  • Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
  • For the cake, in the mixing bowl, sift the almond flour, powdered sugar, cocoa, and wheat flour using a sieve; add the Huevo San Juan®, the butter, and mix for 1 minute until all ingredients are incorporated. Set aside.
  • Whip the egg whites from Huevo San Juan® and the sugar until they double in size; you should achieve a meringue consistency.
  • Fold the mixture you made for the cake into the meringue gently.
  • Spread the previous mixture on trays lined with parchment paper and lower the oven temperature to 160 °C to bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool at room temperature.
  • For the cream, mix the butter with the cheese and powdered sugar using a spatula until you achieve a uniform texture. This cream will be used to fill the egg molds that will shape the cupcakes and to form the layers of the cake.
  • Fill the egg-shaped molds with the cream and make sure to cover all the bottom spaces. Set aside.
  • Once you have cooled the cake layers, you will start forming the layers; add a bit of cream to one of the layers and spread it, place another layer on top of the cream and repeat the operation until finished. Freeze for 2 hours.
  • Using a small cutter, cut the cake formed in the previous step and place it inside the egg-shaped mold with the cream, close the mold and freeze until firm again.
  • Remove from the freezer and unmold; carefully shape the egg with your hands to ensure it has the perfect form.
  • Roll out the fondant to a thickness of 2 mm using a rolling pin, cut with a knife, seal, and cover the little egg.
  • Present the eggs in a Huevo San Juan® dome.
