Mix flour, sugar, water, baking powder, and eggs to make the sponge batter.

Pour the sponge batter into the baking pan and bake for 10 minutes.

Remove the sponge from the oven and place it onto a kitchen towel sprinkled with sugar.

Roll the sponge cake while it's warm to help it hold its shape when cooled.

Prepare the filling by mixing ground hazelnuts, chocolate pudding, and butter in a stand mixer.

Make the buttercream using chocolate pudding and butter, beating for at least 5 minutes until creamy.

Prepare dough for Easter-themed biscuits using gluten-free flour, baking powder, butter, icing sugar, salt, and an egg with vanilla extract.

Use molds to shape the biscuits and freeze them for a few minutes before baking.

Decorate the Baumstamm cake with the buttercream and biscuits.
