Directions

• Combine all ingredients for the crust. You can do it with your hand or using a food processor. Wrap in foil and put in refrigerator for 1/2 hour.
• Cut the dough in half and roll to the size of your pan, 18x30 cm (7x12 inches). Place one half in the bottom of buttered and floured pan.
• In a large bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Add caster sugar and beat until incorporated.
• Mix in egg yolks, one by one. Add vanilla extract, chocolate, and lemon juice and mix briefly.
• Fold in ground walnuts and gently mix with a spoon or spatula (do not use mixer for this step).
• Transfer filling to the pan, cover with second part of the dough. Bake in preheated 175 C (350 F) oven until top is pale golden, about 30 minutes.
• Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
