I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
1. Mill sugar 10 seconds on speed 8. Set aside.
2. Before whipping the egg whites ensure your bowl and blade are thoroughly clean. Wipe out with white vinegar and dry thoroughly before placing the egg whites in. Add cream of tartar, place butterfly into position and whip for 5 minutes at 50 degrees on speed 4.
3. Tip egg whites ito a large bowl and gently fold the cocoa and milled sugar through.
4. Spoon merangue mixture into 3 sandwich pans lined with baking paper, and bake in a slow oven (150 degrees centigrade) for 3 hours.
5. Remove from oven and allow to cool in the tins.
6. Whip cream in 2 batches. Pleace butterfly into cleaned bowl and beat on speed 4 for 30 to 50 seconds. Watch it carefully as you don't want to end up with butter!
7. Place cream into large bowl and gently fold through most of the nuts, the choc chips and the extra sugar. (A handful of the nuts is reserved to decorate the top.)
8. Join two of the layers of merangue with about a third of the cream mixture.
9. Cover the top and sides of the cake with the rest of the cream.
10. Break the other merangue into pieces and randomly stick it into the top and sides of the cake,
11. Place the last lot of chocolate in bowl and chop for 8 seconds on speed 6. Melt it at 50 degrees for 90 seconds (or until melted).
12. Drizzle over the cake as desired and then sprinke the reserved nuts over the top.
Refrgerate until serving.
