OHNE MEHL! Der zarteste Esterházy-Kuchen, den ich seit Jahren gebacken habe!

NO FLOUR! The most delicate Esterházy cake I've baked in years! Today we're baking the legendary Esterházy cake – the one with the thin layers of nuts, the delicate vanilla cream, and the characteristic chocolate lattice. This cake has a rich history, but I'll show you a clean, modern version that you can easily recreate at home – no complicated techniques required and no fear of things going wrong. So, if you enjoy classic European desserts, stay tuned and let's bake together! Esterházy cake (approx. 19 cm diameter, approx. 6 cm height, approx. 1.2 kg weight). 00:16 ✅ CREAM VERSION (Step 1): 6 egg yolks (medium-sized eggs). 15 g cornstarch. 10 g vanilla sugar. 150 g condensed milk. Stir until smooth. 100 g cream (33–36%). 200g of milk. Mix well. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until creamy. Cover with cling film. Allow the cream to cool to room temperature. 02:04 ✅ PEANUT CAKE: 6 egg whites (medium-sized eggs). Beat the egg whites until they are at room temperature. 150 g sugar. Add gradually in small portions. Beat the mixture on the highest setting until it is fluffy and glossy. 150 g almond flour. 8 g cornstarch. Mix until smooth. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg white mixture using a spatula, ensuring they don't separate. Cut out 18 cm diameter circles (6 walnut cakes in total). Use a non-stick baking mat or baking paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 190 °C for approximately 5–6 minutes (guideline: the cakes should feel slightly soft when pressed and not sticky). I baked two cakes one after the other. 05:23 ✅ CURD CREAM (Step 2): 250 g butter (room temperature). Whisk for 3-5 minutes until the mixture is white and voluminous. Gradually stir in the vanilla cream until a smooth mixture is formed. 06:25 ✅ ASSEMBLE: Place the cake in a ring. Layer cake and cream alternately. Cover with cling film. Refrigerate the cake for at least 12 hours. Spread a thin layer of cream on the sides of the cake. Spread the top with about 2 tablespoons of apricot jam. 07:51 ✅ GLAZE: 90g white chocolate. 30 g whipped cream (33–36%). Melt in the microwave or over a water bath. Stir until a homogeneous emulsion is formed. Spread the chocolate glaze over the top of the cake. Form a "spider web" from 10 g of dark chocolate. Sprinkle with approximately 40g of flaked almonds. This is what our Esterházy cake looks like – delicate, harmonious, with a subtle almond flavor and a beautiful cut. Once cooled, it's exactly as a classic Esterházy should be: soft, layered, and elegant.
