It’s only a few days now until Easter, and it’s time to think up what to bake for the holiday. If you are in a hurry, and the thought of desserts requiring considerable effort and time makes you quite sick, but you don’t want to leave your guests without a dessert, rum-walnut-cocoa slices are for you.

They are a good example what a delicious dessert can be made out from simple, but high-quality ingredients. Though the filling contains a large amount of sugar, the result won’t be too sweet, it enhances the taste of walnut and cocoa powder. The filling is light and airy thanks to the beaten egg whites, the cake layers are crumbly as they are made from a shortcrust pastry, and these factors are sumed up in a miracle melting in your mouth. Once the cake is cooled, it can be cut into cubes, oblongs or rhombs, according to your own preferences.
