Belgian Chocolates

Has anyone heard of this cake and do you have the recipe?

I used to be able to buy individual cakes in the U.K. They were called Japs. They were round, the top and bottom being something rather like an almond biscuit, quite crisp and not too thin. These were sandwiched together with some sort of chocolate or coffee cream and then the whole thing was rolled in chocolate vermicelli. If you have any idea what I refer to I would love the recipe, both for the biscuits and the cream filling. Thank you in anticipation of someone knowing about these.

Cake:
3 egg whites
170 gms caster sugar
85 gms ground almonds
2 tbs cornflour
Whisk egg whites until stiff, then add half the sugar. Fold the remaining sugar with ground almonds and cornflour into mixture. Line a baking tray with baking parchment and spoon or pipe mixture into 5 cm circles. (This mixture will make about 12 circles)
Bake at 150 C/ Regulo 2 for 40 minutes.
Filling:
My recipe has a coffee butter cream filling using 85 gm butter/ 115 gm icing sugar plus coffee essence and a little hot water. You could make a chocolate butter cream instead.
Keep two of the cakes and sandwich the rest with the icing and spread a little icing round the side. Crush the other two cakes and roll the assembled cakes in the crumbs.
I think that bakers then dribble a little melted chocolate over the cake to complete the decoration
