4. STEP 4

   

   Add white chocolate and ½ coconut flakes, stir until smooth. Do not beat vigorously, otherwise the mass will fall off and become liquid (especially in such heat!).

5. STEP 5

   

   4. Assembling the cake. Spread 1/3 of the cream on the crust

6. STEP 6

   

   top with 1/2 toasted almonds. Cover with the second cake layer, cream again, remaining almonds

7. STEP 7

Marina, this recipe requires ready-made cake layers; store-bought sponge cakes will do. Or prepared according to a different recipe.

The recipe specifies a Pecan nut for decoration, but in the photo the decoration is a Brazil nut (Bertoleta)...
