Sponge Layers

Beat the eggs with sugar until light and stable foam forms, then gently fold in the flour. Divide the batter into four equal portions. Add the corresponding filling to each: poppy seeds, hazelnuts, cherry, or cranberry. Bake at 200°C for 6–8 minutes.

Berry Filling

Combine raspberry and strawberry purées and heat to 40°C. Add the sugar-pectin mixture and cook for 1 minute. Cool until fully thickened.

Cream

Whisk the dry “Carmona” base with cold water until smooth. Separately, beat the cream with condensed milk. Gently fold both mixtures together, preserving an airy texture.

Ganache

Pour hot cream over “Tanzania” chocolate and blend until smooth and silky.

Assembly

Brush each sponge layer evenly with syrup, spread a layer of cream, and add berry coulis. Finish the dessert with chocolate ganache, creating a pattern reminiscent of frosty window designs.
