For the glaze, prepare in advance:

- cocoa powder – 40 g.
Additionally, you will need two more tablespoons of cocoa – we will use them as a sprinkle for the cake.
How to cook?
- The "Forest Fairytale" dessert recipe begins with preparing the dough. Whip the egg whites until stiff, then add the egg yolks and sugar, then whisk again until the mixture thickens.
- After this, add sifted flour, previously mixed with slaked soda, to the resulting mixture.
- Chop the nuts and then add them to the mixture. Mix all ingredients thoroughly.
- Take a baking sheet, grease it generously with butter, then dust it with flour. Carefully place the cake batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake the dessert base in the oven for about 45 minutes at 120 degrees Celsius.
- After the specified time has passed, remove the sponge cake from the oven and let it cool for a while. Then, cut it into three equal layers.
- Next, we'll prepare the custard. Whip the cream, chilled in the refrigerator, until thick and fluffy. While whipping, gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla sugar.
- To decorate the treat, we'll also need chocolate icing. To prepare the icing, sift the sugar and cocoa powder in advance. Then, melt the butter (or margarine) and add the cocoa and sugar. Stir the mixture until it thickens.
- Spread each layer generously with the prepared frosting. Then carefully stack the layers on top of each other.
- Sprinkle the cake with cocoa powder and cover with icing. You can decorate the top with berries.
