with two different fillings

For the dough, beat the egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla sugar until fluffy. Stir in the melted chocolate. Mix together the nuts, flour, and baking powder, then carefully fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites. Pour the dough into a greased springform pan (26 cm diameter) and smooth the surface. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 30 minutes. Allow to cool. For the chocolate cream, put the whipped cream in a saucepan, bring to the boil briefly, and remove from the heat. Roughly chop the chocolate, add it, and melt it in the whipped cream. Important: Then refrigerate the chocolate cream for at least 5 hours! Cut the cooled cake base in half. Place a cake ring around the bottom cake layer. Whip the well-chilled chocolate cream until creamy, pour it onto the cake base, and smooth it down. Then place the middle cake layer on top. For the advocaat cream, mix the whipped cream with the vanilla sugar and the advocaat and beat until stiff. Then carefully fold in the chocolate flakes. Spread this mixture over the middle cake layer and cover with the top layer. The cake ring can then be removed. To decorate, whip the whipped cream with the vanilla sugar until stiff. Cover the cake with about 2/3 of the whipped cream. Transfer the remaining amount to a piping bag with a serrated nozzle and pipe it onto the edge of the cake. Spread some eggnog in the center of the cake. Sprinkle the edge of the cake with chocolate shavings.
