sugar until fluffy and gradually beat in the yolk mixture.
Spread half of the cream on the bottom layer, top with the other layer and coat the surface with the remaining cream. Decorate with grated chocolate or glaze. Let rest in the refrigerator.
