ingredients

For the dough:
200 g of sugar
10 egg yolks
250 g of ground walnuts
3 tablespoons of breadcrumbs
a little bitter almond flavoring
10 egg whites
150 g of sugar

For the filling:
2 cups cream

Grease the bottom of a springform pan. Preheat the oven to 170°C.

Beat the sugar with the egg yolks until you obtain a frothy mixture, add the walnuts, the breadcrumbs and the bitter almond oil. Whip the egg whites with the sugar until stiff, incorporate them into the egg yolk mixture and pour into the mould. (Warning: the mixture is very rich, do not pour too much into the mold because it risks overflowing)

Bake in the oven for about 50 minutes (possibly a little longer, just test with chopsticks)

Once the base has cooled, cut it in half crosswise. Whip the cream with the sugar until stiff and fill and decorate the cake.
