1. Beat up the eggs with water. Gradually stir in the rest of the ingredients for the sponge cake. Cover a baking form with parchment paper and pour the batter. Bake at 360 degrees 40 minutes. Let cool and cut the sponge cake lengthwise into 2 layers.

2. Roast a bit the almonds and coarsely chop them.

3. Whip the cream cheese or Mascarpone with the codensed milk.

4. Assemble the cake: smear the frosting over the first layer and distribute the roasted and chopped almonds. Cover with the second layer, smear the rest of the frosting on top and sprinkle with the coconut flakes. Decorate with whole almonds. Let the cake stand for several hour or overnight in the fridge or some cool place. You will enjoy every bit of it, guaranteed!
