How to make a light sponge cake
Mix the egg whites with sugar until they are thick, white, and glossy.
4 egg whites, 100 g sugar
Sift both flours through a sieve.
100 g wheat flour - all-purpose, 2 tablespoons potato starch
Add the egg yolks to the mixed egg whites and gently mix on low speed - or with a spoon.
4 egg yolks
Pour in the flour and gently mix - just until combined.
Line the baking pan with parchment paper.
Pour in the batter, level the surface.
Bake at 170 degrees Celsius (fan mode) for approximately 30 minutes - until a dry skewer comes out clean.
After baking, cool the sponge cake, then cut it into two layers.
Place the bottom layer back into the pan and if you like moist cakes, soak it (I soak it with lightly sweetened water with a touch of lemon juice).
How to make chocolate cream
Break the chocolate into pieces and melt it in a bain-marie - pour some water into a pot and heat it. Place a bowl with chocolate on top of the pot and stir until it melts.
100 g chocolate
Set the chocolate aside to cool slightly.
Mix the mascarpone cheese with Nutella.
500 g mascarpone cheese, 100 g chocolate-hazelnut spread
Add the chocolate and mix everything again.
Spread the cream over the sponge cake in the pan and cover with the second cake layer.
Lightly soak this layer too if you like moist cakes.
How to make peach mousse
Dissolve the jelly in hot water and set aside to cool.
1 package jelly, 200 ml water
To the cold (but still liquid jelly), add the peach jam (I additionally blended the whole mixture to make the jelly smoother).
1 jar peach jam
Whip the cold whipping cream until it is thick.
500 ml whipping cream
Pour in the jelly with jam and gently mix.
Transfer the peach mousse onto the sponge cake and spread it in an even layer.
Place the cake in the refrigerator for several hours.
Before serving, decorate as desired - I recommend small meringues, peach slices, or sprinkles.
