Cut the biscuit into three parts. The first cake is generously greased with fruit jam, and in the second - cut out the middle and spread on top of the first. Now in the center of the ring we spread the remaining jam, grease the cake with protein cream, cover with the third part of the biscuit. Firmly press all the parts, coat the sides and the top of the cake with the remaining cream.
You can decorate such a dessert with chocolate chips, fresh fruits and coconut. In our case, we chose fresh berries. We wash the berries under cold water and divide them into two parts.
