Just tasted this cake at Ikea and it was so delicious.... thanks for your incredibly detailed recipe...I will be making it this weekend...any idea where to buy Daim bars or what would be a good substitution?
Assuming you're American, Hershey's Skor bars should be a really good substitute, as should the Heath bars. Skor don't have the almond in the toffee, and there's some difference to the quality of the chocolate in the three candy bars from what I can tell, but I honestly doubt anyone would notice the difference. You could also use any other brittle toffee you have access to - it doesn't need to be chocolate covered since you're covering the whole cake with chocolate anyway.
Interesting recipe. Will have to try this one, although traditionally I've never put flour, vanilla or coconut oil. I think the way I've done it in the past without those matches the original quite well with a very fragile sponge and barely thick custard. Maybe it makes it closer to the Almondy's version or just nicer doing it your way though. Will definitely try and compare!
Interesting, thanks for this feedback! Flour definitely adds stability for the cake layer but flourless must be just as good but maybe a bit trickier to handle during assembly. I am guilty of putting vanilla on almost anything 😂 And the oil with the chocolate I love just for the crispy effect 🙂
@@Swipe-the-hair-off-your-screen Yes almond exactly. But I think they use coarser almond meal than the superfine flour. They also make another similar cake using hazelnuts but unfortunately haven’t found that anywhere.
I have just made it yesterday but i am a little bit disappointed about the custard filling... it does not thickened like you on your video although put it all night in the frige. So i dececided to add gelatine and it turns ok. Maybe to much whipping cream in the recepie? Anyway, hope it will tast good! Thank you!
Hello! If I were to substitute the ground hazelnut and flour with almond flour, how much would I put? And if I were to reduce the butter how much is enough to put to keep it creamy
Thank you for this very well done video and recipe! My soon-to-be 10 year old son has requested a Daim cake for his birthday so I am going to try to make it, thanks to you. I was wondering if there was a reason why you have used ground hazelnuts rather than ground almonds? I always assumed the Daim cake had almonds. I have some ground almonds in my home currently so would rather use that over buying ground hazelnuts.
Made it the other day, everything was perfect except too much butter for my personal taste, it completely overtook the beautiful taste of custard. Next time i'm gonna reduce it by half and see the result.
Great recipe! but totally agree about too much butter taking over the custard. I will also try cutting in half the next time I make it. So easy and so delicious - thanks!
Solo con verlo me antojé y la hora del postre, fue un éxito 😊

Cool! well, ikea sells them afaik but any candy bar would go nicely, daim is like chocolate cover toffee bits so you can use those too :)

Hello! If I were to substitute the ground hazelnut for all-purpose flour, would that work?
Very professional and eloquent. Keep it up.
Thank you so much!

The original Daim cake has always been gluten-free-no all-purpose flour. Think Almondy Bakery just uses ground nuts.
It's almond flour I think

Too much butter in my opinion.

Hi there! I went for hazelnut for a richer flavor in the sponge but almond is also fine, ive even seen people combine both 🙂
Happy baking!
Can the daim bar be replaced with another toffe chocolate bar?
They don’t sell daim bar in where I live :(
Yes you can, or just use plain toffee bits works 🤗
@@BakingNicky Thank you ^^
@@BakingNicky great, thank you ^^

I understand what you mean and sounds delicious to make it more custardy and less German buttercreamy 😊
Great recipe! but totally agree about too much butter taking over the custard. I will also try cutting in half the next time I make it. So easy and so delicious - thanks!
Can u put almonds instead of hazelnuts
Absolutely!
Hello, can the custard butter cream go back in the fridge over night before putting it onto the cake or will it harden?
Also, will the cake go soggy if I assemble it the night before? Very excited to give this a go!
Hi! You can make the custard ahead just make sure to beat it a bit so that it’s spreadable. It shouldn’t get soggy overnight 🙂
@@BakingNicky thank you for sharing this recipe! I ended up splitting the butter cream 🤦 but it was still delicious!!
Maybe I missed it, but what temperature and for how long do you bake the cakes?
It shows this information at 7:14 in the video.
thanks for jumping in!
What brand off egg is this i like the yolk color
Hello! I couldn’t tell you which brand
Just some local farmer 🙂
Actually Daim is my name 😅
You Gotta have this cake then! 😱
@@BakingNicky ya right 😁
White choclate version so much nicer
Also yummy!
Anyone who wants ro try it, should head to ikea and buy it. Seems quite long process, lol.
I am going to send my husband to ikea and buy it there.
Anyone who wants to try it and don’t have an ikea nearby can make this recipe 🙃
Why do they never show people eating the delicious cake! That's the best part to, see people enjoying the goodness.
Really? Fair enough, some of us find that fake 😅
@@BakingNicky I don’t care about real or fake, I just want to be entertained . And if I can’t eat it I’m going to enjoy watching you eat it :) .
What a hill! 🤯
@@BakingNickycouldn’t agree more! Criiiinge
Its complicated why do you try simplicity
Is this a question? 😂
