Directions

  1. Whisk the egg whites with the sugar until stiff peaks form, then add the yolks and continue whisking. ≈ 4 min
  2. Add the flour mixed with cocoa, lemon zest, and ground walnuts. Knead the dough and spread it on a baking sheet.
  3. Bake for 10 minutes at 200 °C, then reduce the temperature to 180 °C and continue baking for another 10 minutes.
  4. Place the biscuit on a damp dishcloth and roll it up, then let it cool.
  5. Take 5 or 6 tablespoons of milk and bring the rest to a boil. Whisk the milk with the sugar, vanilla, and flour until there are no lumps.
  6. Pour: Pour, add to the hot milk and whisk for 2-3 minutes. Allow to cool, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
  7. Once cooled, mix with the butter and powdered sugar. Divide into two portions; in one, incorporate the melted chocolate. ≈ 4 min
  8. Boil the water with the sugar for 2-3 minutes, then add the walnuts and cook for another 1-2 minutes, before letting it cool.
  9. Unroll the biscuit, spread the chocolate-free cream evenly, then spread the walnut filling on one half. Roll again and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  10. Once the cake has cooled, pour the chocolate cream over it, similar to frosting, and serve. ≈ 2 min
