Description

Ingredients

• 8 ounces ground walnuts
• 9 ounces fine sugar
• 6 eggs, at room temperature
• 8 walnut halves, for decoration
• Icing sugar for decoration
• Sweetened whipping cream for serving

Directions

• Butter and flour a 9-inch pan. Preheat the oven to 350° F.
• Separate the egg yolks from the whites. Beat the sugar with the yolks until very fluffy and light in color, about 8 to 10 minutes. With a spatula, mix in the ground walnuts.
• Beat the egg whites to soft peaks. In three parts, delicately fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture.
• Pour the cake mixture into the pan and bake until it starts to shrink from the sides and a toothpick comes out just slightly humid but with no crumbs or cake mixture - 30 / 40 minutes depending on the oven. Do not overbake - it should be moist inside!
• Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before turning it out on a cooling rack.
• When cool, transfer to a serving plate, dust with a cloud of icing sugar, and decorate with the walnut halves. Serve with slightly cold whipped cream. Enjoy!
