Found the perfect viewpoint at @HotelColonBarcelona for a final goodbye toast to a city that’s stolen our hearts over the past few weeks.⠀ ⠀ Barcelona, we’ll miss you and the guarantee of daily siestas, sunset swims at 9pm and mostly, that we don’t even feel bad smashing a paella for dinner, because you’re so beautiful – we’d happily walk ⠀ 100 000 steps a day to get to know you better. ⠀ ⠀ #VivaEspana

TO SERVE

METHOD

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.

2. Grease a 20cm spring form cake tin and line the base and sides with baking paper.

6. Fold the wet mixture with the sifted dry ingredients.

7. In a very clean bowl, beat the three egg whites to stiff peak.

8. Fold the stiffly whipped egg whites gently into the wet mixture to make a batter; try to lose as little air as possible.

9. Pour a third of the batter into the lined tin and level it out. Evenly space a layer of the Daim chocolates on top.

10. Cover with another third of the batter, levelling it over the chocolate pieces. Add another carefully spaced layer of Daim chocolates.

11. Top with the last bit of batter, covering all the chocolate.

12. Bake in the oven for about 1½ hours or until a skewer comes out clean.

13. Remove from oven and allow to cool.

14. Make a ganache by the melting the white chocolate and adding a little cream until smooth and glossy.

15. Pour over the cake and finish with shards of nut praline.
