Hey,

I'm @steemcake and today I want to show you a cake that is just perfect for special occasions - especially in the Christmas time:

"The Advocaat Cake (German Eierlikor Torte)"




Advocaat or advocatenborrel is a traditional Dutch alcoholic beverage made from eggs, sugar and brandy. The rich and creamy drink has a smooth, custard-like flavor and is similar to eggnog.

Fun Fact:

Advocaat is the Dutch word for "lawyer". As the name of the drink, it is short for advocatenborrel, or "lawyer's drink", where borrel is Dutch for a shot of an alcoholic beverage. According to the 1882 edition of the Dictionary of the Dutch Language, it is "so named as a good lubricant for the throat, and thus considered especially useful for a lawyer, who must speak in public."


What you need:

The Dough

  • 5 eggs
  • 1/2 cup (100g) sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) butter
  • 2 packages vanilla sugar
  • 200g hazelnuts, grated
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 100g chocolate, grated

The Topping

  • 2/3 cup (100ml) advocaat (maybe you want more ☺)
  • 3 1/3 cups (800ml) whipped cream
  • 4 packages cream stiffener
  • 1/4 cup (40g) sugar
  • chocolate, grated for decorations

How to do it:

  • Preheat oven to ~ 345° F (175° C).

  • Mix sugar, butter, vanilla sugar, hazelnuts, baking powder and the chocolate.

  • Beat egg whites until stiff and carefully mix to the dough.

  • Bake at ~ 345° F (175° C) for 45 minutes. Cool completely.

  • For the topping mix whipped cream, cream stiffener and the sugar and spread it onto the whole cake.

  • Pour the advocaat into the middle of the cake.

  • Decorate if you want.
